Area of Focus

As a group we needed to grasp idea to come up with a song choice for a music video. In order to choose a song we created a spider diagram of different songs and genres, these were songs that we liked and would like to create a video for. Below you can see the spider diagram that we created:

Presenting our Pitch

We pitched our music video idea to our media teachers and peers. We presented them with some information, research, ancillary sketches, and storyboards to look over and give feedback on our proposed ideas. This process helped us as a group to think through ideas in more thorough detail. Our media teachers then pointed we hadn't prepared enough detailed sketches and storyboards than required for the task.

From this point, we have decided to further develop our music narrative which will run throughout the video in order to create a clear and consistent story our target audience will be able to relate too.

Here is the pitch that we presented to our two media teachers:

Preparation for the Pitch

Our group has started to prepare for our pitches which are next week. Our pitches have to include the following:

• Preliminary research into the genre and type of project chosen.
• Identification of the target audience.
• Storyboard ideas.
• Location ideas with scouting images.
• Casting.
• Mood boards.
• Ancillary tasks for each candidate.
• Production schedule.
• Allocation of roles.

Introduction to advanced portfolio

The brief that we have been given for the advanced portfolio is to work as a team to create a music video or film trailer. Within the task we will also create ancillary tasks that will include a promotional package of a website homepage for the band, a digi pack and/or magazine advert.

In my group of two other people we have decided to create a music video and this is the song we have chosen to use: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPEBN2dVNUY&safe=active. For my ancillary tasks I will be designing a digi pack and a magazine advert for my band.
