Colour in my work

Colour plays a huge part in my work, and I feel that it is something significant which can be spoke about. As I have used red, this connotes several different things. For example, love and romance, but also danger and anger. I feel that using this within my work offered the idea that my character is angry that she was jilted at the alter but also that the running theme throughout is love and romance. I have also used red in the music video in parts where the forest is shown. This could represent that there is a fire in the forest; signifying that her anger is being shown through colour. I thought that I had to keep this theme running through my work, as it would build an identity for my band but also my character.

Saint Rue's website

I decided to create a website for my band, as I felt that this would give my band a unique identity. I researched into band websites, and found that they have certain elements such as tour, about etc, so decided to include this within my website. Nearly all bands have a form of website, so I wanted to make sure that my band would be recognised and therefore have an identity. I also decided to stick with the theme of red and roses, as this relates to the other texts I have created.

what have you learned from your audience feedback? by Jess C



I additionally asked a few people to watch my music video in a "vlog" or "voxpop" type way so that they could explain what they liked about my video and the things I could've done to improve it. I felt that this was important and was something that would help me to see the things I have done well and things that could be better.

Great Expectations - Intertextuality

The book Great Expectations by Charles Dickens features a character (Miss Havisham) who was jilted at the alter, and believes in wearing her wedding dress for the rest of her life. She wore a white dress with a veil which represented her wedding day. This idea was suggested by my focus group when they were shown my music video. I felt that this related to my music video, as the overall theme of it was that my character had either escaped a wedding or was jilted. I thought that this was a concept of a pastiche idea; my music video imitates the style of another thing such as a book, film etc.
I thought that this was an interesting intertextuality point, along with the Mona Lisa, as it would show that I have tried to convey the overall message of my video correctly.
