Grading Criteria
Learning outcomes
On successful completion of this unit the student will:
Analyse three examples of music videos across different genres OR choose a genre
on which you intend to focus and analyse three examples. Discuss how and why
different techniques are used depending on the context.
For example, you could look at how the practice differs across movies from the hip
hop, rock and dance genres.
- You should also refer specifically to time codes in the videos you have
used, in order to discuss specific edits/cuts to the beat etc.
Based on your research from Task 1, propose a brief for a project which will
demonstrate your ability to use your knowledge of the codes and conventions of
your specialism to create an effective music video.
You will be required to justify your choice of song as well as the style of music video
which you have chosen to produce.
Your research should inform decisions such as the mode of address, mise-en-scene
etc.
Unlike some of the other specialists, you will only be required to make one
production, but it will need to be to a high standard.
LO2 Plan and Produce a Media Product:
As you will be focussing your own specialism, you may want to work with
another student whose specialism will compliment your own.
Maximum group size is three. You can only have one person in your group for
each specialism. Dont have two editors working together!
Prior to shooting your media productions, you need to plan them to ensure
their success. It will make you more time efficient when filming and will make
sure your productions run smoothly.
Your pre-production should include the following (some may vary dependent
on production)
Production Schedule
Props List
Crew List
Storyboard
Script
Location Recces
Clearances and
Confirmations
Contingency Plan
Camera Angles
Mise-en-Scene
Editing Techniques
Lighting
Sound Design
LO3 Evaluation:
At the end of each LO, you should be completing evaluative journal entries -
evaluating, analysing and highlighting areas for improvement.
It is extremely important that these are completed as you work and not just at
the end. Please remember to take photos during production and screenshots
as you edit. All of this will help to support what you are evaluating.
Follow the guidance available at to help you through each weeks entry.
