Album moodboard

This is a moodboard for album covers that are in our genre, wich is punk rock/rock. These will give is some ideas and inspiration for our own album cover. We will not plagiarise these album covers though as they only serve as inspiration. They also give us ideas of conventions of punk albums which makes it easy to make a digipak within the genre.

Conventions of a male punk/ rock fan

Key media concepts/ theories

These are the key concepts that we will use in A2 media studies. I will try and use these concepts when I can to make my media production as good as possible. These theories serve as the backbone for all pieces of media that are made.

Key concepts analysis/shot count

Personal skills audit

This is my personal skills audit. It shows what skills I have learned and how they have helped me in media studies. It also shows how these skills will help me during A2 when I am making a music video. 

Storyboard

This is the storyboard for our music video, we hope to follow most of these but we know that as we progress, some shots might be changed and edited or even removed altogether.

What is genre?

Genre is a system of classification that different forms of entertainment fit into. This includes book, film, music. It makes it easy to find other films/books/music you will like as things within a certain genres will be similar. Things are put into genre by what conventions they follow. Genres of music include, rock, pop, rap, dance etc. All of these genres contain different conventions which set them apart. For example, in a pop video you would expect to see bright colours and simple lyrics but with a rock song you would expect to here heavy guitars.

Shooting schedule

We will use the shooting schedule when film so that we can remind ourselves of what kind of  shot we need and how the actors are supposed to act inside the shot and also mise en scene. Without this we would be forced to improvise and the product would not look good and look like we have made it up on the spot. The illustrations in our storyboard are poor so we would rather rely on words than pictures.

Questionnaire results

This is a link to our questionnaire for our music video. We only got a limited number of responses so the results have to not be taken as seriously as a questionnaire with a lot of responses.

This shows an analysis of the questionnaire. You can see that the people who filled out this survey believe that live performance is not important within a music video but we have gone against this as we have included this in our music video. It shows that having a narrative tell a story is important and we have done this in our music video. It also shows that star image is not important to these people and we have not gone out of our way to do this.

I asked on twitter for people to do this questionnaire but only 2 people did.

In addition to the image, we used this style of font as it looks hand drawn and slightly amateurish as well.
