NOTE: Some A2 Advanced Media Studies blogs may have been archived, such as this one here:
For starters, this last A2 Media Coursework website ceases to work and instead directs you to this link:
These links don't even work, they require "permission" to gain access to the websites. Somehow, they kick you out of access:
MAIN ARTICLE: Lara Anisere's A2 Media Studies wixsite:
House Party Massacre: a catchy band name for an original punk rock/thrash metal band.
I particularly like this website and its content because it is a very unique way of presenting the Media Studies portfolio instead of just using Blogger to create another website which would be repetitive for a those wishing to advance through A-level Media Studies with an A or above.
The background for the website is particularly typical for a hardcore punk/thrash metal band like House Party Massacre - the grey splatters suit the conventions well. Also the band name is plastered on the top of the website just so audiences can easily recognise who they are - in addition to the masterfully photographed band image. The choice of font for the digipak cover and tracklisting evokes a hellish vibe, which establishes the band's genre to audiences.
"Act Like an Angel" music video
Let's make this clear. The "Act Like an Angel" music video depicts a gang of youths raiding a business blocks, each member breaking into individual rooms and flipping props such as a caution sign and classroom tables. This projects the genre of rebellion against society - a theme common to videos associated with punk rock bands. The band performance is impressive but a bit more bravado is required to propel HPM's standards higher to win appeal from their target audience. I like how the entire video was shot in black and white to invoke a retrospective point-of-view.
