Centre Name and Number:
York College 368744
Student Name and Unique Learner Number:
Nathan Millett 1092243703
Project proposal title and date:
Music video 18/02/22
Main area of activity:
I will be working mainly in film and print based products as I am strong in print based products
such as merch and more that I can do in this product and then throughout this final year I have
been prioritising film-based products and I have a lot of strengths and ideas in both topics
.
Rationale:
For the first-year majority of what I made was all print based and I learnt how to make a still image
look appealing and creative to my audience using Photoshop as I utilized more advanced skills.
For example, when creating posters, I was adding drop shadows and changing the colour
schemes to make it look professional and I found out how useful this was to show what my product
was for. Furthermore, for my last product last year I decided to create a watch advert with posters
around it and it worked very well I learnt how to use light effects to my advantage and how to
capture what I wanted the audience to see. Then for this final year I have prioritised film based
products this has helped me as I now know how to sue different camera angles to my advantage
and make the product more entertaining for my audience, I also learn how to sue premier pro more
efficiently in my products which has helped me a lot and I have done it in this structure so when it
came to my FMP I would have a lot of various products and ideas that I could create.
Project Concept:
I am going to be making a music video of an existing song I will also be creating merchandise to
go with the video I am thinking of the video to be about 3-5 minutes long and to then also create
some posters/ magazines and some merch to go with the video so in total I will be aiming at 5
products in the end. Before I create these products, I will need to do some research, such as how
the producers make their videos and what effects/ props they use to do so. I will also be
researching how other producers have created their music videos such as what sort of transitions
they are using and how they have edited their video. When I have done this, I will then look at how
the actors are moving in the videos, and I will be watching their body language and see how it
changes when the song is different such as a different genre to on so I will look at a hip-hop/rap
and a pop music video and I will look at how they are different as they both will attract an entirely
different audience.
How will the project be evaluated and reviewed:
I will be getting some of my peers to look at my work and tell me the strengths and weaknesses of
my product that I have created I will then be comparing the overall product to an existing product
that was made by a professional and see how they differ with editing skills and colour schemes
and more. When I have done this, I will be thinking about how I can improve on it next time and
seeing what my strengths where so I know what I can use again when I come to create something
like this as I will have more of an idea of what the audience likes to see when watching these types
of products. After this I will then go on and compare my work with one of my peers that have done
something like what I have created.
