A2 Media Studies Kate

Reflection: During this month I have made a lot of decisions about the different camera angles and shots that I will use in my music video. I have also made final decisions about the locations that I will use for my music video and the practical process as well as interviewed people from my target audience about the decisions I have previously made about my music video. I have also written the vision for my music video and began to make the first drafts of my magazine advert. 

20/11/17 Aim: To construct the first draft of my magazine advert. Reflection: I have constructed the first draft of my magazine advert and have written a step by step guide as to how I did it. This includes  an outline the different tools that I used to create the different effects. It also splits up the picture and words in explain how I constructed the magazine advert.

After looking at example of other magazine adverts I have decided that this style of magazine advert will best fit the genre of my music video. This advert incorporates both times of my music video helping my target audience to get a better understanding of what it is about. The pictures are layered and edited to get this effect.  Feedback:  'I like this magazine advert because it allows you to see both the man when he was old and the man when he was young. This helps you to understand what the music video is about."                                                                                                                                                                                                                              - Sophie 

16/11/17 Aim: To complete the shot list outlining each different shot I will use in my music video. To complete a summary of ideas for my music video. To complete research into what each photoshop tool does.  Reflection: I have outlined the different shots that I will include in my music video. I have decided to use a range of different shots to give variation throughout my music video. This will make it more interesting and appeal more to my target audience. I have completed a summary of ideas for my music video. This included an outline of the story, t=an outline of my vision and details about the script. I have completed research into that each photoshop tool does and have begun to think about each ones I will use when creating my magazine advert and digipak. 

Photoshop tools from Kate Jenkins This is a presentation outlining what tools are available to use in adobe photoshop. I will use many of these tools when creating my magazine advert and digipak. These will allow me to edit and enhance the pictures as well as moving and positioning them in the best places to make both products appealing to both my primary and secondary target audience. 

Establishing Shot  Long Shot  Medium Shot  Close Up  Wide Shot  This is a list of all of the shots that I will use in my music video. The different shots will help to create different meanings within my music video and to convey the story. Some of these types of shots are conventions of a music video. They will make my music video look more professional and more interesting to watch. 

Music Video: I have decided that my music video will be a narrative music video. In this the story will be about an old man looking back at his time in the World War II when he was a prisoner of war. The memories will be told from the old mans perspective and be like the ounce are experiencing it with him. This will make my music video unique and different and help to attract both my primary and secondary target audience.  Outline of my Vision: The vision of my music video is to make people aware of the prisoners of war during World War II. These people are often looked very and many of them are considered missing in action. Many of these people did escape and did make it back home. My music video tells the story of a man that did make it home alive after being a prisoner of war, from both the perspective of the war and of modern day. Detailed  Script: My music video does not need a script as the song will be the only audio. However I have created a shooting script. My characters d
