WELCOME MODERATOR

Welcome moderator to my A2 Media Production blog. Below you can view my three final products, the music video, the Digi-pack and the magazine advert.

The blog itself will demonstrate the process of planning and developing these products. My evaluation questions can be found in the pages at the top of the blog.

Brief: To create a promotional music video with accompanying ancillary products

FINAL: MUSIC VIDEO

CONSTRUCTION: FINAL DIGIPAK DESIGN

CONSTRUCTION: FINAL MAGAZINE ADVERT

Here is our magazine advert. We decided to follow our chosen convention and design it with a powder paint theme. We wanted to feature the main character in it in order to familiarise the audience with her before they saw the music video.

CONSTRUCTION: CONSTRUCTION OF DIGIPACK

 I have used Trello, which is a online digital 'To Do List' programme. I have written down what needs to be completed by the end of the week and 'ticked' it off my list once completed. This has helped me with my organisational and time management skills.

CONSTRUCTION: FIRE SCENE

 We organised a real burning bonfire today. We decided to place 'Miley' behind the fire in order to capture a stronger image of the burning flames. The fire is used to represent a sense of destruction. It also symbolises her mental state which is filled with passion, anger, and power.

Once the fire died down we captured many good shots of the smoke drifting around her. This is used to contrast the previous scene which was filled with feelings of intensity and anger. Miley is now surrounded by mountains of smoke which creates an almost serene like image. This represents the 'free-spirited' Miley we occasionally see throughout the video.

CONSTRUCTION: PLAYGROUND SCENE

Today we completed the playground scene. In this scene we plan to have shot-reverse shots of the couple staring into each others 'eyes' ( camera), whilst on a roundabout swing. The camera focusses on the individual yet follows the circular motion of the roundabout swing. This is a high angle shot, where both individuals are looking up into the camera lens to create a more interesting shot.

CONSTRUCTION: POWDER PAINT

Today we filmed the chorus for our music video. In this scene we see Miley full of emotion and passion   over the break up. This scene is in contrast with the controlled, tammed Miley we see in the previous scenes. We wanted to portray Miley as a 'free spirit' which is connoted through the colourful powder paints in the shot.

We plan to use the shots of the drums as cutaway shots between performance-based shots.
