Post 1: Welcome to A2

• Firstly you must write down a 1000 word review of the work you have completed in AS and how you think you have developed and progressed with media knowledge, understanding and progress with technology – software, cameras, green screen etc. Photoshop, InDesign.

Trips and visits - Media City stills and what you thought - has it inspired you?

You can use images and your blog link from last year to show and evidence what you have achieved.

How you want to develop on A2 and what your intentions are.

Post 2: Intertextuality in Music Videos

You are to choose FIVE of your own videos that you really like and add web links and stills for the videos. 

Use screen shots to further analyse mis-en-scene. Critically analyse constantly.

Insight into style, techniques used, genre, lighting, director, year produced, lyrics and Cost.



Video Analysis of your Five videos need to be posted on your blog.

•    Some of you may use gifs, sections of video to show your meaning, some of you may do voiceovers. (Or use green screen to show you and your video in background - You can also use a plain white, black, blue sheet at home.

You talking, engaging with the audience, interaction - make people want to listen to what you have to say. 

George and Joe think how you can do this as it will strengthen your work.

•    Ensure you do not wear the same colour as the background as you will be a singing head!

Have fun and I look forward to your responses.  Personal is best please chaps.

Post 3:  Five to TWO:  In Depth Video Analysis with storyboards

Taking TWO from your five videos you will now go into further detail of video, shot by shot. Analyse methods, styles, lighting mis en scene in further detail. Create a storyboard for the video.

Discuss camera angles, reasoning behind shots, importance of lighting, location, context of video, era, 70-80-90s etc.

More details = better marks (see mark scheme at beginning of blog).

Look at our drawn map on previous posts for more details

If this is not complete by Friday I will be contacting home and Mr Phipps
