Preliminary Brief

For the preliminary piece i am working with Misha Armstrong who i will also work with for the final peice. We chose to work together as we were in the same group for our AS coursework and both felt that we worked well together. We have since decided to work in a group of two as opposed to the group of 4 we were in last year as we think it will be more effective.

Our song choice for the preliminary piece is; All American Rejects - Gives You Hell. We chose this song because it is a popular song and has catchy lyrics which will hopefully make the lip syncing look more effective. We also thought it would be an interesting song to do in a school enviroment as some of the lyrics match the mise-en scene.



Neither me or Misha have watched the music video for the song, which we thought would be useful as it wont have any influence on our ideas. It is also a lively up-beat song whcih we thought would make a fun, short music video.

We are going to make a preliminary piece because it is a good way to practice new skills that we will need for the final piece. For example; lip syncing is something that will require us to learn a new skill. It will also give us the opportunity to get feedback which may help us to make decisions for our final piece.

For our prliminary piece we are going to create a single promotional package which will include;

• Music Video.
• CD digi pack - back cover including spines and insert booklet of even numbers.
• A4 page magazine advert.
