Introductory Post

Welcome

Welcome to our A2 media blog which will document our work throughout the making of our music video, from the preliminary task to the final product. Our blog will be used to display posts showing our research and planning which will track our ideas throughout. 

We decided to work on this project collectively as we are all students who have a keen interest in media and enjoyed studying it at AS, where the three of us created individual magazines (consisting of a cover, contents and double page spread).  Having fully applied ourselves to the production of our own independent assignments last year, we were successful in the AS and all achieved A grades for our hard work and effort. Displayed below are the final magazine covers which each of us submitted.

While completing our A level in media, we are also studying other subjects which correspond well with this course, helping us with certain elements of our work. 

Meg: A2 media
A2 English language
A2 textiles  

Jess: A2 media
A2 English language
A2 textiles

Phoebe: A2 media
A2 English literature
A2 sociology

Although these subjects don't share a direct link to media, we can use skills learnt in them to aid our coursework. For example, textiles knowledge will prove to be beneficial when it comes to the styling of those featured in our music video. Additionally, our group's experience with both English language and literature will help us to be analytical of pre existing music videos and will also be useful when we are evaluating our work nearing the end of the process. 

Despite our groups varying musical interests we all share an appreciation for the Indie Pop/ Synth genre- including artists such as MSMR, AlunaGeorge and CHVRCHES. Consequently, it is highly likely that we will be using this genre for the focus of our work.

We hope you enjoy viewing our blog.
