Media Assignment 3 - Music Video Production!
The final date for completion and hand in of your assignment is 19th December 2013.
Assignments handed in after this date will not be awarded marks to their full merit. It is important that you adhere to the deadlines set. As in the 'real world' there is a forfeit for not getting your production finished upon time.
Stay busy, focused and happy!

Media - Assignment 3 - Promotion of Music!
You should now have a firm idea of a genre and a chosen song for Assignment 3.
Remember the key to producing a successful Music Video is the planning stage. Everyone in your group needs to know their role and must keep an ongoing individual record of the planning stage. This will help to achieve a high mark and will inform anyone who examines the final product, how decisions and research influenced your work. This is really important! Do not rely on other group members - you must keep your own records of your input!
Don't forget to make use of the Edusite Website (Use your log-in) and other sites such as Slideshare to help inform your choices. Watch videos from your chosen genre and try to replicate: the stereotypical camera shots/angles; mise-en-scene (actors facial expressions/setting/props etc); expected storylines that follow the lyrics and other similarities you notice.
Try your best to add your own touch of originality and flair also. These videos will gain the highest marks.
Good luck. Clapper board down. Let's make some music videos!
