Hey! My name is Jamie Brookes and I am a Media Studies student at West Hatch High School. I am very keen of Media and hope to continue discovering the every changing world surrounding it in university and later life. For my A2 course myself and two others, Faye Martin and Elliot Lee must create a music video and digi-pack for a band of our choice. On my blog I will be showing all the research and ideas I have come up with as well as the finished projects themselves and an evaluation summarising everything I have completed during the course. We also have a group blog, were group decisions, discussions and final ideas are kept.

The End!

Today is the day I have finished my Media Studies coursework. I have finished all the posts on my blog, all my products (album artwork and website home page) and the music video to the song Bring Me To Life for the band Forgetting Last Friday.

Overall I have really enjoyed this coursework. I have enjoyed creating the music video as well as the ancillary texts that go with it and of course working with my group, as a team, as ELJAF Productions. I hope that you too enjoy looking through my blog and my groups blog and enjoy watching our music video, Forgetting Last Friday - Bring Me To Life.

Showcase!

Today was the showcase! All of what we had created so far was saved and shown to our media class, teachers and some other students within the sixth form. During our showcase we gave every person viewing the music video an evaluation sheet which explained how we wanted people to evaluate and criticize our music video.

The overall response was very good. Almost everybody liked the edits and the sound quality of the music video however some told us that some of the performance shots were too long and needed to be cut into something else.

We have taken all the feedback on board and will be tweaking the music video over the next couple of days to create our final professional looking music video.

Half Term

Unfortunately during half term I was away and therefore we did not have the opportunity to film more of the narrative or the performance. Tomorrow we will be discussing what we can next shot and also look back at some of the clips we have already edited and our storyboards.

It's Christmas!

Yesterday was Christmas Day which is why I have not progressed in my album artwork. Soon I will be investigating some more album artworks and showing the process of creating my own. I will need to consider the name of the band, the name of the album, colours, and symbolic imagery.
