My Main Role

For both the music videos that I created the three main roles that I played was of an Editor, Director and Story writer.

Editor:

For the editing part I used my PC and laptop to edit the videos on adobe premier pro. For me it was the first time using adobe and I did struggle in the start but slowly got a hold of it. Further in the blog you will see how I have briefly explained the way I Edited both my videos.

Director:

I was also directing the music video. You can see in the behind the scene clips how was giving instructions to the actors on how to act for the specific and what and how the scene was to be shot keeping the storyline in mind. Directing was kind of overwhelming when the actors dont cooperate and act according to your desire or when you cant put the idea you have in your mind in action but in the end everything did work out. I believe I did a pretty decent job at directing these two music videos. 

Writer:

For both the music videos I created a rough storyline with all the ideas I had in my mind while keeping intact with the social issue that we selected. After creating the rough storyline I showed my team member and we both compiled our ideas to create a proper final storyline. You will see further in this blog how I have given the rough storyline draft that I created. After deciding the storyline we then selected the song that went perfectly with our storyline and social issue.

Set Briefs

This is a coursework component, internally assessed and externally moderated, 50 marks. Candidates build on the skills developed in Component 1 to engage with contemporary media technologies. They produce a media campaign through a combination of three media (video, print and official social media page), selecting from a choice of set briefs. Candidates will record the process of the planning, research and production of their work online in a blog format. Each candidate must also write a critical reflection, responding to four compulsory questions. The final products and the critical reflection will also be presented on their blog. The work may be undertaken individually or by a group (maximum group size is four candidates). The set briefs each contain a major task and two associated minor tasks. The set brief options are as follows:

Option 1: music promotion package A promotion package for the release of an album, to include a music video (major task), together with an official social media page for the band or artiste(s) and a digi-pak for the album’s release (minor tasks).

Option 2: film promotion package A promotion package for a new film, to include two trailers (major task), together with an official social media page for the film and a poster for the film (minor tasks).

Critical reflection Candidates must write an evaluative essay of around 1000 words. This critical reflection of their work should be guided by the following compulsory questions:

• How do your products represent social groups or issues?

• How do the elements of your production work together to create a sense of ‘branding’?

• How do your products engage with the audience?

• How did your research inform your products and the way they use or challenge conventions?

Introduction

Hi I am Aleema. Welcome to my Advanced Portfolio. In this portfolio, my main aim is to show the detailed research, development and production of the music video I'll be making along with its genre. In this portfolio I will showcase all my work and my learning process. As I'm now in A2, I've learned a lot of things and I feel like my creativity is at its peak. Hopefully this blog will, in the end, present everything I've learnt throughout and more!
