A2 Media Coursework-Julianna Moore: August 2015

This video has the duration of just 2 seconds, and was a paired exercise, in which me and my partner had to participate in. when filming the footage for this video, we took various shots and camera angles of one of our class mate around the school, and then edited it with Adobe After Effects, adding several effects onto the footage, along with adjusting and altering the video itself. For example, changing the levels of 'Hue/saturation', added effects like 'Grain', which made the whole footage look vivid and bold, as the colours were adjusted to look darker and shadier, and also cutting out/deleting footage that we didn't necessarily need to include. In addition, we altered/reformed the colours of the footage to make it look dimmer and 'sharper', because it was part of the editing process when experimenting with the tools and options available to us on Adobe After Effects, as we tried out the tools creatively as a way of improving and also learning new things about using 'Adobe After Effects'. Furthermore, this therefore greatly helped improve and develop our knowledge and skills on using an editing software like 'Final Cut Express', as this task particularly allowed me to practice for the real production of my music video. I have learnt and understood how to edit in final cut Express, such as, how to change the final cut file into a QuickTime file. Moreover, I have picked up many skills from this task that will be very beneficial to me when editing my production of a music video.

Summary of Key Music Theories

My Name is Julianna Moore, and I am currently studying A2 media studies. This is my second blog for A2 Media studies and this blog will keep you updated with my research and planning for my coursework based on Pop music videos, in which I aim to produce a high standard music video, album cover and magazine advert for my artist/band. Moreover, it is essential that my products reflect my chosen target market, and appeal to them, as my intention and objective is to ensure that all my products are reflective of other successful music videos, album covers, and magazine adverts in the market today.
