Welcome to A2 Media!
It's great to see your prelims are well under way. Remember to upload all storyboards, behind-the-scenes photos and any still shots of you editing.
Your prelim DEADLINE is Wednesday 15th July - be ready to share with the class!
You also have an on-going genre research project. Details outlined below.
1. Decide which genre you’re going to produce a
music video for and upload 3 (minimum) music videos within your genre
under
a ‘research and planning’ label
2.
Conduct some
research about your artists:
a)Which
record label does the artist/
band
belong to? Is it
an independent or major label?
b)What
was the name of their last album?
c)Do
you think they are designed to have mass appeal (are they pop) or more elite,
underground fans?
3. Create a
montage
of images
for genre conventions. Upload pics of hand drawn spider diagrams or prezis for artists in your chosen genre. Comment
on how they
represent themselves and how this may appeal to their target audience.
Ideas to include:
o Typically
narrative
or performance videos?
o Mise-en-scene:
iconography, props, costume style, high or low key lighting, locations: urban
or rural, set design, colour pallet?
o Cinematography:
close up shots or wide shots, special effects
o Message
of video, generic types: archetypal gender roles etc.
