Diary #3

Today is the last day before the summer holidays, I have a lot of research left to do before I can start the planning and production for my music video coursework, and ordinarily would do it during the summer holiday, however, this summer I will be on a World Challenge expedition to Mozambique and Swaziland for a month obviously making it slightly difficult to log on and do some blog posts. Although, I am hoping that the new interesting and different surroundings that I will be experiencing in Africa may help to inspire me or give me some ideas about what to use in my music video.

Diary #2

As this is the beginning of my A2 coursework project, I decided to start with the research side of the project, which involves me researching in to the history of music videos and all kinds of things relating to music videos such a music channels, music video directors etc. so far I have researched in to the history of music videos and how they began, as well as the music video key concepts and key ideas that are included in music videos. Whilst researching in to the key concepts of music videos, I came across music video theorist Andrew Goodwin whose theory applies widely to lots of modern music videos. I presented my research on the on line presentation software from prezi.com because it is a fun and interactive way to present information.
