2)Explain one way in which music videos use media language to differ from each other. Refer to one example of contrasting media language in two music videos you  have studied to support your answer.

The two music videos i studied were Beyonce- 'If I Were A Boy' and Bruno Mars- 'Uptown Funk'. In if i were a boy the music video uses mise-en-scene to go along with the song because the song is a song about gender issues and the beat isn't upbeat so the mies-en-scene was all neutral/dark and monochrome colours whereas in Uptown Funk the music video is an upbeat song so the mies-en-scene has bright colours for the outfits to fit within the songs lyrics and beats.

4)Refer to extract 1 in the insert. Analyse the representation of musicians in extract 1. Which is from MOJO magazine.

In the extract the colour pallet is monochrome and the clothing is all dark colours to represent and attracts the target audience because the target audience is mature and and more into that genre than any other genre of music.

5)Refer to Extracts 1 and 2 in the insert.
How far is media language used differently in Extracts 1 and 2 to reflex genre conventions?
In your answer you must:

• Analyse examples of how media language is used similarly and differently in extracts 1 and 2, which are from we love pop and MOJO magazines 
• Make judgements and reach conclusions about whether there are more similarities due to genre conventions than differences in the extract
