First Things First

As a group, our next target is to decide and ask an artist who we will be making a music video for. We will then interview them to get initial ideas for the video.

We then need to decide what other pieces of media we are going to produce in conjunction with the music video for the subsidiary tasks.

We will be working together on this task so do not have specific duties.

Brief

We have come to the decision that for our A2 Media Studies coursework we are going to produce a music video. We chose this as we feel as a group, we have the strengths and qualities needed; we all have a keen interest in music and I personally have been involved in creating a music video previously.

I will be working with Laura Burroughs and Charlie Stokes on this project. I think we will work successfully as we all bring individual strengths but also work well as a team.

We have decided to use an original artist rather than a established, signed artist as it will give us more freedom to do what we want, as there won't be any preconceived ideas as to what their video would or should be like. Also we will have the advantage of working closely with the artist, meaning we can make a video suitable for them.

We are undecided on what other aspects of music promotion we are going to use, but by researching the options available, we will come to a better, more informed decision.

OCR Specification

Below is a link to the A2 Media studies specification for OCR, which is the course we are doing. I thought it would be a good idea to have quick and easy access to the site, as it would benefit us because we can easily check to see whether we are following what the specification states and hopefully fulfill the criteria.
