A2 Media - Digipack pictures

We went out and took a lot of pictures for the digipack. We may or may not use these. Some we will and some we will not.

A2 Music Video- Editing Part 4

Today we have been editing even more, adding in effects this time. We are doing quite well with this hopefully to get it done by Monday. We have been splitting a lot of the clips and putting them in different places. We have got just a bit more editing to do where we will look at what we have the whole way through and see what needs changing, cutting down and what needs taking out.

Creating my digipack!

Today we have been creating our digipacks and using different effects on different pictures that we have used. This is what I have done so far. A you can see I have done half of my digipack.

These are the pictures I used before and after I edited them;

A2 Music Video: Filming after school

Today we will be filming after school. We are going to go to our first location with the camera and the tripod. We will also be posting pictures of the filming process and pictures for the digipack. We will only be filming the singing parts of the music video because we have decided that we might not need Jake but we will see how filming goes later on. I will try and wear the same outfit as I did the first time we filmed, if not then I will post pictures on here of what I will be wearing.

A2 Media: Exam Preperation

Today we have doing preperation for the exam that is coming up. We have been practising answering questions. Every Tuesday we have a lesson like this. Today's question was;

"Digital technology turns media consumers into Media producers." In your own experience, how has your creativity developed through using digital technology to complete your coursework productions? Refer to a range of examples in your answer to show how these skills developed over time.

• What Digital Technologies did you use?


• What skills did you have at the beginning of both years?


• How did your skills improve?


• What difference did my evolving skills make to my production work.

We had half an hour to answer this question during the lesson and our teacher did let us look at our previous notes. This is my answer;

When I first started AS level media I had two years experience from GCSE, the skills I had already gained helped when first studying AS. At the beginning we were introduced to Photoshop, we were taught how to use it properly and effectively for our work. I had already had some experience with it at GCSE. I would say I had a good understanding of Photoshop when I first started media at AS. During AS; the first project on Photoshop we were told to do was; a Nature magazine. This is just the practise task that we had to do before our coursework. I used Photoshop to the best of my ability for this. I took a picture of a river and used it, adding text and the barcode. Though it looked OK the teacher said I could improve on it. After this task we had to create a school magazine as another practise. For me; this task was harder than the last one. It also looked very simple and unfinished compared. For me; I think to improve; I needed to make a mistake. Looking at this magazine; I knew what to do and not to do when it came to my music magazine coursework. Looking at the two magazines; everything just looks better done and improved.
