From now until I post saying otherwise, I am doing my preliminary practise piece for unit G324, the music video.
In my group for the practise piece is me, Nicola and Jacob, and as soon as they have started their blogs I will link them below.

We are creating a preliminary piece as a way of practising our methods of researching areas to do with music videos, to further our knowledge and skill in terms of recording the videos and to experiment with different methods in editing a video. We have to film, edit and export a short 1-1.5 minute music video, which must feature lip syncing. We also have to create a CD digi pack, which includes a back cover including spines and an insert booklet for the CD. Lastly, we must create an A4 magazine advert advertising the CD.
The song which we will be creating a video for is 'Let Her Go' by Passenger, you can find the official video for the song below. We chose this song as I had a very good idea of what I wanted to do in terms of the video, and due to the song being a first hit for passenger, I felt that it would be perfect, I then pitchedd this idea to the rest of the group. I did this by realising that the official video is fairly simple as it is mainly performance-based, so we decided to feature more of a narrative but with elements of performance such as lip-syncing, and maybe some guitar playing due to the guitar being the main instrument in the song.
We also chose this song as, due to the fact we must record the video on the school site, we knew areas of school which would be perfect for filming the video, such as a small area of trees, a bit of an open area which I feel would suit the feel of the music, due to the music being very calm and relaxing, we felt that a serene setting would be the most suitable.
After taking all of this into consideration, we did finally decide upon this song, and we are currently in the process of creating the CD digipack and coming up with a storyboard for our music video.
