Beth Allen Advanced A2 Portfolio

In today's lesson we looked at some previous music video's that had been created by media students and we acted as the examiner so we gt a mark scheme and had to mark the video's ourselves and then we found out the true level they got. Some were surprising and some weren't, we found that actually a lot of us were a lot more harsh than the examiner would be!     This A2 Music video production was done to the song 'Chandelier' by Sia. The video got near full marks and was graded A*. Watching the video I can see many techniques that we are looking at incorporating into our music video such as at the beginning they use a motorway to get images of the cars moving in the dark, we are also going to use this but just speed it up. Many of the techniques such as the reverse that is used at the falling of the wine glass and the smashing make the video tell the story and it is easy to understand what the producer of this video is trying to get across to us as the audi...

we had a practice at some logo's for our artist, we tried a range of them to see what suit's the name and her persona best. we produced these on logojoy, by doing many different designs it gives us a range of choice and so we don't feel stuck to going down one path with how we want to present our star. here are our practice logo's.

For our video we have had to complete a risk assessment form, this is due to the fact we are filming outdoors in locations such as Meadowhall, Hardwick and on a bridge overlooking a dual carriageway. We have had to point out all the potential risks we could face in the form of tick boxes. We had to outline our risk of at which points in the video we are most at risk and also mention the locations of the risks.

We also decided to do a prop list which will help us when it comes to filming so we know what we need. we have delegated specific items to each person so that the responsibility is shared out and we are not just relying on one person. We had a budget and made it quite lenient to what we were willing to put in, we made the budget £25 and managed to spend under that with the end total being £14 which was a bonus for all of us.   

Andrew Goodwin came up with a theory about how music videos have relationships with the lyrics and how in some videos the relationship is to make the song mean something and make sense and another way the video and lyrics couldn't match and this may be for another reason.  match I decided to use relevant examples within the Prezi to help connote the true message across to the audience.   

We designed a tour poster to go on our website once its finished to help make the website look more authentic. We chose quite a relaxed and calm shot for the background so the audience's main focus are the tour dates and they stand out the most. By looking at other tour posters we saw that mostly the name of the tour was featured and all the dates along with the names of the arena's. We noticed how the artist or bands name is always the biggest lettering so that it catches the eye of the fans. One interesting point to make is that on the Beatles poster and the bastille poster the name of the show is also a huge feature, but on the Liam Gallagher and the Zara Larsson poster it isn't a main point that is eye catching, this may be the fact that they are both solo singers and the main eye catching feature for them is there name that is what people will recognise them as, as for the big groups they may be recognised by both so they don't have to have just one ey...

last year when we were producing our Thriller openings, we learnt about regulations put in by the BBFC. so I thought I'd look at the regulations for music video's .
