First piece of research

Our first piece of research we carried out as a class. Our teacher showed us part of the 100 greatest pop videos for us to have a look at the types of videos that have been make and to find the aspects that are often in music videos.
I looked at some of the videos and wrote down what I thought of them and any parts that I thought maybe I could look into using or thought was good.
I will write up at a later date all the notes i wrote in my book.

Hello :)

I am back again :).
This time I will be doing a music video, but yet again i will be working with Chris.
So over the next few months i will be on her added information about the video and research i have carried out.

The coursework will involve me making a music video, magazine and a digipak. This will be all for the same video which i will find from a unsigned band or from a band that we have got permission from to use there music.

Our Media Class (minus a few because they wasn't in)
