I've already briefed you on this, but here's a breakdown of what we do through to the end of summer term (with more detail on each aspect to follow in separate posts):
BRITNEY VID: Each group is now responsible for doing an initial edit of their footage; sequencing the shots as they appear in the video, + working through any additional footage to use in a blooper reel and for the documentary being produced by 12C. We need to appoint a pair/trio to take responsibility (and credit!) for editing the final video + producing one or more text-led variations. 12C will be focussed on producing their
IFEST: We have been asked to produce media texts documenting the day, so will work on two (if anyone has a particular interest and wants to, you can add to this: radio, newspaper, website etc): a documentary + a blog. We will discuss + negotiate the style of the documentary. Everyone, working in pairs, will pick out at least one aspect of IFEST and produce a short filmed piece, blog article + photos on this. Again, we need to appoint editors.
PRACTICE PITCH: Everyone submits an MP3 of a track, with 2 paragraphs on this on their blog; we'll assign everyone a track randomly (including some I'll throw in, + John's!), and work towards presenting a pitch, following research, on what you'd so for this in terms of producing a music video.
BLOGGING! - This is the start of your A2 work so strive to ensure you are blogging on all this work!
Deadlines/Brief
Music videos are so 80s/90s, right? They belong with the era when MTV screened wall-to-wall vids instead of 'reality' TV? Try telling that to the millions who bought Gangnam Style; were they really simply loving the music? 1.6bn (and still climbing) have viewed the video on YT, not to mention the many re-makes (school eg, eg2), viral ads + celeb link-ups (even political protest in Seoul) - and it doesn't matter how legit it is, this nightmare for daydream Beliebers is making a lot of money, even from the parodies + dislikes. All this for a simple dance track that wouldn't have sounded out of place in 1990 ... but had a fun vid. This meme itself was soon displaced by the Harlem Shake. Music vids even cause diseases it seems!
