The Mini-Vid Task Explained

The first task we are carrying out for A2 is the mini-vid task of which is similar to our preliim we did on our AS coursework. It is designed to start making us think about music video production of by creating a 30sec - 60sec clip. However, it involves considerably more research and planning than our prelim did, as for our prelim we were aware of the shots we had to use. 

With this task unlike the prelim we have to pitch an idea to our class mates with a 30-60 seconds pitch to try put forward an idea for the class to choose yours. 

The aims are: 

• To advance our understanding of the factors behind track selection
• To provide practise pitching
• To provide a sense of scale: A music video production is more demanding than a film opening
• To provide opportunities for editing experimentation and creative expression
• To deepen our familiarity with FCProX tools and FX
• Generating significant evidence on A2 coursework criteria
