Task - Hunger Games

Read a selection of reviews and summarise the key points. Select some good, snappy quotes that you could potentially learn for the exam.

Red and summarise the articles I posted - especially the political analysis. See if you can find any other commentary on the political/social messages of the film.

Get LOTS more contextual information. What happened in 2012 globally and in the USA especially? What other films came out around the same time as The Hunger Games? How does this relate to the film's message and the manner in which it was produced?

Get more info on Lionsgate - what other films did they release in 2012, beforehand and afterwards?

Music video pitches

You need to create a pitch for your music video concept; you should plan and deliver your pitch as a group (pitching to start on Friday). Your pitch should include:

uDetails of your song (you may want to play some of it)

uDetails of the artist/band you have created, including name, back story and image/style. Logo ideas if you have them.

uWhich record label your band/artist is signed to and why

uDetails of your target audience

uDetails of your video concept – you may want to use images to help communicate this

uHow will you address Goodwin’s theory, including explaining the codes & conventions of your chosen genre

It is important that your pitch is engaging. The class will be giving feedback on your ideas and this forms part of your audience research.
