This is the email I sent to Ed sheerans label antlantic records requesting for copyright permission however myself and my group members have chosen to do the song 'let her go by passenger' of which we have also asked for permission.

Analysis of a previous students music video


This video uses the disjuncture structure, the video has little connection to the lyrics, however the video is still very effective in its purpose. There are very obvious edits used, many jump cuts and special effects, like the shot of the breath being reversed back into her mouth furthermore there is a very obvious colour filter used to add a little style to the video, it is made very effective because of its consistency throughout the video. This video deviates from the usual way women are portrayed in music videos, there is no dismemberment and no "skimpy" clothing. They have a clear style they were going for with the artist, very fashion forward yet conservative and there is a clear colour scheme of blacks, browns and creams.

Transition from AS to A2.

During AS media i picked up a variety of skills which i feel will help me during the A2 year.

These skills consist of:

- How to hold the camera effectively in order to get the best shots.

- How to edit videos using final cut pro

- How to use many software's such as photoshop, final cut pro, garage band etc.

- rules of filming.

One of my main challenges was keeping up with the blogging which i have learnt from and will use my time more wisely.

The skills i think i will pick up in A2 is research skills such as researching into audiences and being able to plan effectively as i will have to plan for my music video.
