Weekly Target Posts
Week: 1st - 7th September 2014.
In order to progress further into the course, the majority of the workloads set before the holidays - must be completed. This will give both members within the course a clear idea of the type of work ability that each peer can produce. This will mean that there will also be a wide range of knowledge before the course has began, allowing all members of the coursework to progress and achieve the best possible grade that they work for.
With the list of tasks provided both myself and Natalie, will ensure that the workload is divided to ensure that the work is completed to the highest possible standard. Whether this will be a equal split of work, this is still yet to be discussed, although a decision will be based on the workload from other A2 subjects and the amount of work and time left before the required deadline.
Specifically, we will need to explore a wide range of music videos, in order to find a chosen style and genre that we will be attempting to recreate. During the course of this week, we will explore specific conventions of the particular genre to make sure that the work we would be producing would be visually pleasing and realistic for the audience and viewers that are watching.
Once decided on a particular video style, we will need to organise the chosen song and the type of people that we would want to be included in the video. This is relatively simple, as once a genre has been chosen it will be a case of finding a artist that suits the style of music that we are re-creating. This particular task can be done 'on the go' and therefore means that all members involved would not be spending time on tasks that require more dedication and concentration. However, we are aware that discussions will be in place once we feel that we have required a specific style of music and band members that we feel are appropriate.
In addition, when deciding the format of the music video, we will need to discuss how to attract our chosen target market, this will often come later within the course - where were coursework members will be able to follow conventions that they have found in order to attract the chosen audience. This includes, conducting research and survey and other micro research methods to particular people that would be able to give us a clear and realistic answer to the vision that we are creating.

Preliminary Task Evaluation
Throughout the process of our prelim music video many factors occurred which made it challenging, and overcoming obstacles at times was extremely difficult. Learning how to use the camera, and angles which worked best for each type of shot of the video were a few main useful things about the prelim. This is because the most important skills for the final video are these developed to ensure that we produce a professional finished product. Due to all of our class being at different stages during pre-production it made it extremely difficult to organise everyone, as theoretically a class of 22 were working together until post-production. This made it difficult to allow all members of the class to gain experience in all areas of production. A positive we faced was due to us being more organsied than other classes it enabled us to finish pre-production first. This then led to us being able to have access to both a classroom and the drama studio, to have a go at filming in both. The facilities such as light and sound systems, stages and cameras allowed us to capture some good footage. I believe being able to set this up it gave us valuable information which will continue to help throughout the process of the course. We overcame the complication of having a large group and both Sanj and I managed to gain experience from using the camera and the Mac software. This allows us now to understand where we can pick up improvement points to ensure that our video is reflects the standard of our ability.
