Advanced Portfolio- Planning

At the beggining of the course, we took a look at old student work of their filming to gain a good knowledge of what we had to do. We also looked at their media analysis. Here we were able to identify what was required of our work and what to avoid when doing it.

For the first part of this course, we were asked to choose two pieces of media footage of our choice, and do an analysis for each one. This could be a music video, a tv advert, a cinema trailer etc. Here we had to analyse the different camera shots, angles and effects while also analysing the mise-en-scene of the video. For my two videos, I chose to analyse two music videos as that is what I want to make for my final piece. I chose 'Jamie T- Sticks 'n Stones' and 'Hadouken- Waiting for You'. I chose these two videos as they are completely different to one another. I wanted to explore what shots and settings helped give the video a story

behind it. This could then help me when I film my music video, having the knowledge of what angles would suit best and how it will help to tell the story of the video.
