Welcome To My Blog

WELCOME 

Welcome to my A2 Media Studies Blog, where I will be posting all of this years work for my A level in Media Studies. We chose our groups for the year and one of our first tasks was to take a group photo - so here it is. I'm really looking forward to working with these ladies beacuse i know we all bring different skills and talents to the team, from organisation to camera work. 

Below, from Left to Right: Tazmin Lucas, Lily Ray (me), Daisy Gilbert, and Amelia Gilbert.

EDITING Our editing style, we know already, we plan to be slow and not heavily edited in port-production with long takes that can really take in the story, to fit the more sombre tone of the song, rather than be heavily edited with lots of cuts that can come out as jumpy and fast. We also want to focus on the sisters, so the cameras will often be rolling for a longer time on the sisters and their movement and not just just on and off for certain shots that are pieced together later to make the story.

Here were their responses:  - woman (purple pen) - boys (black pen) - A video we created taking some more answers: What have I learnt from my audience feedback?

Post 6: Key Music Videos Timeline

POST 6: PRACTICE TASK - KEY MUSIC VIDEOS TIMELINE    This research is to discover the key turning points in music videos in the last century leading up until now. Before we started, the only inclination we had was that Michael Jackson's Thriller music video was important and was a major turning point with creating a storyline with the music video so it was interesting for all of us to see where it originally came from and who influenced the creation of music videos all of the world.  Our online presentation for the Key Music Video Timeline can be found: HERE.
