Textual analysis of music video

You are briefed to conduct a textual analysis using Prezi.  This will enable you to attache video links, visuals and text.   Students must ensure that their work is well presented and covers the following areas...

• About the song
• Mise en scene
• Camera work
• editing
• sound
• narratology
• Media theory (representation)
• Why is this important (summarise the aspects of your analysis are important to you or important to the creation of a media text).

You will need to combine text and visuals to help underpin learning where the images presented will help to illustrate your analysis of the media text.


Please see below examples from previous years...  These students were on the old spe, as such you are expected to do the analysis differently.    YOU WILL NEED TO ENSURE THAT YOU COVER ALL OF THE ABOVE bullet pointed areas with A MINIMUM  of 2 slides  for the following Micro elements : Mise en scene, Camera work, editing, sound. and a MINIMUM of 1 slide for the remaining areas.   Please be aware that to gain extra marks yo can conduct a more in depth analysis similar to the presentation provided to you by your tutor on Beyonce: formation.
