Brief and Initial Response

G324 Advanced Portfolio in Media

A promotion package for the release of an album, to include a music promo video, together with two ancillary tasks: digipak for the album's release  & a magazine advertisement for the digipak.

Initial Ideas

My initial idea for this task is to join Ellie and work as a pair. We have been looking into contacting local bands and singers to feature in our video. We have recently contacted two bands, 'The Sherlocks' from Barnsley and 'Raw Kadence' from Barnetby, we are awaiting replies from both. Ellie has seen The Sherlocks several times live and I have seen Raw Kadence, both have good stage presence and would suit the genres that we think we are going to use, Pop, Acoustic and Alternative. As well as these two bands, we have also looked a solo artists such as Jay Tyrer. The music video would not only benefit us because the artist/s could use it to promote themselves if they wanted to. We would not need copyright because the artists we have in mind all are singer-songwriters unless we decide that they will perform a cover instead of an original.

Music Genre

Although we haven't decided fully on what genre the music video would be, we think we are going to use Pop and Alternative. The artists that we have in mind would fit this genre. 

Creativity



I will build on my skills from AS by using new programmes such as Final Cut Pro X. In this programme I will learn how to upload videos and edit them professionally, along with adding in effects and transitions. 

Influences
Right now I don't really have any influences but Im sure as I research more into music videos and progress my knowledge I will.
