Statement of intent

Centre Number: 16706 Centre name: Harris Academy Chafford Hundred Sixthform Candidate number: 3184 Candidate name: Abigail Wyatt How do you intend to use the four areas of the media theoretical framework to communicate meaning and meet the requirements of your chosen brief? (approx. 400 words)   Product 1 (music video): Through media language i would have portray codes and conventions to communicate meaning through the use of camera work. Through being able to effectively use camera work of panning across the landscapes i have chosen, and making the camera shots and angles reflect upon the emotions and feelings i wish to express of vulnerability and weakness, i planned to show that the audience is the ones who have the power over the world, and that only we can help. I then intended to use media representation on the events, linking to littering and the constant battle between man and the environment, through using man made factories and buildings which overshadow the beauty of nat...

   Website: https://abigailwyatt2002.wixsite.com/website-1 Some feedback included was: > " I like the colours, adding a demo of the song you intended to use is amazing, i think that it's really creative however, i think it could have had more to do with being an artist and showing that they are a legitimate artist" > "I love the photos, it really shows what the message and meaning of the artist is as well as why they want to pursue music and the way they want their fans to feel when they get on the website and motivate them. Maybe in the sideshow include less about the environment and more about the artist" Home Page: Video page: Video is not included as i was unable to complete that section due to coronavirus What my intentions was for this: By using direct address throughout the product ("together we will rise") i planned to help fans interact with the artist to feel a sense of care - that the artist wants to interact with their audience.

Storyboard: https://padlet.com/abigailwyatt/grncndxz1qlbby3l As i was unable to finish my final product due to coronavirus, i created a storyboard including some images i took which i planned to use within my final product I planned for my main character to wear clothes such as this: Where as the young boy and girl who are playing will be wearing clothes similar to: These photos have been taken of the internet, why i choose these photos is because i want the teenage character to blend into the crowd, to care about what he wears and to want to not stand out. Where as the children are children, they will wear the colours they like and wear play clothes when they go out so that they don't get their nicer clothes ruined. In choosing these clothes, i plan to interpret the child-like playfulness i hope to capture in innocence, where as for the teenager i plan to show him as "one of the numbers", social change starts with one person, who is just like everyone else, i plan to sho...

  NEA Planning Part 5 - Casting Introduction The purpose of my task is so that i can identify the actors i plan to use in my products in hopes to show their suitability for the roles provided and whether they will fit the needs of my target audience Main Character 1: Name: Joshua James Wyatt Age: 15 Relative: Brother Key information: Joshua is a typical teenager, he plays video games, he sits in his room and only comes down for food or to go to school. The reason i plan to use him is that he is almost within the target audience, which is ages 16-25. Everyone within that age range can relate to him because they were once like, if not, similar to him. They were once teenagers. He was born with a clef palette and has both a speech impediment and hearing impairment. Being an older sister i've watched my brother go into operations and come out stronger each time. He is a brown belt within Jujitsu and when he turns 16 will work towards his 1st dan (black belt). Despite all hardships he k...

NEA Planning Part 4 - Location information   Introduction: The purpose of the task i’m about to complete is to assess and identify which locations i will use for my music video. I will be giving an area i plan to use for my music video and will make a risk assessment for what i need to take into account when filming and the safety of my actors when filming, some areas will be rough terrain so i must be careful and take extra precautions. Location When looking into location i decided why they were suitable and hazards i'd need to be careful of, weather being a main precaution to take into account. Conclusion I have decided that these locations are suitable as not only do they effectively relay the message i intend to give to my audience, but it also gives an in site to how i plan to effectively use these areas to advantage. One issue being the weather which i will have to take into account every time i plan to film, as i may have to film other days, Grays being a main issue as i pla...

NEA Planning Part 3 - Product Style Profile     Introduction:       In this section I hope to sketch and plan out the process of creating my music video through going through the lyrics and combining the music videos  I  have studied as well as the music video for the song I am about to use to create a plan on how  I  am going to create my music video, to incorporate both real life and meaning.   Logo Idea 1:   Drafts 1, 2 and final:     When making this idea, I wanted to incorporate the use of nature and trees, so looking into the logo I decided that a tree, for my first idea, would be the best to work on. TTS stands for Take Their Stand, as the environment cannot stand up for itself and I  wanted to have that message prominent within  all of  my logos. The tree was the easy part, but to have the message present was something I wanted to work on. Having used a basic font and placing it in front of the tree ...
