Evaluation Q4: How do you think your prelim experiences will impact on your approach to next term's music video coursework?

Next term's coursework follows the brief that we should construct a band or a fake artist and create a 3 minute music video, an album cover/sleeve and a website.

This prelim task has therefore taught us one of the main aspects of next years coursework which how to bring an artist to life, as we all had to take on the role of Taylor (or in the boys case, the role of dancers) and we learned how to adopt a celebrity persona. Being in
the music video and playing such active roles has taught me how to lip sync well and raised my confidence hugely, so that when it comes to making our own music video, I will be able to perform in it without hesitation.



We also made maximum use of the Seaward Studio for our shoot day, using a white backdrop, lots of lighting and camera equipment, costume rails and the changing rooms. Discovering all the possibilities that come with the studio will allow for us to utilise these next term in order to create the right atmosphere for our music video.


Furthermore, the vast amount of preparation that went into this prelim task in terms of styling, dance, rehearsals, movement, influences, costumes and performance has made me realise just ho much time goes into music videos and how much work needs to be done for them, which has prepared me for next year. The performance aspect of the preparation is key to making everyone look comfortable and good on set, and so next term, myself and my group will have to help our actors/artists become performance ready, like Jaz did with us for the prelim video. This involves vocal warm-ups and playing active and energetic games.
