Decision

Between the three of us we have decided to the album release option.

We have chose this because we all have a keen interest in music, are familiar with music videos recent and old and understand the codes and conventions used when making one. We are excited at the prospect of choosing our favourite songs to make a media package for.

Also, Rob and myself study A2 Film Studies and at the same time we are creating a short movie for that subject so the variety will be in our favour.

Assignment

During our first media lesson we were given the briefs to our coursework projects. There were several projects that we were given the choice of doing but the majority we immediately dismissed because they did not appeal or seem interesting to us. There were however, two that we did find appealing -

A promotion package for the release of an album, to include a music promo video, no longer than five minutes duration, together with:

- A cover for its release on DVD

- A magazine advertisement for the DVD

A short film in its entirety, lasting approximately five minutes, which may be live action or animation or a combination of both, together with:

- A poster for the film

- A film magazine review page featuring the film
