Reflection of the AS year

The skills at I had learnt last year, especially the technical skills will be valid for shooting our Music Video this year, however some aspects of these skills will be enhanced and developed:

• For our Thrillers we used the Camera on a Tripod so it was static, as opposed to this year we will have to use a fig-rig as no music videos are ever static as this will not allow the video to feature any sense of rhythmn.
• In our AS year we also played about with representations and the conventions that society use to demonstrate a particular type of person. This will still be valid for A2 as we will be representing our brand and the genre of music that we have chosen through the use of miss en scene. 

Here is mine and my groups Thriller from last year:

Overall, I feel that we had a variation of strong ideas:

• Our title sequence was original; using social media icons to illustrate our names.
• We didn't give too much information away, we set out our storyline of an online predator and an innocent school girl, although we did not expose any rich information.
• Moreover, our soundtrack choices and camera angles were vital in expressing status and vulnerability within the characters.

This year I feel that I can improve my work and dedicate my time to ensure that my groups music video match the criteria set out and in the hope we will achieve a high grade.
