Expanding On Key Words

Refering back to my coursework from AS and A2:

Constraints were used in my A2 as I was told to make a music video and nothing else for example an advert. This made the project easier as I knew I had to think of something that would work for a music video for example using equipment to film the video which was also limited as I used a video camera, tripod and the computers with the software I needed to make my video look professional. I also had a budget as im a student and dont have the money to go out and buy the certain products I needed so I had to rely on the clothes the girls had to give them the right style for my music video. This was also used when it came to making in AS as I was told to make a music magazine so I knew I had to look for a particular style to get my magazine across to my audience.

Genre was used through AS and A2 as I had to decided what genre magazine and music video I was going to make so I knew who to make it for and how to make it apealing to them (target market). By following conventions of my genre made my products professional and interesting.

Originality was used when making through AS and A2 as I had to look at the style of genre I was going for and looking at other magazines and music videos that inspired me and extending my ideas to make it original and mine. Making sure I didnt copy anyones work but taking ideas and expanding them to make my video and magazine look different to the original pieces of work that are being sold out there at the moment but making sure they are apealing towards my audiences.

Random was part of my research and planning whilst making my media products through AS and A2 as I would take ideas and key words and expand on them even if they werent related to my genre just because I liked the ideas and they inspired my to extend my knowledge. I used the Iphone to edit my images and give it a unique effect just because this was easier to use than a camera and more straight forward which came out with a good quality photo in the end that suited my music magazine in AS. In A2 I used a background for one of my clips in the music video and thought it stood out and could be the image that represented the girls as a band so I included it on my ancillary text which links to the music video.

Freedom to challenge the genre by researcha and planning ideas from a variety of genres and having the freedom to make any magazine style I want including the positioning of the girls and the clothing used to get my genre across to the audience. I also challenging original music magazine and videos by looking at popular products and taking inspiration and adding them onto my final products. I had the freedom to express my band in the layout of my magazine and the editing I used as well as what I included in the artical for my target market to read. I also had the freedom to decided how my music video looked I could use are location and variety of shots to get the best quality clips for my genre video.
