The brief I have choosen to do and why
The brief I have chosen to do is the "A promotion package for the release of an album". Firstly, one of the main reasons I have chosen this brief is because I think its sounds interesting and sounds like a task I would enjoy completing, this is because I am interested in music and music videos and therefore I would like making my own music video. As well as this, I also think that I will enjoy the ancillary tasks.
This then brings me onto the ancillary tasks I have chosen to do and these are ,"A digipak for the album release" and "A website homepage for the band". The reason why I have chosen to do these two ancillary tasks are for different reasons. Firstly, I have never created a digipak in media before and therefore I will be something different, I also think creating a digipak is interesting as I could get inspiration from real artists that are currently in the public eye. Secondly, the reason why I have chosen a website is because, I have never done one of these in media studies before and therefore I can expand my skills and it also means I am not doing something I am comfortable with, also maybe allowing me to explore new media software, however I think both of the ancillary tasks I have chosen will allow me to do these things (expect the digipak may be made on software I have used before). Another reason I have chosen to do this ancillary task (a website) is because, the other ancillary task was a magazine advertisement and I did a music magazine for my AS coursework, and prior to writing this blog, I decided to look at other A-Level media students work to help me decide which brief I wanted to do. And from looking at the different blogs, I discovered that the magazine advertisement task looks very similar to a music magazine cover task I did for my AS coursework and because of this I would feel like I am doing the same task again, meaning by doing the website I would be exploring into different areas, software and skills.
Another reason why I have chosen to do this brief, is because I think I will also enjoy the research and planning side of it, because I have interest in music and music videos, I think I will enjoy researching them and then planning one of my own. However, I think a negative part of this brief, would be that it may be hard to come up with ideas and may also be hard to find music or get permission to use music for the music video. By choosing this brief, it means that I have concentrated on the music industry a lot during all my media coursework (as I made a music magazine for my AS coursework), however this could also be an advantage, as I may know a lot on the industry from previous work.
However I have decided to do this brief for my A2 coursework.
