For the final production I am working in a group with Alex Sodimu and Bradley Stokes. The reasoning behind this is because, on our recent task where we had to create a music video, we worked together and worked really well. We came up with a number of ideas between us, and when we were filming the music video we started to think of ideas that we could use for our final piece even though we hadnt actually decided what song we were going to do.
We have decided on a  music video as we filmed one for our practise task and felt this would be the best way for us to get the highest marks possible. We had a brief to follow, bellow is the brief:

A promtion package for the release of an album, to include a music promo video together with:

• a cover for its release as part of a digipack (CD/DVD package)
• a webpage containing and promoting the artist

The song we have decided to film is Ed Sheeran Grade 8. We looked at a number of  various artists and their songs to see what would be the best option and we choose this song because it is a modern artist and we are able to relate to his work.

The final task we carried out before decided on what we were going to do for our final project watch a film sweed or a music video. Our group decided to do a music video for the song 'Without You' by Mariah Carey.

From the task I learnt that it is important to make sure you choose the shots you are using carefully as if you dont it can make the video look rubbish, it can also make it difficult to edit the video as you may need to use your character as a reference to what they are singing to put it in time with the music. It also allowed us to use more features of the i-movie software to edit the video. Another thing I noticed and will consider more seriously when it comes to the final task, that was that we must plan more in depth, this is because if we dont and something goes wrong or we are unable to film a particular shot, then we must be able to change it or have a back up.
