Introduction to Media Studies

        Hey friends, my name is Fatima Faya and I attend Fort Lauderdale High school, this year I am officially a Junior and will be turning 17 this October, finally! Unfortunately, I don't have my permit or license, yes, I know, it's sad. However, life has been pretty good so far. The first months of quarantine were kind of frustrating, I spent my days lounging around and craving social contact. These last few months were pretty good though, I got to wake up at whatever time and spent countless hours watching my favorite shows on Netflix and would occasionally do something productive.

Critical Reflection Questions

 1. How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?      Our music video challenges conventions because it takes on a different perspective from a classic pop music video. We mainly wanted to focus on the message of the song rather than the actual music video. The only convention that we did include in our video is that we wanted to express our happiness, which is very common to see in pop music videos. We dance around for a scene and did our makeup, all aspects that could be seen in today's music video. Seeing girls get ready to go out and pick out their outfits are common conventions. One example is Iggy Azalea's music video to Fancy, the entire music video was inspired by the classic rom-com Clueless. She began the video by picking out an outfit and getting ready for school, a common introduction to see in pop music videos by female artists.      Like we mentioned, the most important part of...
