Red hot Chili Peppers - Give it Away
The song that I have chosen below is directed by Rick Rubin, Rick has worked with other similar bands that also have similar music videos. Examples are Metallica, Linkin Park and Beastie boys. Each one of these bands have distinctive videos that suit their play style of music. The is shown in their videos, in most of the videos they tend to be dark, emotional and have a similar style. I think that even the bands have a similar style, each band that Rick has worked with works in a similar genre. This is good because he has the skill and knowledge to work well with the genres.
The main message of the video in my opinion is confusing and is weird, I think this because of what happens in the video and also the style of it. This is because of what happens, the band singing and dancing in a desert environment - something that is not normal in society today.

Pastice and Parody
Parody and Pastiche
Pastiche
In todays lesson in groups we had to look at pastiche and parody, we we're given envelopes that contain links and information that we're for the main answer.
Pastiche - in my opinion I think that pastiche I think that it is a more serious style of Parody, I think this because of the style of the material and the material involved. One example of this is the music video, michael Jackson thriller - at the same time this video's purpose is to be a horror but in a sense it contains humour. This is because of the fake reality, dancing zombies is funny because it is something that is not saw everyday and is original to the audience. Another example of Pastiche would be the film 'Shaun of the Dead' - I have chosen this because it is similar to the music video, it is similar because it contains elements of zombies, horror and major comedy. All of these elements make it a perfect example of Pastiche.
"Speech in a dead language" - A language that anyone no longer understands, they do not notice it and it no longer exists.
"Displaces 'real' history" - removes the well known history in society and replaces with the real/unknown
Moulin Rouge is focused on love and drama, during the film there is slight aspects with comedy, one example is the clothes, actors and certain scenes - I have chosen this because the audience mainly focus on the drama/love aspect, but no one notices the comedy. The movie also contained new elements with the music, this shows that trends follow through from the past to the future.
Parody
Parody is mainly a joke, skit of media materials. One example of this is the movie Austin Powers and shaun of the dead, both of these films do not contain originality but they have many different aspects of other films. In the movie austin powers there are skits and jokes of films, this is for the audience so they can have relevance to the other parts. In the movie shaun of the dead it's main point is horror but during the film there is the aspect of comedy, cannot be taken serious. Austin powers and shaun of the dead loose their seriousness with the style of the film, this is due to the film itself.
Has relevance to many different aspects that relate to the original pieces - no originality.
Pink stupid girls - the video shows Pink trying to fit in by doing what the other women do, this is shown with a parody and comedy. With the parody it shows the aspect of culture and social with the style of women.

Chris Cunningham overview
Madonna Frozen
The song 'Frozen' by Madonna was produced by Chris Cunningham, Chris in his early years had worked with short films. While producing short films he was asked to do work in music production. He had used his talents and skills to produce some of the most well known videos today. When starting work in the music business he had worked with Warp records. The first video that I had looked at that was produced by Chris cunningham was Madonna frozen, the second video that I will be looking will be by 'Aphex twins'. In my opinion I think that most of the videos that he will involved with are focused on one point. Horror, gothic, dark and deep emotion.
In his short movie career he had mainly produced dark films. Examples of these are Alien 3, Alien and Rubber Johnny. All of these films are aimed at a specific crowd, dark and twisted. He also shows this in his music videos, an example of this is in the two music videos, Madonna frozen and Aphex twins come to daddy. In the music videos they contain many different edits and cuts, but they are not shown in the video - this makes it look like it was simple and took no effort.
In the video above it shows Chris Cunningham's style, it shows the dark, creepy and emotional. The overall video is about the darkness and the emotion. This is shown by the children in the video, edits and the actors.
The video below is another example of Chris Cunningham's work, the video is Madonna Frozen. Again in the video it shows the dark and emotion that is involved with the producer. Chris Cunningham has a pattern that he follows when making videos.

Music and me in the class
Music and me in the class/comparison
In todays lesson I had found out many peoples different taste in music and their personal lives, this was shown by separate presentations. In each presentation every had shown three videos about their life, childhood, travelling and present day. The videos were also shown by a small speech about the videos and what they mean to the person. I had also found out different genres and bands that also associate with me and my personal life.
With the different music tastes I had found out that most of everyones music taste is to do with their childhood and interests in life, an example of this is my childhood song - I had chosen the song because I was influenced by my family!
Other student choices that are related to me
I have chosen John Masters to relate to in this work, I have chosen John because I can relate to his song choices. His choices for the songs are also related to me with their genre and song.
Sum 41
The Offspring
Metallica
Each one of the bands above I have an interest in with their songs, band and the overall genre.

Lip syncing task
This morning I had performed the 'lip syncing task', in the task I had to lip sync a song from the band 'Foo Fighters'. The song that I had lip synced with three others was Learn to fly, I had found this task challenging at the time. The reason why was because one member in my group was also dancing with the song, this was distracting and also humorous. The main part of this task was to lip sync the lyrics to the song whilst being recorded. There was also pressure from being filmed, any mistake is recorded.
Overall this task was difficult due to my first experience of doing a lip sync task, when doing future tasks around lip syncing I will be more confident and will have more experience in doing lip syncing tasks.

Definition of homework
Simulation - Simulations generally come in three styles: live, virtual and constructive. A simulation also may be a combination of two or more styles.
Simulacra - Something that replaces reality with its representation. Jean Baudrillard in "The Precession of Simulacra"
Hyper reality -hyperreality is generally defined as a condition in which what is real and what is fiction are blended together so that there is no clear distinction between where one ends and the other begins.
