Research for Music Video: Skills audit

During AS Media, we had to research genres and the conventions and representations shown in teen film openings. This was mostly through watching film openings and recreating one - "The Breakfast Club". Then we had to come up with our own idea of a teen film opening and plan, film and edit it. We also had to advertise our film opening, and used social media to do this. We will be using social media again this year to promote our music video.

My skills in research have grown especially as in the A2 year we are making three products instead of one which means more research across all areas in more depth. Our first piece of research has been music videos, researching music videos has involved looking at the first music video, existing music videos, theorists such as Andrew Goodwin and Carol Vernallis and many pre production techniques.
