Peer-Assessment for Manan's Essay:

Good Points: 
  • He uses a range of examples from his music video to back up his points. For instance, when Manan discusses how his artist depicted the teenage lifestyle he refers to how they filmed a scene to match the lyric "when I walk into college with my headphones on" by then explaining that their audience then sees Josh wearing his headphones before walking into college. 
  • He also refers to theorist Andrew Goodwin explaining how he followed his theory when creating their music video.
  • He clearly explains how his genre fits in with his target audience and discusses the routes they took into researching and exploring what sort of genre of music the age range they were interested in currently listen to in today's day in age. 
  • Another great thing that Manan does, is that he mentions that although factors of his music video do often portray a negative image on the artist he immediately backs this up by stating that the artist is a 17 year old merely highlighting the sorts of activities and partying antics that 17 year olds tend to do today. If anything the artist is clearly portraying 17 year olds in a realistic light. 
Improvements:
  • Perhaps Manan could include a few more theorists or add some quotes from theorists who have discussed how genre is an important factor in music videos just to create a stronger answer for his essay. 
  • Perhaps he could also add a few more examples from his own music video and a few more examples from real media texts that they looked at for inspiration. 
All in all, Manan has created a successful answer for his essay and by taking into consideration the improvements I have stated he would have created an every stronger, top band answer for himself. :)
