First Lesson in A2!

Today we had our first lesson with our A2 teacher - Miss Poulten.

We were each given two cards which asked us to find music videos of perhaps a certain era or genre and find a specific element which we would like to use in our music video. The two cards I was given were "music video from the 1970's" and "music video with a lead female vocalist".

Music Video's from the 70's.

In this music video, Blondie - Heart of Glass, I really liked the beginning shots of different cities and towns. I really look forward to using lots of different locations for A2 and I would really like to make that apparent in my coursework.

In Bob Marley's "One Love" music video, I really like the idea of other people singing the lyrics. In my A2 coursework I'd really like to get a lot of people involved (starring in the music video) rather than having just one character, like in my AS coursework.

Music Video with Female Lead Vocalist.

In Beyonce's "Run the World" video, the element I would really like to achieve is the use of the natural environment. I think the use of the desert and things like the fire look very effective (used at the beginning). This is also very apparent in one of the student's music video at Hurtwood House. I also really like the rich colours used in the Run the World video.

Nicola Roberts has a very simple music video. I really like the light lighting and that it is a fun and upbeat music video.
