A Level Example Analysis and Response

I have looked at multiple examples from previous years music video's. This will help me figure out what I need to do to achieve my desired grade and what to avoid to prevent an amateur looking and low grade video. To start with I looked at previous year candidate Holly Norton's "Colours" because she achieved almost top marks for her video/blog. She had 50 blog posts before January which were made up of research into her music video and ancillary products. She had also used a range of media to showcase her work such as Prezi, Info-graphics, slideshows etc. This made her blog seem more interesting and showed a variety of skill. This is something I feel I need to apply to my work as I have so far only written out my work onto blogger and it has lacked other forms of presentation. To solve this I will go back and try and increase the quality of my work by putting my work into more interesting forms of media.

Looking at her music video, she has managed to keep the camera steady and used an array of shots that make the video seem professionally made. She has also included interesting special effects and synced the music to what is happening on screen. These are quality's of a music video that I am not experienced with and so I will have to research how to keep the camera steady and how to execute these different types of shots.
