Who are the audience?
How is the audience appealed to?
What is the remit?
How is the remit met?
What evidence from the show could you use to answer your answer?
The live lounge appeals to the audience by having younger presenters who are probably more relatable to the younger audience which they target. Their remit is to have listeners from the ages 15-29, most likely going through school or college ect. An example of this is they brought on an up and coming artist named self esteem, they let her play a couple of her songs and say a few things about herself almost being able to promote herself in a way

b)- Bauer Media owns radio stations as well as magazines. Identify the word that describes adding other areas business in this way. diversification
c) Identify one method of funding for BBC Radio 1. Tv license funds the BBC
Question 2. Explain one way that radio stations target their audiences. Use the Radio 1 Live Lounge as an example in your answer:
a)Radio stations target audiences by having a certain genre about it, such as the music they play, which can attract a certain audience. For example if they have young presenters or young artists it will attract young people as they can relate to them.
b)They meet the requirements of the PSB by the presenters not using explicit or inappropriate language until late at night and its the same with the music, they wont play songs with explicit language until late at night.
c) Radio audiences are passive because they are just listening to the radio they aren't interacting with it, however sometimes they do make the radio interactive making the audience active with the radio by making quiz games for prizes ect.
Question 3. -BBC provides a wider range of content than commercial radio for several reasons.
-Firstly Radio 1 provides...
-This example is due to the remit and in particular...
-We can identify thus un the live lounge through...
BBC radio has to provide a wide range of content is because it is the radio which is funded by the public meaning they have to give back to the public. This means they need to have a wide range of content so that their are many different audiences to target meaning they will have more people listening the BBC radios. An example of this is BBC Radio 1 Live lounge, As this is extra content provided by the BBC so that the audience has more things to listen to and makes it alot more interactive. This extra content gives the radio a much bigger audience because some people might like the extra content they have meaning they have a higher amount of audience.

LO: to examine the use of media language in music videos
Mise-en-scene
-setting
-costume
-props
-lighting
-hair & makeup
-colour
-performance: positioning, facial expressions,body language
01
They used this costume because it has a soldier camo colouring on it which has connotations to being brave and being a soldier
In this video it shows wealth and happiness, it does this by the clothes they're wearing, it's designer and luxury which shows the wealth, it also shows this by them being in what looks like a very posh hotel as the walls are gold and have luxury.
She is laying in a bath with lots of jewellery in it and the tap is made out of gold
Mise en scene Sk8ter boi;
-Guy with the piercing which suggests he is in the rock/punk genre as it is trendy in that culture
-The girl is throwing a devil sign which signifies rebellion and punk
-
09/02/23
Work lost when refreshed.
The two music videos i have studied use setting and costume effectively because they show and fit the genre of the song, For example in Sk8ter Boi Avril Lavigne is wearing studded bracelets which are stereotypical to the punk/rock genre. And in Teenage dirtbag the main character in the video is dressed quite strangely and different to everyone else to imply he is a nerd.

LO; To explore how camerawork is used to create meaning in music videos.
The connotations of this setting is that everything is red which could suggest either love or death,this could mean she's singing about these things.

6- Shot name - Extreme close up

Sk8ter Boi - Frantic
Teenage dirtbag - Steady
The camera movement in Sk8ter Boi is expressionistic, For example, at one point in the video it has a slow motion shot which is very steady, The camera work fits the theme of the song because it is meant to be filmed like a movie.

L/O To explore and practice exam style questions 20/4/23
4 mark question
Compare how gender representation are constructed in music videos. Refer to the two music videos you have studied to support your answer.
Gender stereotypes are challenged in Sk8ter boi because Avril Levigne is not being shown for her body or as an object, She also isn't wearing stereotypical feminine clothes, such as baggy non revealing clothes. Where as in Teenage Dirtbag the main girl in the video is being shown more as an object and more feminine as she is wearing a dress and has feminine makeup on.
10 mark question
Explain how stereotypes are used in music videos. Refer to the two music videos you have studied to support your answer. 10
Music producers use stereotypes because they are very easy for an audience to recognise and therefore, identify characters. In Sk8ter Boi, They use a teenage rebel stereotype. We see teenagers doing lots of rebellious things like: graffitiing walls, abseiling down buildings and set up an illegal street concert. This shows a lack of respect to laws and rules and fits the rebel stereotype usually associated with teenagers. However some of the stereotypes are challenged as Avril Levigne is not represented is a stereotypical female. This is because she is not wearing revealing or fancy clothes which is usually associated with women but is wearing baggy clothes which fit with the skater stereotype.
In Teenage dirtbag stereotypes are also used so that the audience can understand the video better. They have the "Jocks" In certain jackets, in a large group and looking athletic and everyone seeming to like them and then they have the "nerd" in certain clothes that aren't seen as fashionable and making him seem out of place. They also make the girl in the video quite stereotypical as she is wearing quite a revealing fancy dress and has makeup and also she is made to look as liked by others as she is with other people and smiling making it seem to the audience she is popular and feminine.
