YouTube - sorted(ish)

Okay, after much appreciated help from our Googlers, we've decided to leave things as they are.

Our new YouTube email address (for logging in) is:  georgemedia9@gmail.com

However, we've noticed there are 2 channels attached to our account:

1 - poultenfosterscott

2 - ecs media studies


When you upload anything to our YouTube, make sure it's to the 1st one - the poultenfosterscott.  So when you log in, it should ALWAYS look like this (poultenfosterscott as the main channel):



It's not the end of the world if you don't, but it means I won't be able to add your vids to playlists etc - and it makes life difficult trying to find your vids over the 2 channels.

Lip-Syncing and Emailing Record Company

This week's tasks:

1. Evaluate audience feedback from your treatment pitch last week: create a separate blog label called 'Audience 'Feedback'. 

Evaluate: what changes will you make in light of the feedback?



2. Contact the music producers for your song: write an email asking permission to use their song, print screen and upload onto your blog

•Dear…

•My name is…

•I am studying… (explain the course)

•Explain what this project involves

•Request to use their song

•You have no intent to sell your video 

•Assure won’t be copyright issues as it will solely be used for an educational purpose

•please contact if any concerns at above email address

3. Lip-synch Practise. Take a camera and film all group members lip synching your song. Upload onto your blog&edit. Take a behind the scene photo of yourselves.

THE IMPORTANT BIT: evaluate what you have learned about lip synching from the practise. 

What will you do / not do when filming for real?

Making a Mood Board

Decide on your song choice for your video

1) Upload the lyrics to at least two different song choices. 

2) Evaluate the song choices - ie comment on why you think songs will be good choices and why you’re discarding ideas.

Write about WHY you have chosen your song (make links to Andrew Goodwin's theory eg more symbolism from the lyrics, better visual ideas)

3) Upload a mood board for your song and make comments on ideas: colours, representation/symbolism etc.

4) Print off the lyrics to your song and annotating with ideas for narratives / performance.

How to make a MOOD BOARD

•Use PRIMARY and SECONDARY images of locations

•Use KEY WORDS in your comments: mise-en-scene, atmosphere, settings of music videos, links between visuals and lyrics, representation, genre, audience etc...

•Costume, Fashion, Props, Instruments

•Themes

•Symbols and connotations

       •Inspiration from other music videos`
