Diary Entry 1

In the past couple of weeks I have been introduced to the A2 media coursework brief and I have begun to watch a variety of different music videos and think about why certain camera angles and shots have been used to create a certain tone how they complement the music. I have looked at coursework pieces from past years and the grades that they achieved whilst searching YouTube for established artists to get inspiration for my own idea. This week however, I am making a start on my research evidence tasks whilst include looking in to the conventions of music videos, the history and different genres. I am going to start by looking at the history of the music video and I think that this will expand my knowledge of how technology and society has developed and how the expectations of videos have become more and more extreme.
