Case studies pitch & Feedback (CD production ideas)

During this lesson, we pitched the ideas for our CD production, and magazine advert to our class. We had used the research of our case studies, to help us to produce mock ups initial ideas for our production for what we would use and how it relates to the nature of our chosen song . Our pitch included discussing how we would utilise images we had from our photography shoots. Text used and its placement, combination of image and text, promotional methods used, and how you can use / subvert these in your own CD digipack and magazine advert were amongst the things mentioned in our pitch, along with with house styles etc. We created one pitch as a group for our general ideas as a whole, but each had our own individual ideas of what we would create in our production from what we had already.

"J Cole - Love Yourz" A2 Media production

This is the finished product of our music video production which is a music video to the song "Love Yourz" by J Cole, which we had spent time editing in FinalCutPro during lessons, and also in our own time in order to finish and submit our final piece.

Draft music video production feedback

During our esson, we briefly pitched a draft of our music video production to our class, in order to receive feedback as to what they liked, and how we could go about improving our music video. They mentioned some aspects which they thought were good ideas that should remain in our production, and also some which we should get rid of or replace with other ideas all together.



Ultimately we would benefit from the feedback we received as we could now use these set targets as a base, in the continuation of our editing, aiming to achieve these targets (demands of our target audience) in our production

Day 4 filming (Brick Lane)

During this day, we had filmed for part of our music video, at Brick lane, one of our proposed locations. We had found a spot where we would have a good visual for our background, and also one which was  not too crowded with people that could interrupt our shooting for the video

Day 3 filming (Photography studio)

During this lesson in the build up of our media production, we had used the college photography studio to shoot some of our  shots for our music video. his would be for part of our video, where our artist is supposed to be shown performing for a music video, within the music video.

Copyright clearance (contacting record labels)

I had contacted the subsidiary record label of the artist who's song I was going to use in my media production. I had emailed them asking for copyright clearance for using their song in my own video. Unfortunately i had not received a response from the record label after what was almost a week, so i continued to go ahead with using the track, in my own production.
