Research We analysed the construction of previous music videos within our chosen genre which was electropop, researching the history of the genre as well as the construction of a star/ artist in that specific genre.

Chromebooks YouTube where we looked at other videos for inspiration such as Halsey’s ‘Colors’ etc.Google and Wikipedia was the most helpful as I was able to find results that were already available on the internet.

Various presentation methods utilized;

- Prezi- slideshare/powerpoint- Word document- Youtube video

Planning /Pre - Production

Initial ideas was done through We did storyboards plotting how we wanted the video to be like. We also plotted our initial ideas beforehand to show the ideas we wanted. We also decided that our should be a visual representation of the lyrics where we could easily incorporate the abstract effects.

Scanned them onto a word document and uploaded them. For the initial ideas, we converted it to a mind map on mindmeister.

Production This is the actual construction of the music video is able to make

We utilised video cameras, storyboards,studio lighting and other props

We had to upload the images and save it onto our drive and onto imovie as it would be easier to transition into editing. This was beneficial as it would be saved as a back and precaution.

Since this was the production the footage would be presented as a music after being edited in post production.

Post - Production Analysis of the music video was put onto blogger explaining what exactly

Editing - we used iMovie to edit the video together. We were planning on using final cut pro but we had to choose Imovie as there was technical difficulties with the software.

We uploaded it to YouTube and then onto our blogs by embedding the YouTube link. It was easy to done as it was done online.

Construction The construction of my magazine poster was created of

They were able to make sure that they

Pixlr and photoshop was used to create the poster especially since my poster was pretty abstract.

Research I’ve looked at other examples on social media, Amazon, etc.Analysed 2 examples on our blog which were Troye sivan’ ‘Blue neighbourhood’ poster and Melanie Martinez ‘Cry Baby’ poster.

To do this research I had to do this on a computer and search on the internet.

I used google that enabled me to easily access what I wanted to search for.

This was presented as just a word document where I had images of artists posters and analysed them to see if they’ve also conformed to the forms and conventions of the electropop genre.

Planning /Pre - Production

Planned our ideas of what to include in our final promotional poster.

This was done by hand and scanned by a copier onto the computer. I drew out a paper version of what i wanted exactly on the digipak which was done in full colour. It included labels and title of what a real poster would include such as hashtags and etc.

This was presented as a hard copy but scanning it online made it easier to present as i was able to analyse more easily where I could erase any mistakes without leaving visible effect.

Production The making of the magazine meant I had to actually physically have an image that I can easily distort to my liking.

Carried out four different photoshoots of the artist to create four different digipaks.Mac computer used for editing the images

Used Adobe Photoshop on the actual image. However, I used Pixlr to carry pour the rest as it was much easier and the effect was the same as on photoshop.

This was presented as a jpeg image which was the put onto blogger where I have analysed and explained to why’ve i used certain images.
