We were given the task to create a one minute music video of original footage. We were put into groups and given a choice of a number of songs to choose from. We had to either do a music video in one take or one in the style of director Wes Anderson. We chose to do a one take music video to She's So Lovely- Scouting For Girls We did some research into one take music videos. OK Go are a band who are known famously for their one take music videos. We watched a number if their music videos looking for inspiration for ideas and the motivation they have to get everything absolutely perfect in one take. Some of the OK go videos we looked at are: OK Go- This Too Shall Pass OK Go- Here it Goes Again OK Go- Needing/Getting We looked at the determination involved in getting everything right and watched behind the scenes videos to see how many times it went wrong etc and how many takes they had to do to get it perfect. For our own video ...

This is the plan we have done so we can present our coursework idea 'dragons den' style.

This is a photo of the album cover we have been given. We have been given the task to recreate this photo with someone we know. Our plan is to use Rebecca Bennet, we will use as much of the same props as used in this original photo. As a group we are going to gather together as many of the props that we have between us and but the rest. We will tie Rebecca's hair up to give the impression that the side of her hair is shaved. We will do her makeup and attempt to make it as similar to Rhianna's as we can. She will wear a black T-shirt and a similar bracelet to the one in the original photo.      These photos are from during the process of taking the photos for the album and the beginning of the process of editing them. The first two are when we were doing her makeup and trying to make it look as similar as we could to the real photo of Rhianna. The third photo is of the beginning of the editing process when we turned the photo to black and white. T...

What makes a film poster/music album cover stand out from others? In what ways can you think of film posters/music album covers linking to the film plot/music video/song themselves? How much of a marketing tool do you consider a film poster and album cover to be? As a consumer, what hints/tips can you give us in regard to making our own posters and/or album covers?

We were given a task in groups of 2/3 to create a film poster in response to a ready made one from a previous film. Our poster was Rocky V: (this is the original) The one we made: We took some photos of Luke in the same position as the man in the Rocky V poster. We took a wide range and then selected the 2 most similar ones to the poster that we were given. We then moved them over to Photoshop and layered the two images over the top of an American flag, which was as similar to the original poster as possible. We then cut around the full body image, in order to get rid of the background of that photo in order to place it on top of the American Flag. Then we added the close up image of Luke behind the full body image. we put it all together, and in the end became a successful poster.

We (Paula, Jess & Evie) decided to work as a group on the initial ideas we collected for our practice task which we have explained and written down in (Post 1) Our practice task explained
