Finalising my video

 Hi readers, this week I have been finishing up my video. since I've been finishing up I thought to share my personal feeling n how I feel about my whole journey with everyone. 

Throughout, the journey that I have gone through during this project is very personal and emotional for me, I cried several times making this video or the times when I was picking out my favourite memories with my favourite people. My initial idea was to make a nostalgic and to target teenage friendships, which I personally feel I have covered that idea throughout my music video. I wanted to show how life changes and we all have a path we can go on and we loose people along this path and that's the journey of life. Myself when I changed countries and left my beloved friends in my home country, I was very sad but along the way I started to adapt and live my life regularly but I still miss them and I love every second I get with them on calls, every time I go back the one thing I'm always excited about is seeing them and still look forward on spending time with them. By using iMovie I was able to recollect all my memories and put them together.

Researching Album Cover

 Hi readers, this week I've been researching how I want to plan and design my album cover.   When researching album artwork and its relationship to wider promotional strategies, I observed that many successful musicians create highly cohesive visual branding that links the album cover, title, and overarching themes. A prime example is The Weeknd’s  Starboy  (2016), where the saturated red and blue neon palette, his introspective pose, and the symbolic cross necklace work together to encode deeper messages about fame, inner turmoil, and personal transformation. According to Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory, such visual elements serve as signs that audiences decode to understand the emotional and narrative layers of the media text. The stark contrast between the dark imagery and the bright yellow "STARBOY" title effectively communicates the duality of celebrity life — a concept that is both visually and thematically integrated across the album campaign. Drawing inspirat...

Music Video Analysis

  Hi readers!! I decided to analyse 'Formation' by Beyonce, as I think she really did a great job on this music video. "Formation" is a visual manifesto that challenges racial injustice, honours Black culture, and reimagines the political possibilities of pop music. It is more than simply a music video. It's an outstanding illustration of how artists may utilise media to subvert prevailing narratives and inspire significant change.  She faced love because of this video, as she addressed a very sensitive issue. She was even nominated for multiple  Grammy Awards  because it was a groundbreaking piece of art that combined powerful  music, visual storytelling, and cultural commentary .  Beyoncé’s  Formation  (2016), directed by Melina Matsoukas, is a highly polysemic and political music video that uses strong visual codes and signifiers to construct meaning around race, identity, and empowerment. The video deploys Barthes’ theory of semiotics, us...

Critical Reflection

Hi readers, this is my personal reflection on my project.. The project I have created represents the epitome of my identity and is a product of pure imaginative instinct paired with depth in research. Every detail of every outcome is infused with my deep-rooted feelings about friendship, separation, and nostalgia, serving as a heartfelt response to the experience of missing my best friends in my home country after moving away. Built around Puff Daddy’s “I’ll Be Missing You,” the music video allowed me to express emotions that are often difficult to put into words, starting from the symbolic opening of a passport and boarding pass, transitioning into a plane window, and then fading into a montage of memories shared with my friends, ending once more with the aircraft window to show that the entire journey was filled with reflection. The collage album cover and vinyl design, featuring the phrase “Some goodbyes last forever, so do the memories,” act as visual and emotional artefacts of the...
