This photo was taken of me (left), Sophie Harten and Maxwell Mbofana it shows us doing the research for our task once we had finalised that we were going to do the music video. We were looking into what songs we could use as you are only able to use songs which are either over 10 years old or wasnt released as a single, personally i found this challenging as there are so many to choose from, when thinking of which song to choose you have to think of how you could do your task around it, you need to be able to think of suitable video ideas you can use to go with this so it avoids the situation of having a good song and a bad video as it is the video thay you are going to be getting marked for. The sheet of paper you can see with Maxwell (right) is the checklist that we were given by our teacher, this was to show us everything that what we need to have completed by the end of the year. By November 30th the video needs to be completed, December 7th the ancillary tasks needs to be finished and by December 14th everything & the evaluation needs to be completed.

We have chosen to complete the music video task, this involves;

• a promotional package for the release of an album to include a music promo video with;
• a CD pack for the release (cover, back page, inside page, & the spine)
• a promotional web page on the artist

Once we have chosen which song we would like to do, we would then need to start planning, and whilst doing this we would need to take into consideration;

• Planning
• Research
• Digipack
• Poster
• Costume and makeup
• Props
• Lighting
• Time managment
• Space
• Organisation
• Good lipsynching
• Large variety of shots
• Good use of editing
• Good blog.
• A interesting and believable performance.
• A interesting setting.
• Evaluation
