In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

There were several different aspects to my video that inspired me to make the video that i did, artists who sing about real things in particular rap artist made me make a video about contreversial issues. 2pac and NWA sang about these kinds of things and for my video a song by Akon called locked made me want to use the costume that i did.

i wanted to have the same vibe as i did in this video so we got an orange jump suit to help us portray the idea that he was all alone and he was being victimized. We also wanted to enhance this message by making the whole of the video black and white in some places and the bright orange standing out.

Here are two screen shots that inspired the making of ma video and my digipak, the first is from a film called schindlers list and the second from the music video locked up.

According to Andrew Goodwins theory ma video follows the route of Amplification, it clearly has a message and the message is being stated clearly through mies en scene. Another important piece of costume was the actual suit, when he is standing in front of the houses of parliament it is meant to represent a message that not all muslims are the same.

It challenges the classic representations that all muslims are terrorists and this shows that they can al have self respecting jobs.
