Star Image - Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus is one of most talked about and influential artists in the world. She first gained media attention when she became the star of the hit TV show 'Hannah Montana' now people remember her for her controversial change in image and songs.
Songs and Image
After not being in the media spotlight for a while miley shocked the world when she released her new single ' We Cant Stop', this got the whole world talking about her in a split second because everyone knew her as a children's television star and role model and in the song she is singing about taking drugs, sex and partying. Her lyrical themes today are all about sex and relations and taking drugs and alcohol and in past years before her image change her lyrical themes were about childish love stories, were inspirational to children and energetic. So after 'Hannah Montana' finished miley would've discussed her image change with her team and they would've advised her to go ahead with it as it will put her in magazines, online, TV and the more controversial the more people will listen to her songs.
Record Covers
Mileys record covers have transformed from 'sweet innocent girl next door' to 'grown up, rebellious and sexy'. This is because miley has had to appeal to specific audiences, when her covers featured her portraying a sweet girl this is because she had young children admiring her and her character 'Hannah Montana' so in order to keep her fans and her TV show running every cover had to be innocent. When her children's TV programme came to an end she could then be herself or be more 'adult' as she didn't need her young fans, for her type of music she needed to find a much older audience ( 16+0).
Media Coverage
In order for Miley to sell records she needs to keep herself in the media which she hasn't found very hard to do. Miley was all over the magazines and online when she teamed up with music start Robin Thicke to perform at the VMAs where she provocatively dance on him who at the time was married and is a lot older than her this was very smart as she got the whole world talking. Miley also uses twitter (social media) to interact with her 18.5 million followers and promote any music, interviews she has done. At the most recent VMAs she won an award but instead of collecting it herself she got a young man to accept it and in his speech the audience found out that he used to be a homeless man the miley took off the street so again she was talked about all over the world.
When performing miley doesn't hold back she is bold, creative and makes sure the audience goes home remembering it and her music videos are exactly the same, when her video for ' we cant stop' was released it had millions of hits within the first couple of hours as it was interesting and crazy and it currently has around 450 million views.
For Miley to be as big as she is she needs a team around her such as a manager, stylists etc

Rank Order
1 - 13B6
The storyline of the video was very interesting and it kept my eyes on the video, the variety of locations worked very well specifically the dance,club scene and the lip sync was done very well
2 - 13A2
The close up on the mouth immediately attracts the audiences attention, the use of different backgrounds and locations makes the video interesting
3 - 13E4
The storyline was effective as i believed the scenes however it was too slow
4 - 13E6
The lip sync and shots were good but the storyline seemed to drag out and i started to get bored also the location of the two boys singing/rapping was the majority of the time the same which made it uninteresting
5 - 13A3
the editing was very sharp and i liked how they skipped the guy waling at the very beginning however the office scene wasn't very believable as the background is showing
6 - 13E7
the other people in the video weren't doing much and looked uncomfortable,
7 - 13B3
the song was very slow so it easily became boring but i liked the idea of the storyline
8 - 13B4
Again the song was very slow and i got bored very easily, she wasn't doing anything with guitar and the sun was blaring in some shots making it hard to see the girls face
9 - 13B1
the singing wasn't in sync with the song and very boring there was nothing to keep a viewer watching
10 - 13E9
there was clips of a film put in between which i didn't understand and made it look uncreative, lip sync wasn't in time and the locations were the same
11 - 13A1
looked like it could have been filmed on a phone or low quality camera, the camera was shook at times

Review Of AS Film
What Went Well?
I think that in our film sequence the use of the car and the angles we shot the car at went very well as in crime films the criminals always have some means of escape or getaway car so we matched up with codes and conventions of the genre. The variety of shots we used i think made the film much more interesting to the viewer in particular i liked the garage shot where all the burglars are opening the door up.
Even Better If
I think that we could have improved mainly the lighting particularly in the scenes involving the safe and the cars, the lighting in these scenes were darker than we would've liked them to be which meant that we had to try to lightening the scenes up by the computer when the had already been filmed.
