The preffered reading of music video was that we wanted it to be entertaining and to make it look like a typical rock video this links to the mckail and karts theory which was identity, because our music video has tried to replicate rock bands and use similar techniques to try and make it as close to existing ones as possible. We achieved this because we used typical rock equipment such as drums set guitar amp and keyboard. the location of our rock video was in a shed which was the most similar location that we could come up with to try and represent a studio, however it is not the best as you can tell it is just a shed. To make the video more rock like we tried to make the performance, aggressive for example when Rhys played the drums we could see his aggression in parts, and the same with Nick when he was playing the guitar their is shots where he look like a real rocker. In the video you can see the aggression which is what we wanted to try and achieve and show to the audience.
The oppositional reading of our media text was shown in the location of the music video, because it did not meet the expectations of a typical rock video because it look like a shed which is what makes it an oppositional reading. The reason it did not fit was because it looked like a summer house and not like a studio which rock bands would typically use for this type of video, so as a result it did not look like a typical rock video. Other counter views that our media text had was the keyboard player which is not a typical rock instrument and did not quite work it is not a major disaster but did not look quite right. The fact that the keyboard player Tom was wearing gloves made it more noticeable.This did not meet the mise en sense that we were after. This did not meet our expectations because we wanted the band to look like a popper rock band and the gloves did not suit.
The negotiated reading of our media text is that the audience may not like the location used as it does not meet the expectations of a typical rock band that we were aiming for foe example Linkin park however there is aspects that make up for that for example the aggression shown especially from Darren in the chorus what ive done, and this was shown by all members which made up for because they looked like a real rock band. The speed of the editing also made it look more like a rock video because the speed of rock video is usually quite fast and we wanted to incorporate this into our video. So overall it has parts which are not typically rock such as the location which was the biggest problem however the actual performance was very rock which is what makes it a negotiated reading because there is a compromise between the location and the performance of the band.

In what ways is inglorious basterds and fight club considered to be post-modern
The ways in Inglorious basterds and fight club are considered to be postmodern are that they are both are not reality which is key issue in most postmodern films and texts is that they have elements of reality but we can see that it is not by what happens, for example in inglorious basterds it is not reality because the way they kill Hitler is over exesadurated and not realistic, compared to Saving Private Ryan is more of a proper war film were as inglorious is comedy war as it funny in parts for example the Hitler part when he says yes yes yes. Fight club is more realistic until the end of the film when we find out that ED Norton had lost his mind and what, then becomes a fantasy and is not realistic.
They are both considered to be postmodern because both films using ideas from other texts which is one of the main postmodern things to do is use other texts use them but in slightly different but as an audience we know where it has come from they both seem to use fairly famous pieces so that as the audience we are more likely to get it for example in fight club when he tells the Chinese man run forest run which is from the film Forest Gump which most people know of.
Other ways in which both films are considered to be post modern is the intertextual references used because through out most of both films they seem to use them for example in inglorious they use the good the bad and the ugly stand of scene when they are in the bar when they have the shoot out, the way they show this is the type of camera work that they use is similar to the spaghetti western stand off because they seems to be three main parties in the bar and each is focused on like in the good the bad and the ugly. An example of fight club when they use a reference to something else is the part when they are on the bus and it has the Calvin Klein advert and it is then linked to Brad Pitt in the way that it looks like him with the body of the person in the advert.
The foot fetish idea when the women in inglorious drinks from her shoe is reference to the director of the film Tarentino who seem to have a foot fetish and seems to include this in almost all his films for example in Kill Bill when Uma Thurman is in the back of a car and there is a shot of her feet and it is made blatantly obvious to us the audience and this is shown in the scene when the women in inglorious drinks from her shoe and as the audience we know why that has been included. Anther reference made in the film is the film with in a film is shown (Nations Pride) the part when it refers to the battleship poetmikin the oddess steps sequence which is referred to twice in Nations pride for example the part when the solider is shot in the eye, and when the pram is moving across which is a very famous intertextual reference which is used in loads of media texts.
The part in inglorious when the camera panes up and we can see that it is a set which tell us that it is just a film from this we then realise that is just a films and not reality even though what the film is based on is reality war basically. The way in inglorious when it begins with once upon a time which tells us that it is fairy tale and not real and also the way the film is split into chapters just like a fairytale story.
In glorious basterds also using elements of Blaxploations which is basically a film genre that is based on black Americans the film references to this by using music from the genre several times and the music through out the film is used in a very postmodern way because the era in which the film does not use music from the that time, it seems to use music from the 1950’s to the 1980’s and mix of styles and genres are used to try and give the film more depth and more exciting. All the tracks used were taken from exciting soundtracks which again links back to using ideas and parts from exciting products, which is what makes the film postmodern.
Fight club is also postmodern because it seems to be realistic in some scene for example the violence that they use seems to be real and the sound effects seem to be as if it was in real life but then it has elements that shows us the audience that is just a film, for example it breaks the forth wall and addresses us the audience which shows that it is a film and not real. The films seems to want us to belief that it is reality but it is also trying to show us how people would like to live their lif in the way everything that happens is ED Norton and does not realise what he is doing it is almost saying that what happens should be a reality, but it turns out it is just a fantasy in his mind which is similar to inglorious basterds because that is also a fantasy. Also the way that the film seems to portray that everything is a copy of a copy of a copy which is said by Ed Norton and this is seen in the film, which links directly to what postmodernism is because it is basically copying something form something else and modifying it slightly to make sense. The part when Ed Norton’s house is like IKEA when everything that he has in house is like IKEA when the camera pans around the room and every thing has price on them, shows it is a fantasy.

Ennio Morricone
Ennio Morricone is an Italian composer and conductor who is considered to be
one of the most prolific and influential film composers of his era.[1][2] Morricone has composed and arranged scores for more than 500 film and TV productions.[3] He is well-known for his long-term collaborations with international acclaimed directors such as Sergio Leone, Brian De Palma, Barry Levinson, and Giuseppe Tornatore.
He wrote the characteristic film scores of Leone's Spaghetti Westerns A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965), The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) and Once Upon a Time in the West (1968). In the 80s, Morricone composed the scores for John Carpenter's horror movie The Thing (1982), Leone's Once Upon a Time in America (1984), Roland Joffé's The Mission (1986), Brian De Palma's The Untouchables (1987) and Giuseppe Tornatore's Cinema Paradiso (1988). His more recent compositions include the scores for Oliver Stone's U Turn (1997), Tornatore's The Legend of 1900 (1998) and Malèna (2000), De Palma's Mission to Mars (2000), Lajos Koltai's Fateless (2005), and Tornatore's Baaria - La porta del vento (2009).
This is clip of some of the work that he has done and as you can see he is conducting the the performance.
Speghetti westerns
Spaghetti western films is a genre of film which primarily produced and directed by Italian and other European production companies between 1960 and 1978. In the 1960s the Spaghetti Western genre grew in popularity. Films, particularly those of the influential Dollars trilogy spawned numerous films of the same ilk and often with similar titles, particularly from the mid to late 1960s and early 1970s.

Blaxploitation
Blaxploitation is a type of film genre that was emerged in the United States circa in 1971 when many exploitation films were made specifically (and perhaps exclusively) for an audience of urban black people; the word itself is a portmanteau of the words "black" and "exploitation," and was coined in the early 1970s by Los Angeles NAACP head (and ex-film publicist) Junius Griffin. Blaxploitation films were the first to feature soundtracks of funk and soul music. These films starred primarily black actors.[1] Variety magazine credited Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song, released in 1971, with the invention of the blaxploitation genre. Others argue that the Hollywood-financed film Shaft, also released in 1971, is closer to being blaxploitation, and thus is more likely to have begun the genre.[2]
It is basically a genre when it has main cast of black people and it deals with black Americans and their lives can be realistic or not but tends to refer to real life events, so a lot of references to real issues in the world.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaxploitation
The common qualities of a blaxplotaion film are as follows
When set in the Northeast or West Coast of the U.S., Blaxploitation films tend to take place in the ghetto, dealing with hit men, drug dealers and pimps.
the genre frequently takes place in an atmosphere of crime and drug-dealing. Ethnic slurs against whites (e.g., "honky"), and negative white characters such as corrupt cops, politicians, prostitutes and gullible gangsters were common. Blaxploitation films set in the South often take place on a plantation, dealing with slavery and miscegenation
This is a list of all the Blaxploitation films in letter order staring from and A and working its way down to Z the link below is to the website on which I found the information as the image only shows A and B

Inglorious basterds reviews
This is a film review website called rotten tomatoes and as you can see the overall rating of the film was 88% which worked out to be 7.7 out of 10 which is a very good review for the film I would rate the film at about 7 out of 10 because I really enjoyed the way Tarrentino made the film funny even thought it was meant to be a war film and it was not what I was expecting which is what made it so good in my opinion, because typical war films you know what to expect for example Saving private Ryan which is still a good film but you know what to expect.
This a link to the website which goes into to detail all about the film and it shows what other peoples opinions are on the film

Pastiche- "An imitation of a renowned artist's work consists of a number of motifs copied from authentic works combined into a new work in such a way as to give the impression of being a newly discovered original by that artist." It is basically something that copies an excising product and adds in new bit but as an audience we can tell where they got the idea from, it is usually a piss take of something else for example Austin powers has elements of James bond.
Hyper-reality - As a relatively new school of painting, hyperrealism is a recognized outgrowth of the school of photorealism. Through convincing photographic imagery, hyperrealist painters routinely create a two-dimensional simulation of a three-dimensional reality: Hyper reality
Taks 1 theorists
Postmodernisim as many therious that try to explain the topic, we have looke into many of theorists , and applied their thersous to excising product such Kick ass and inglorious basterds. The theorists that we have looked at are:
Levi- strauss, saw any text as constructed our of socially recognisable "debris" from other texts He saw that writers construct texts from other text by process of:
- Fiske
- Derida
Levi- strauss, saw any text as constructed our of socially recognisable "debris" from other texts He saw that writers construct texts from other text by process of:
- Addiction
- deletion
- substitution
- transposition
From what he said I think that what he is trying to say is that all texts are ideas from other people but changing bits of other peoples work and modifying them. The way in which they construct texts using the above processes above, so what he is saying is that people add bit to a text and call their own and, they may also delete sections from a text.

Quentin Jerome Tarantino (pronounced /ˌtærənˈtiːnoʊ/; born March 27, 1963) is an American film director, screenwriter, producer, cinematographer and occasional actor. In the early 1990s he began his career as an independent filmmaker whose films used nonlinear storylines and the aestheticization of violence. His films include Reservoir Dogs (1992), Pulp Fiction (1994), Jackie Brown (1997), Kill Bill (2003–2004), Death Proof (2007) and Inglourious Basterds (2009). His films have earned him an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, a BAFTA and a Palme d'Or and he has been nominated for Emmy and Grammy awards.
EARLY LIFE
