 Summer Project Tasks

Task 1: Research and Textual Analysis

Pharrell Williams - Happy


  1. Mise-en-scène & Visual Style: Take 3 screenshots. Use the CLAMPS acronym (Costume, Lighting, Actor placement/movement, Make-up, Props, Setting) to explain how a specific mood or brand identity is created. What are the denotations and connotations of these choices?


        


















2.) Target audience: Who is this media product aimed at? Explain how the language tone and visual style appeal directly to this target audience.

The tone, language and visual style is targeted to the audience to make them feel happy and positive. I think the media product is aimed at everyone as it is something that is enjoyable to all ages.




  3.) How does the video make the audience feel like they are part of a fan community? How does it build the artist's brand?
          
I think the video makes the audience feel like there part of a fan community by including anyone of all ages to sing and dance to the song. This can build the artists brand by having a more mainstream audience as the song doesn't feel targeted at a certain group or age range.

Task 2: Establishing a Concept & Brand Identity


 What is the name of the band/artist? What is their musical genre? What is the core style/vibe of their brand?


The name of the artist is Roxanne swift , there music genre is pop and the vibe of their brand is entertaining and positive.
