Don Diablo- Silence ft. Dave Thomas JR.




Martin Garix ft. David Guetta- Kosta















Kungs vs Cookin- This girl 



Flume- Never be like you

 As an introduction to the new unit of Music videos we have looked at a number of music videos as example of the different categories of music videos. Focusing on three specific categories being Conceptual, narrative and Performance. The first video being 'Pillow Talk' by Zayn Malik as an example of a Performance video, 'Paradise' by Coldplay as and example of conceptual and lastly 'Thinking of You' by Katy Perry' as an example of a narrative video. In this emaze, I have briefly explained the basic conventions of each category as well as including a short conclusion of the
history of music videos.

Research: Task 3- Importance of Digipacks, CD Adverts and Artist's website



In this task I have researched what a Digipaks, Artist's website and album advert is and why they are important. Doing this task has provided me with great knowledge of why these should be done an how they aid the success of the piece. By researching what should be included on the Digipak, I am no aware of what information I need to include on my Digipak in order to ensure that it looks as real as possible. Iv'e had a look at a variety of different Digipaks and how they are designed. Researching into album advert/cd adverts has informed me of what is included on the advert and how they are laid out.

Researc: Task 1- Introduction Post

This is the online Blog which I will be using to show the process of my research and planning, production and Evaluation. This blog will act as a detailed follow up to my production work, the brief I was set is to recreate a music video along with two other members of my class, in addition to designing and creating a digipack and an advert of it which will be done individually. I will be researching deeply into the music video industry, in order to find out what the codes and conventions are and to complete my coursework to the best of my ability.

I have studied media for a number of years now, completing GCSE Media Studies and my AS. During my years of study I have gained many creative skills, and the knowledge of how to use various programmes such as Photoshop and Final cut. I expect this year to be challenging however very toughtful  and interesting as I have never done anything such as putting together a treatment and creating a digipack.

Question 2 - Evaluation
