Introduction

For my 2009-2010 media coursework i had several briefs to choose from which included creating a game level, a movie trailer or a music video. The brief i chose was "a promotion package for the release of an album, to include a music promo video, together with two of the following three options:
a website homepage for the band;
a cover for its release as part of the digipak (CD/DVD package);
a magazine advertisement for the digipak (CD/DVD package)."
I also had the option of working in a group with three other people. My other group members are Jacob Peeling, Tom Foreman and Alex Wood. In our first meeting we discussed a shortlist of several songs which will be presented in my next post. We then watched several music videos to see if they could inspire ideas into us and see how the music video would represent the song and the genre of the song. We looked closely at how the artist or actor was represented by the music and how they use the music in there own performance. After watching several music videos we then met as a group for the first time and discussed our first ideas of what genre we should choose and gave reasons to back our ideas. We then compiled a song list of potential songs we could use and wrote them down, this shortlist will be posted on my next blog.
