Playing with Photoshop

Once you have finished your first attempt at a CD cover post it on your blog- make clear that it is just a photoshop exercise.

Work to do while Mr B is in Wales

Choose the song you intend to produce a music video for.
Post as much infomation about that song as you can on your blog.
Writers, Producers, Distributors, Lyrics, Artists, has it been covered, who by?
Does it already have a music video.
Are you intending to record / perform your own version (if you have the talent)?
etc.

Narrative

Look at this PowerPoint to remind yourself of some narrative theorists.

Message to Joe Richardson

Please email my school email address with the URL of your blog so I can link to it. Or you could post a comment here.
Many thanks.

Next...

Find three videos of the same genre and post to your blog so that we can discuss Goodwin's assertion that videos display "genre charateristics" and establish what they might be. For example power ballads because I know you love these!

Jennifer Rush- The Power of Love

Aerosmith- I don't wanna miss a thing

Bryan Adams- Heaven

Enjoy!

Note to self

Still need to comment on Tom T and Joe.

Next Post

Now do some research into"genre charateristics". Post some evidence that a number of music videos of the same genre share definate characteristics. Either via a PowerPoint (slideshare) or post directly to the homepage of your blog. Links to videos must be provided.

A second blog for Miss Smith's work.

To enable you to hand in work to Miss Smith set up a second blog on your blogger account and put up an obvious link to it on your coursework blog.
