Initial Ideas

Part of the A2 Media Studies course, one has to be produce a successfully packed portfolio, including a main artifact, consisting of a music video and also producing ancillary products, such as creating a CD Digipak and a website homepage for my artist or artists. Therefore, I am starting my considering ideas and songs for my music video.

From previously completing an opening sequence for a thriller in my AS course, I am feeling more confident and brave about my music video. During the making of the thriller, I learnt many new, interesting and crucial aspects to creating a product. For instance, I quickly learnt when producing initial ideas, the ideas are usually not immediately successful and therefore are not used as no one gets it perfect first time, however, they will hopefully be positively developed into better concepts. I am aware I have to start somewhere and make that prominent leap into my music video journey, so I have decided I will convert possible ideas and images, which I have in mind into clear and constructive blog posts. I also understand the golden rules, to not use UK top 10 hits and no relationship break-up narratives as I want my work to be unique and thoroughly explored instead of using common aspects, I also recognise not to include songs about extreme social issues as it is too close to the mark and I am too young to deal with these sensitive topics.
