When it came to choosing the main task we were given a list of briefs. As a group we came up with a short list of two tasks that we wanted to do. These two tasks were the music video and the film trailer. The reason we shorted listed the film trailer is because last year we did the opening sequence to a film and we did very well so we knew we would be able to do well with this task; the reason why we short listed the music video task is because two members of our group are in a band so original music will be easily accessible and it will be a challenge to do something different. However looking at the negative side to both tasks the film trailer will require actors which may be difficult to find and the music video will require a lot of planning to ensure that the final piece is to a high standard. After much deliberation we decided to choose the Music Video as our Media Studies Advanced Production Task. This is mainly because 2 members of our group are members of a band and we decided it would make sense to take advantage of this opportunity that others may not have. Also we have easy access to original material and the band has a practice area we have already began discussing ideas about using this area as a possible filming location. For this task we had to choose 2 ancillary tasks from a list of 3 possibilities. The choices were a website homepage for the band, a digipack for the album’s release and a magazine advertisement. We decided to choose the digipack and the magazine advertisement as our ancillary tasks because for our GCSE Media Studies project we had done similar tasks so we have experience in this area. Also unless completed to a very high standard a website can look very unprofessional so we thought it would be difficult to do the website homepage.
