The brief i have chosen out of several choices is
Brief 1: A promotion package for the release of an album including
* music promotion video
* cover for its release as part of a digipack (CD/DVD)
* magazine advertisement for the digipack
I couldn't decide between this brief and brief 10, a short film because both are video art with a creative basis which I enjoy and currently learning skills in my other A-level, lens based media.
In the end I decided to do the music promotion package because it's a real interest of mine and I would enjoy it as a job in my future career. a five minute film would allow me to be free thinking and create by own story-line and script but i think it would be better for me to have a better structure to follow.
I regularly look at music videos as a source of my entertainment so already have a good insight as to what an audience expects. in my social time i attend local gigs too so that would be useful for me to source an unsigned band. I'm excited to get this project going and start studying genres and conventions of music videos because I have already started brainstorming many ideas.
I am starting to research 5 media products of my brief that are currently in the charts as well as some of the original works when music videos were first starting to appear.
