The Brit Awards (Music Award Shows)

The BRIT AWARDS 2007 took place on Wednesday 14th February 2007, Valentines Day.. hence the choice of set...







Consider: the use of mise-en-scene, the choice of host- what does Russell Brand represent ? the way that the sponsor draws upon popular youth culture to sell its product and the conventions of award acceptance represented by Take That contrasted with that of the Arctic Monkeys. Can a programme like this negotiate the tensions between corporate image and the rebellious tendency of rock music ?
