EDUQAS GCSE COMP 2, MUSIC VIDS (SEC B) 2024 ONWARDS: MUSIC VIDEO CODES & CONVENTIONS WORKSHOP

This TRIPLE lesson begins the Music video unit of Component 2, Section B. This resource has been specifically designed to be taught as an intro lesson to music videos and can be used in correspondence with any of the set text videos your centre has chosen. This lesson makes little to no mention of the set texts etc.

This lesson focuses on:

-Exam breakdown of Section B and timings with example paper.
-STARTER: What is the point of music videos? Consider this from the perspective of the audience, artist and their record label.
-A brief history of the music video and it’s importance to the music industry.
-The three types of music video; Narrative, Performative and experimental with an analysis of two music videos and application of these new terms.
-A help slide on everything that falls under Media Language in the exam.
-A discovery learning task whereby students watch and use information to define ALL the genres/ sub-genres covered in the EDUQAS exam (Pop, R&B, Hip Hop, Country and Grime). Each genre/ sub-genre has an accompanying video, should you wish to embed learning further with a visual example.
-Students break down unseen frames against RESISTS model with exemplar and scaffols provided.
-Support slide detailing the key codes and conventions of music videos.
-An in-depth video on the historical relevance of music videos and the changing importance of them.

IMPORTANT! Please consult slide one of the power point which details the colour-coding system of the slides to aid students with their knowledge of RAIL (Representation, Audience, Industry and Media Language) as well as CHEPS (Cultural, Historical, Economic, Political and Social contexts).
