Production Diary

Week 7

This week was assessment week, therefore, in this lesson we had to work in exam conditions, over looking our  AS blogs and explaining the strengths and weaknesses that were evident, explaining them in an essay. We also had to compare them with what we will do differently this year in our A2 blogs in order to achieve a high, better grade at the end of the year. I found that the originality of my blog wasn't of the highest standard therefore this was defiantly something I would aim to improve this year. As this media lesson was my only lesson today I decided to do more media work throughout my day and study periods. I looked deeply into the conventions of different genre music videos and made mind maps to then put onto my blog. Hand writing the mind maps helped to make the information I had found out stay fresh in my mind. 

In the next lesson my group and I decided it would be good to get research on our audience to ensure what we are doing is on the right lines and we can continue our research to meet their needs. It helped us learn that indie and R&B are popular, but pop have the most exciting videos, especially to our target audience. Many people said  that they enjoy concept but like to see lots of performance too. We have used these aspects to really get to know our genre which is Indie with a hint of R&B. Thinking about what our audience wanted to see, we started thinking about ideas for concept shots.
