To be succesful this year:

In order to achieve a good grade this year, I will need to include a lot of different tasks which contribute towards the final piece of my coursework. From looking at different blogs, I have realized that I will need to do a lot more research into target audiences this year. I will need to research more into the genre, location shoots, costumes, different types of audience theory, look at different types of short films, teaser trailers or music video in order to gain a variety of information. I will also need to include a lot more anaylsis in my work, and able to explain why the peice meets conventions or why this has been put into place.

Before even begging the peice, they made use of their time and experimented with different camera angles and shots and what could be included in their own video to make it more succesful and gain the best outcome. Instead of stick to just one lot of research, they then went on to do further research allowing more information to be gained and knowing more about their specific audience. Some groups have even created facebook groups in order to gain information more quickly and effectively.

Initial Ideas for music video

I do not know specifically what song I would choose for a music video as of yet, but I would like to centre my music video around a well known pop star, as I am then able to follow the conventions more, and able to identify what I need to do in order to meet the typical conventions of a pop star.


For example, picking a popular pop star such as justin bieber. Through his popular song 'baby'- 2 individuals would be the key icon in this video, showing different stages of how person 1 likes person 2 and see their friendship blossom and grow throughout the video where the finale is reached at the end where their friendship is unravelled to the audience to see just how much their friendship has progressed.


Short Film- A genre which I have in mind is horror. This could be based in a large house, where mysterious things happen, centring different individuals, however I am not sure if I would use narrative in the film, as I wouldn't want to drag it out.
