Unit 2C - Music Video 

​​

Utilising your skills from the past two years, the software (e.g. Premiere Pro), the hardware (e.g. DSLRs, camera movement, equipment, lighting);

​

Your job is to research, plan, present and execute part of (1:30-2 minutes) a music video using the BRIEF HERE and consider the following;

​

  • A performative, narrative, experimental or a mix music video. 

  • You have a clear research plan considering audience and purpose.

  • A focus on camera and editing techniques where you have pushed your learning.

  • A new technique or tutorial has been considered. 

  • Reflect and evaluate throughout the whole process. 

 

It can be your own song choice and already have a music video, however yours must not include any similarities to the original. 

​

You should incorporate a mix of new soft and hard skills

where necessary, considering how to build a music video from

research and analysis, up to production and post production.

You should work in groups and each member of the crew

will have a specific role.

Your project is set out in 5 stages;
- Proposal
- Research & Pre Production 
- Production

- Post Production
