My A2 Project Decision

For my  A2 Media project, I have chosen to create a music video along with a digipak containing a poster and album design. Within this project I will be researching the music industry as well as theories and conventions in the industry.

I have chosen to base my project around music given the fact that I thoroughly enjoy music, it is a big part of me and in turn I am more likely to be interested and engaged with the subject. Additionally, I focused on film for my AS project, and while I am certainly interested in film too, I believe that it'll be more interesting to study a new topic rather than creating a film trailer - plus I believe I would have difficulty in finding good actors which would certainly boost the quality of my final product.

I am a fan of Indie, Rock, Punk, Alternative and Hip-Hop music. With this in mind I will try to combine various conventions from each genre into my final product. My project will focus mainly around my friend Jack Calvesbert who produces his own music and is also part of a band; I will try approaching the project with Jack as my client, as he is currently working on some music now. In working with a friend who has his own music, it removes the issues of copyright when using music owned by a major record label.
Jack is interested in similar music to me, however he is also a fan of psychedelic Rock - which I could incorporate into my work if he requested me to.
