What is ONE WAY you could improve your deconstruction? |
PRACTICAL TASK
In groups of 3-4, you are going to create a storyboard for 30 seconds of the music video parody: “Dukhan State of Mind”.
Parodies only work if they mimic the conventions they are mocking.
Watch this parody and note similarities with Empire State of Mind that will be helpful in your storyboard.
1) Choose a 30-second section of the video to parody
2) Watch both videos and note down what you need to include from the four key areas: camera shots/angles/movement, sound, editing and mise-en-scene
3) Use the same elements to storyboard a parody: Dukhan State of Mind
STORYBOARDS
For each shot in your storyboard, you must include information about the camera shots, angles and length of each shot.
Here are some examples from Star Wars and Jurassic Park.

Learning Objective:
to storyboard a parody
Success Criteria:
- analyse stills from two videos to identify common elements of mise-en-scene (AO2)- show how meaning is created by storyboarding a parody (AO3)
Complete the analysis of these sets of three stills, taken from the beginning, middle and end of each of the videos.
Make sure you include these details in your parody. If you do not mimic these, it will not be an effective parody.
