Textual Analysis;

Me and Mikey have decided to shoot the video of the chosen sub-genre death metal. In order for us to achieve the codes and conventions that are within death metal we have put some research into this. We were going to use a narrative theme, but seen as this is a little too ambitious with deadlines to meet we have decided to focus our main attention on making a high replica of a metal music video.

For our ancillary task, we have decided to go for a death/heavy metal CD cover and DVD cover. Below is an image of the band Decpitated's Nihility album. We are going to use something along the lines of this as we feel that it's the most suitable to what sort of cover we would like to have.



In order for us to achieve in making a successful music video, we have decided to incorporate close up shots of the band performing, cut these and blend them in the video together. We feel this would make the video look professional, and mediated in the sense that it works well as meeting the conventions of a music video, especially that of a metal video.
