Second Meeting

For our second meeting we re-gathered our ideas and songs, from here we each decided on a few songs each to go away and watch the video's and review some, this will possibly create ideas for our video or show things to steer away from.

First meeting.

Our initial meeting we each put across our first ideas and thoughts on where to go with this task. We began by researching into existing music and music videos for inspiration and ideas. Each of began searched and found song's that they would like to and feel like we could create a video for. After finding a song we wrote down the track name and artist. after choosing 4 or 5 songs each we came back together again to exchange our ideas. With a list of roughly 15 songs, we began to sort through them. While Jake and I were chatting over our ideas Tom and Alex discovered a certain singer/ song writer, named Frank Turner. Many ideas came from this artists songs and lyrics, we then decided to research thoroughly into this artist plus many similar artists. Meanwhile Jake and I continued to exchange ideas for other songs we could use.

From this we narrowed down our choices but also create more in the process.

We then left ourselves with the ideas to discuss in the next meeting.

Creating our group and initial decisions

For our media studies coursework we were first given the task of deciding weather to create a music video, movie trailer, a computer game or a radio podcast. Firstly, we made a group consisting of myself, Tom Foreman, Alex Wood and Jake Clements. As a group we decided to produce a music video.

This will challenge our skills not only to film and edit but also to use photoshop as will also create a album cover or digipack, and a magazine advert to go along side the video we will make.
