comparing AS and A2 projects

In AS we had to create a beginning to a film; without giving too much of the story away and over explaining the ideas for the next sequences for the rest of the film. We worked in groups to research, plan, film and edit the opening scene. We were allowed to use our own music for more effect but couldn’t use other artists’ work. We had to keep a ‘blog’ updated explaining what we had done and why, also putting on photos and research into other film openings. In A2 we have to create a music video for any genre of our choice. There are some similarities to this year and last year’s work, for example, we had to work in a group of up to 4 people, use the same technology and software (camera and ‘final cut pro’ in editing), go out of college to different locations, research and plan what we were going to film, draw up a storyboard and also use a ‘blog’ to update and inform teachers and the examiners what we have been doing and ideas for our projects. However there were also differences; this year we could use the studio to film lip-syncing scenes, whereas last year there wasn’t a need to use it because a film had to be more natural and at a location not the subject placed on a ‘green screen’ image.




We have each wrote a post account on how we have found the projects by comparing them together.
