Minutes 03/11/2010

Today we finalised our storyline for our A2 media coursework – a music video.


  • We were first briefed by Mr Beeston about ways in which we could improve our year 12 coursework in both the planning and analysis. This inspired us to plan much better and in more depth than we did last year to ensure that this years coursework is flawless.

  • Following Mr Beeston’s brief we got into our group, consisting of Alan, Alex, Josh and myself, and began to confirm our storyline. We already had a rough outline of what is going to happen due to my power point presentation from last week we just needed to get it down in detail.

  • Josh printed out a copy of the lyrics to help us tie in the storyline with the words being sung, this will help us create a better music video and make it more meaningful. We wanted to make scenes link to lyrics but realised that they didn’t need to for every line as that would be too complex and limit our creativity.

  • After coming back from our mid-lesson break we split up the group to enable us to maximise our work. Myself, Josh and Alex continued to finalise the storyline and note down key details, shots, setting and mis-en-scene. Alan decided to do some research into setting, costumes and instruments to use for shots of the band. Alan doing this research will allow us to gain more ideas for the video and broaden our knowledge in the world of music videos.

  • At the end of the lesson the final storyline was nearly complete and Alan had done some good research into our target audience, looking at age groups and ways in which we could appeal to them.

Our tasks for next week are to finish the storyline, start to look at our settings and ask people to take part in the video.
