Task 4 CF- Analysis of a promo package Deadline Sunday 18th Sept

DUE Sunday 18th Sept 8pm.  Individual task.

 Choose a video and print text (advertisement, digipak) and analyse how the promo package constructs the star image.  Consider the technical aspects that have been used, how the two texts link together and what values are reinforced through the star / band image.  You should use Dyer in your analysis, but should also use other critical frameworks to support your observations, such as narrative theory, binary oppositions, semiotics.

 The post should have the video and print text embedded, and still shots to illustrate your specific points. You might choose to analyse the print text on a PPT slide and upload, so that you can draw arrows to aspects of the design. CLICK here for an exemplar. This analysis is slightly different; it was a group task and discusses 2 videos and 2 digipaks, however it is well presented and excellent use of theory so gives you an indication of a high level 4 standard.

The chosen video should be for your chosen artist, or at least in the similar genre/style so that it is relevant to your concept development.

Task 3 - KJ - Track Choice Treatment - Deadline - Friday 16 September

• Post a link to your track
• Write a summary of your visual ideas so far for your chosen track.
• Include the lyrics with some annotation.

Task 2: UM: Moodboard - Metanarrative of.. Deadline Friday 16 Sept

Individual Task: What do you now need to research to move your ideas on?
Have a discussion in your groups and choose a different area each to focus on.  Present your ideas in Prezi or a different form from the last task:  You could:

• Investigate the metanarrative of an artist you are considering for your track.  How have they changed over time. 
• Research into specific genre (s) of music - what are the conventions?  Which artists are key in this genre?.
• Study Print products - digipaks, adverts - consider style and content of print examples.  What kind of star image is being represented?

Summer Holiday Work 2016

Some of you were not in the last lesson of term so the holiday work is detailed below. It is important that you do some research and preparation prior to the first lesson back so you have some input in group discussions. The first lesson back is Friday 2nd September.  In this lesson we will be setting up the blogs and adding content from this term.  The holiday work will go on the blog with the rest of the tasks you completed in the past four weeks. To avoid losing marks for planning, please ensure that all of these tasks are complete. They are outlined on the task sheets you were given. These are also saved in the shared area: year 13 resources/intro to A2.

The following work must be completed electrically; I suggest you put it into a email to yourself.

Summer Holiday Work (you will be sharing ideas in the first lesson back on the Friday):

# Find three music videos you like. Email yourself the links.

# Bullet point techniques from each video which you would like to emulate in your own production. Consider all aspects of media language such as camera, editing, mise-en-scene. Use terminology from this term.

# Find two tracks you like which are contemporary and don't have a music video already. Why do think they would be suitable? Email yourself the links. Bullet point some ideas you have for visualising this track.

You will need to complete your Photoshop task and the reflection activity.  This is outlined on the slides in the shared area/intro to A2.  There will be no lesson time for this next term so you will need to complete this by Friday 9th September and upload to the new blog.

If you haven't already, you will need to speak to myself or Mrs Fernandez about UCAS. You need to fill in the form given in preparation for this. Please bring this to the first lesson also.

We will be changing the editing software next year to Davinchi Resolve.  This is free so you might want to get ahead and have a play with it over the hols

Well done to you all for your input to the class music video - I love it! (on youtube channel)  Have a great holiday...
