Responding to the Brief.

The A2 course

G324 Advanced portfolio in Media Brief 1

A promotion package for the release of an album, to include a music promo video, together with two ancillary tasks: a digipak for the album's release and a magazine advertisement for the digipak.

Initial ideas
My initial ideas are to work in a pair with Becka. We were looking to contact local singers or a band to feature in our music video. We thought of a band from Barnsley called 'The Sherlocks' and are yet waiting for a reply. We thought this would be a great opportunity for them to promote themselves as a band. I have seen them live several times so if we to film them we would prefer them to sing live rather than mime and then act the track after in the editing of the video. We have also looked at various artist such as Jay Tyrer, who I have also seen live. Both artists have brilliant stage presence and would be perfect for filming. Both are also singer-songwriters so therefore we would not need copyright.

Genre
As too yet we haven't decided on a genre as we are not 100% decided on the artist or song. However we would both prefer to do pop/alternative as that is what we're both interested in.

Creativity - How will you build on skills from AS?
I will build on skills by using new programs such as Final Pro Cut X. I will learn how to edit a music video using this software.

Influences
I haven't really got any influences as too yet.
