Challenges of A2 Media

When we came to back to college in the New Year we were faced with A2 Media. We were first introduced to the subject and everything we would be doing in the proceeding. Once this was all done we were to split into groups and start to plan our music video. The first challenge we faced was that we had to decide upon a song that all three of us would be happy with, as we have different music tastes. We decided on Eminem and Rihanna – Love The Way You Lie.


Once this was done we had to choose on the story, actors, locations ect. This brought up a lot of debate on what we would do. This was a much bigger challenge than last year, because last year we were doing the opening of a film it was easier to choose and work out what to do unlike a song, as I said earlier the song may not be everyone’s personal preference.


Once it came to the point of filming we had to film much more shots than when we had done our film opening in AS because we had to keep the time period of the shots in time with the beat of the song, for example one clip in the Music Video would go between every sixth drum beat and could last only 3 seconds, whereas in AS a clip could last for up to two minutes. Moreover, the time scale of the videos is very different. When we had to do the opening scene in AS, we had a longer period to do it. Unlike this where we only had about two months to complete it all.
