How does my media product use forms and conventions of a real media product?• Before I started making my music video I did some research

on what the forms and conventions are of music videos of the same genres as mine. I did this by watching real music videos and taking note of what the forms and conventions are. I used these forms and conventions when making my music video to make sure my media product has a clear genre to appeal to target audience.

Forms and conventions of a pop, boy band, music video

How does my media product challenge forms and conventions of real media

products?• My media product doesn’t really challenge

any of the forms and conventions of the boy band/pop genre. This is because I chose to strictly stick to the conventions of the genre because I know what who my target audience is, I know what they want to see and I know sticking to these codes and conventions will entice them to my media product
