A2 Media production brainstorm

For my project this year i decided to go for the choice of making a movie trailer,a web homepage and a poster.the genre im going with this year is thriller/suspense.the reason i have chosen to work with this genre is because i think i can come up with good ideas and storylines that can define the genre.the storyline idea im working across is the subject of kidnapping.

MUSIC DOCUMENTRY

This music documentry was done by my class,we all went to out and made clips from different music genres based one the question 'why is music important'. We narrowed it down to targeting youths.we put it all together and this is what we made.

My contribution to the project was a parody for music video 'Lazy Song' by Bruno Mars,with questions and answers after.The parody in my opinion looked good but a few changes could have been made,for example at 05:18secs of the video, the lyrics arent in sync with her actions.


I could see the video as a sort of promotonal documentry under sony,promoting their music and the different genres.But having being under sony i think some changes would be made to make it more profesional.the changes would involve alot more editing to make the video one as a whole instead of differnt clips being put together,so basically to make the video look more stuctured.

Copyright
 when we uploaded the documentry onto youtube we realised it was muted. later on we found out the reason was because of the bruno mars song i was using for my part of the documentry,so in the end we uploaded it onto our blogs in a different way.although i dont see why the video was muted because it was cleary stated that its a parody, youtube still asked to contact warner brothers to ask for the right to use their music.after watching 'ripit' by brett gaylor,a documentary which examines copyright issues i realised there alot of arguments raised about copyright.for example what the american musician,girl talk does for a living which was remixing and taking parts of other peoples song and putting it together to create a new one.
