A2 Blogging!

We're back at school after the exams and already preparing for our A2 Media course. We've got together the old 'team' from last year as we feel like we worked well together as a group when we were making our thriller trailer, as despite the pitfalls we occassionally came across we persevered and created the video that we wanted to make. We feel we'll be able to make a good start to this course if we work together again, despite the fact that we may not end up doing our final pieces together.

So now to the work itself, we've got to create a preliminary piece again, this time including:

• A short music video - approximately 1/1.5 minutes
• A CD digi pack - back cover including spines and insert booklet of even numbers
• An A4 page magazine advert for the CD

We've chosen to create a music video for the popular song by McFly, 'Five Colours in Her Hair'. We ended up choosing this video due to everyone in the group having prior knowledge of the song, despite our varying music tastes, ranging from One Direction to The White Stripes and Brand New.



Another contributing factor to this is the fact that McFly released this song early in their career and were therefore less well known/adept at the music vdieo creating process, leaving the video to be adequate but nothing outstanding. In comparison, one of their latest songs, 'Love is Easy' provides a much more polished music video, even though it takes on a similar style to the older video.
