Over the Past few months myself and my Media teacher have been in close contact about the songs of choice for my groups A2 Media Music Video Production which will contribute to our final grade at A level media. My teacher felt it was extremely important that we contacted OCR and clarified with them about our proposed idea. I myself was particularly overjoyed at the response from OCR who felt that if the songs were edited together well then it would be an unusual idea and something that hasn't been done before at A2 Level. I personally feel that this gives us a stronger idea and indeed a USP to sell to our audience. Visible below are the emails that highlight my teachers clarification email to the OCR exam board and their response.
However, our first contact about the mix of these three songs took place between myself my group and my media teacher after we had finished editing a mix to try and gain her opinion. The following conversation is explained below and taken from my personal Media Twitter page.

Good work Daniel - can you be more involved with this - ie you could state how you played me an edited version of the songs for feedback (add a sound cloud version of this) and that as we were new to making music videos at the school you asked me to contact OCR so we could be sure this was an appropriate way to answer the brief - this way it shows you as being proactive rather than me.
ReplyDeleteLoving the tweets - great idea - it would be helpful to know what you gleaned from them otherwise this is a job half done - fantastic idea - keep going!
ReplyDeleteAhh - sorry your tweets initially came up as a post rather than in your column on the right - well done for tweeting some really helpful ideas - add them to your own post as they will move down the tweet list and it won't be clear you have contributed - so add a screen shot of the tweets and then comment on how the tweets help inform your own project.
ReplyDeleteThankyou for the positive feedback miss, i have since changed a couple of features and used my Media Twitter account to my advantage within my blog!
