Advanced Portfolio Chosen Brief

A promotion package for the release of an album, to include a music promo video, together with two of the following three options:

• A website homepage for the band;

• A digipak for the album’s release;

• A magazine advertisement for the digipak.

 For this brief, I am going to make a music video to a slow pop song, with the video involving a couple having broken up and being a split screen, showing how they both are acting at the same time (For example, the woman would be crying on her bed, while the man would be at a bar). I've chosen to do this as I feel it would be a fun and creative experience and I would be able to edit this well.

For the two ancillar tasks, I will be completing the magazine advertisement for the digipak and a digipak for the album's release.

Advanced Portfolio Initial Ideas & Audience Feedback

Initial Ideas from mikeylilley

The feedback I received from my peers was largely positive, with all of them saying it was very realistic to create a music video. They also said that they liked the idea of the split screen showing two seperate stories at the same time, with the shot types changing at the exact same moments. However, there was one concern that it would be hard to get the acting right as "it'll be really hard to creat enough emotion through [the] characters that the audience [will] actually believe".
