Music Video Research References:
At A2 level it is absolutely essential to provide references to the sources of information.
ReplyDeleteOK, there is clearly some good analysis of music videos here. Has this analysis been useful to you? How do you intend to use this analysis? Don't spend much more time on a history of music video - ask yourself is the history of music video going to help you make a music video?
ReplyDeleteSome good analysis using concepts from last year and the Andrew Goodwin's contributions. I consider this to be a low level 4 at the moment. The application of other theorists would bring this up within this level.
Try to approach analysis from the point of view that it is being used to assist you in your job of making a music video - part of your planning process will be to show how your research has helped you make a video.
