Task three - Mind Mapping

Music video 1 = Jana Kramer , Won't give up .  This music video focuses around a young couple and how their relationship has broken down but the girl wont give up on it. The music video starts with an argument, the door bangs shut and the music begins and the lights change from light to dark as she walks through the streets singing showing time passing . This footage flicks between happier footage of the couple in the past . As she returns home the phone rings and the door knocks and he has come back to her .


Music video 2 = Nicki Minaj, Marilyn Monre, This music video looks at different types of girls and how when they are classed as different no one wants them as friends but when they are seen as cool and credible they do not want to be associated with them people in the end . The music video focuses predominately on a geeky girl and her story of being shunned by a boy when she was in her high school and now she is older and this boy wants he but now  she does not want anything to do with him as he did not except her originally . focuses on her looking back on past and now the present.

Music video 3 = The pretty reckless (You make me wanna die) This idea deals with the idea of schizophrenia and how the sufferer is constantly being possessed by another character and made to do bad things . the storyline will follow a girl who is good at heart but her other character makes her do bad things such as murder .  The music video ends with her stabbing her alter ego however in retrospect she has killed herself and is left to die.


Documentary 1 = Made in Tamworth . A documentary looking into the day to day lives of the young people living in Tamworth,  it is based on programs such as Made in Chelsea and the Only way is Essex and looks at the drama of a small group over a period of time . Almost like a soap.


Documentary 2 = 2.4 children, looks into the idea of is really two kids the ideal. It includes interviews with families of all kinds but predominately looking at one family containing four grown up kids and the journey they have had. Also contains fly on the wall footage.The core idea focusing on how life has changed over the years and what now is seen as the norm as family size has decreased.
