First A2 lesson

Today we were given a breif outline of what our course will consist of to give us an idea of what we will be focusing on throughout the year.

To get us started everybody was given two different cards telling them what they will need to research and get examples of.

For example, mine are:

• Find an example of an interesting music video from the 1990s
• Find an example of a music video featuring a boy band

Examples of interesting music videos from the 1990s


I chose Michael Jackson's Thriller video not only because i'm a big fan but also because there's a lot i like about it. One of the main things i like and enjoy about this video is the fact that it's a short film as well as a music video and it sets a scene before the music actually starts. I also like the fact that the title of the song reflects the video. Michael Jackson is famous for not only his great music but also for the way he dances as he has an original style of dance, this is another reason to why i chose this video because i find that the dancing plays a big part of the video as it's interesting and fun to watch. Another important feature of this music video is the different styles of costume.
The element that i would like to take from this for my own coursework would be the short film.





Examples of music videos featuring a boy band


I like the fact that this music video is set in an unsual place. In my coursework i'd like to use an unsual place for the performance element of the video.
