Production Diary #2
Throughout this week I started to complete the research portion of my coursework, starting with the task where I had to research into existing music labels. This was quite an interesting task to complete as prior to this I had not realised that there was one large conglomerate which had many subsidaries which made up that company. For example, the Universal Music Group is a media conglomerate which owns smaller, well known subsidaries such as The Island Def Jam and Capital Records. Even though I have come up with some good locations for my music video, I have not decided on a certain song yet so have decided that it would be best to stay away from the planning tasks until I feel a bit more confident with my decision. At the moment, I am currently researching into the history of music videos and hopefully that will give me a good insight into what my music video should be like and give me a few more ideas.
By the lesson on Tuesday I hope to get the post on the history of music videos uploaded on to my blog and to have started looking into the conventions of a music video. From looking at the various research tasks that have been set, I believe that this will help with the decisions I need to make to create my music video.
Skills Audit:
When considering what skills I can utilise in this project there are a few such as being dedicated to my work and working hard. I have also found that through subjects at GCSE such as ICT and Media, and also through completing my coursework at AS, I've been able to develop on skills such as creativity in order to boost my grade through the use of various software's such as InDesign and multiple hardware's such as the Canon 550d camera that I used to take the photos for my media coursework in both Years 11 and 12.
I am hoping that as for many years I have taken to watching various music videos that have been produced by different artists who perform different genres of music, I will have the ability to come up with some good and creative ideas that will benefit my coursework.
I have always been a very organised person and I am very good with managing my time and tasks efficiently this was shown through meeting various deadlines over the period of creating my AS coursework and through meeting simple tasks set for homework throughout my school career. It has also always been very important to me that the work that I produce is always to its highest standard, meaning that if there is something that I believe is not up to the standard that I hope for, I am happy to receive criticism from others which will help me make the necessary improvements.
