Introduction

In year 12 we looked at print for our media coursework and produced music magazines. This year we are focusing on film - with particular attention to music videos. We decided to choose this brief from a possible 8 because we feel it can exhibit our skills in a different light. Our portfolio will consist of a music video, a cover for its release and a magazine advertisement on the new song ( as well as planning and evaluating).

This year we have decided to work in a group of 3 so that collaboratively we can combine our skills and talents to produce the best final product possible. By working in a group, we can also gain the most from lessons and assign each other different tasks to ensure that the production is efficient and successful.

As stated earlier we will be producing a music video. In order to break the mould and generic conventions of music videos in modern society - we are going to focus on basing our music video on animation and still imagery. We feel that working on a topic that we don't have much experience on will expand our knowledge on a different platform of media.

As Jamie does Graphic Design he has experience in editing and can use these skills to take full advantage of the software available to us. Frankie has just completed an AS course in photography in which she has gained skills on lighting for photography sets and how to create still imagery using creative ideas which is effective for any project she is given. Michael specialises in sound and editing having taken part in a twelve week course at Kingston University in the summer.

Collectively we can bring these skills together to produce the best final portfolio possible.
