A2 Media

For my A2 Media coursework I will be creating a music video. I will be working in a group (with Emma and Katie) We need to make a final decision about what song we are going to choose. We decided that it would not be a good idea to choose a well known song as the ideas for the video will be in our heads and we wont be able to think about any new ideas, Also to choose a slower paced song as it will be easier to lip sync. We want a song which has a story to it, so we can link the lyrics to the video.

I will need to create a promo package for the release of a album, to include a music promo video, together with 2 of 3 options:


  • a website homepage for the band
  • a cover
  • a magazine advert

We have looked at other peoples music vidoes that have been made to see what kind of ideas they had.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ts5lCUXE6_g&feature=related - this one was goo the way the screen has been split, and it all links and the genre is shown in the music video which is clever.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHLAtJse_5k&feature=related - I thought that this A2 Media coursework was really good. there was a story to the video and it matched the lyrics, there was many different types of shots and many different ideas went into this.

We have created a mind map which will help us in planning and choosing a song for our coursework, on it we have written all of our ideas so far...

We have decided on the song A Kiss With A Fist by Florence and the Machine.

This song is alternative/ indie genre. Although it seems a fast song the lyrics are not fast its just the tune which is fast paced. It gives us alot of thought for our video. A idea which we have got is to film in two different settings, one at a party and the toher in London, these are exiting and give us alot of room for ideas.

we have looked at the video on youtube and im am going to look in detail at the lyrics and then see what we can put in our video which will relate to them.

Here are the lyrics to A Kiss With A Fist...http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858724512/

    I'm worried about the lack of work for the blog, Lizzie. You need to post the coursework brief, pictures to evidence your work in class last week and some research. I would have expected you to have made some decisions by now as well. Don't get too far off track.
