Research -Song

After the group annotated the lyrics it was still a hard decision on which song to choose as there were good ideas for both songs. Each song used completely different styles, mise-en-scene and iconography in completely different ways. It was then decided to get audience feedback and constructed a quick questionnaire to see which of the songs were most popular and a reason why.

Here are the main responses:

Research

When the group finished the preliminary task, the class split into separate groups containing for people, making sure each person in the group have different strengths. Once this was decided the group sat down and discussed song and ancillary ideas

Preliminary Task

The class was set a preliminary task to construct an open day video. The class was split into groups and each group was given a different topic to capture, using stock footage and footage that will be recorded. This task was designed to teach the class how to use the software Premier Pro and play around with it, this would enable us to feel more confident and be more experienced when constructing the main project.

The Preliminary task that was given to the group i was in, was to produce two sections, the first on 'Curriculum' and the second on 'Special events'.

Research- Song Annotation

When the group brought the song choice down to a final two, the group thought it would be best to analyse and annotate the lyrics, giving an understanding of the story and an idea of how the different songs can be processed into different types of videos and in different ways.

Below are the two songs annotated.

Reseacrch-Genre of song choice

The first thing the group had to do was to decide on a song. The group decided to construct research into the different types of genres of music, before even looking at songs as this would allow the group to identify which genres were preferred. The group decided to construct a basic questionnaire also to get the audiences feedback into genres.

After researching genres the group came to the conclusion that the most popular genre with in and without the group was pop, so further research into this particular genre was applied. After analysing some songs the group brought it to a final two, 'Ellie Goulding-Your Song' and 'Olly Murs- Thinking of Me'
