AS into A2 Research and Planning Begins!

The full details of both of the tasks and the actual tracks and the lyrics can be found here.
We can use these tasks as part of your evidence base for R&P at A2.

The breakdown of the tasks is as follows:

Track Twelve - Mclusky - Luke W

TASK TWO - ONE MINUTE EXTRACT - In your group (or by yourself if that is how you decided to go) use the track you bid for (or if you weren't here, the track you have been given) and recreate as faithfully and accurately shot-for-shot a minute extract. It can be any continuous minute of footage from the original promo, you don't have to go from the very start. If you need to feel free to fudge it and get creative. I'm interested in your problem solving here. DUE ON BLOGS JUNE 26TH

    1. This is, essentially, the A2 version of your AS prelim. Only we don't have to do them (and you won't get marks for perfection) but it gets you to dip your toe into the world of music videos and, maybe, develop a technique you want to use in your coursework.

      There will be another minute extract task in a month or so once your research is under way so you can start looking specifically at certain genres.
