An invitation to you all!

Would any of you like to come to an album art exhibition with me?? It's called 'Spin: The Art of Record Design' and is on at The Arts Gallery just off Oxford Street and features loads of iconic album covers from the last 4 decades. Could be great inspiration for your post music video coursework task!

I am planning to go on either on Tuesday 30th October or Friday 3rd October, maybe just for an hour or so in the evening. You can join me for a coffee afterwards if you feel like it, but if you're going out it shouldn't disrupt your evening. Let me know if you want to come along and which evening you prefer and we can decide later. Click here for the link to the exhibition details

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!

Well done everybody; all of you carrying on to A2 have achieved A grades at AS in Media - what a fantastic job you did in those exams!

As a year group you have scored 90% on average across all 3 modules, with 3 of you scoring 100% on the New Tech paper and 2 on the Textual Analysis paper. Genius!

Ms Thrasher, Mrs Dymioti and myself are genuinely so impressed with the standard - and a little shocked too if we're being really honest!

Have noticed lots of blogging going on in the last couple of weeks, well done and keep it up

Really looking forward to next year now; can't wait to get started on those Music Videos

See you all in September, enjoy the rest of the holidays and thank you for making me a very happy teacher!!

Lots of love Ms B xx

here are the links...

to the videos we analyzed last week (these are from the BFI)...

Stan - Eminem

Outside - George Michael

Star Guitar - The Chemical Brothers - is with the Elektrobank example - click next link

Elektrobank - The Chemical Brothers

See how you did - I think those of you that did this did a lot better than these BFI examples but they are still worth reading as there are points you didn't make between you.

Also, please read the posts that others have made on the videos....

Busted-What I Go To School For(with lyrics)

Latymer Music Video Remake 2008
(We will remake the 1st 1 minute 13 secs)

Her voice is echoed in my mind
I count the days till she is mine
Can't tell my friends cos they will laugh
I love a member of the staff

I fight my way to front of class
To get the best view of her ass
I drop a pencil on the floor
She bends down and shows me more....

That's what I go to school for
Even though it is a real bore
You can call me crazy
I know that she craves me
That's what I go to school for
Even though it is a real bore
Girlfriends I've had plenty
None like Miss Mackenzie
That's what I go to school for
That's what I go to school for

Music Artist Marketing Strategy Proposal

For Mrs Thrasher's class, the marketing strategy proposal form is here. Use it when you have completed all the tasks. The best way to do it is create a word doc then copy and paste. Alternatively, send a word doc of your whole marketing portfolio to me.
