Changes to Software

This is a short post explaining why we changed the editing software that we would use to edit our media product

In AS Media Studies through to the first half of A2, we used Microsoft Premiere editing software to edit our media products; they were used last year to edit our thriller openers and we used them in our first edit of our music videos this year. However, due to complications with regulations at the venue we were using to edit, and the quality of the editing we could achieve using Premiere software, we switched over to using iMovie via Jasmine's laptop. There were many benefits as a result of this decision; the editing process was much more time efficient as we didn't have to travel to a particular venue to edit, and during any free periods any member of our group could hop onto the laptop and do some editing. It also meant we could edit outside of school hours and off site. iMovie was also significanlty easier to use and as a group we were more familiar with the software and how to use it. We can confidently say that our end product is of a much higher standard because of the change in editing software.

Alfie Arcuri - If They Only Knew Analysis

The music video for "If They Only Knew" by Alfie Arcuri is themed around LGBT awareness and an individual discovering their sexuality and identity. The theme of friendship is also prevelent throughout the video and that is something we wish to incorperate in our music video. For these reasons, this music video inspires me and my group, so i'm going to analyse it to gain ideas. Mise-en-scene Throughout the video, the dark and alternative clothing that the characters wear creates the aesthetic that we want for our video, in order to appeal to our target audience of young people. This clothing style is also common with the demographic of people who listen to the alternative style of music. Throughout the video we also see the friendship group smoking and drinking, a common theme in terms of alternative music videos. I was particularly interested in the theme of a love triangle within a friendhship group as a narrative. Camera In terms of camera, we see an establishing

Note To The Examiner

Below you will find my completed music video production, for the song "Sorry" by Nothing But Thieves. Also, earlier in my blog you will be able to find my ancillary tasks of a corresponding digipak and magazine advertisement, sorted under the labels "Digipak Production" and "Magazine Advert Production." All of the posts on my blog are sorted into the relevant labels, easily accesible via the sidebar. Across my two years of Media A Level study, my production, filming, editing and creativity skills have developed massively as discussed in my evaluation, and my ability to participate in teamwork and organisational work has increased to a significantly higher level. I have thouroughly enjoyed the production work I have completed in my final year of my media study, and myself, aswell as my production group, are incredibly proud of the final product we were able to create.

Evaluation Question One

Image
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? Myself and two other of the four members in our group sat down to discuss the ways in which our product uses, develops and challenges forms and conventions of real media products. We based our discussion off of the research we conducted prior to planning and constructing our product, and considering inspiration we took from these music videos we researched. There were also instances where we challenged the most common conventions of music videos, as discussed in the clip which we filmed on an IPhone 7 camera and embedded into this post.
