Statement Of Intent

Statement of Intent

My name is Alexandra Turnbull, I am 18 years old and am currently in my final at York College studying A Levels. My main interest is Media and everything to do with that industry as I hope to pursue a career in the industry in the future.

We have to research the music industry, produce a video, create a digipack and film an advert for its release. The research will consist of researching products that are currently around, audience research, detailed plans and then an explanation as to how we created it and if it worked.

I have decided on using this blogging site because I think its simple enough to understand as I have never used a blog before. I can clearly understand how to change the fonts, add all the information by importing it into the site, and also it is very clear, there is nothing to misleading on the page, its simple enough to work. I have compared this site to other blogging profiles, and many of the others such as tumblr.com, and wikiblog.com, were too hard for myself to understand, blogger.com is easy and simple enough for what I needed.

We are doing the coursework because although the exam board have set the work, it was my own choice to return back onto the course as I am hoping to get into the media industry in the future for my career, so working in the second year would give me more experience in the industry.

The project will take around 14/15 weeks which will include at least a couple of weeks to edit the video.

The resources that I will use in order to help me with my research would be using websites such as youtube.com as I can watch music videos, also using the TV so I can watch MTV, as they have various genres of music that they play, this will help me understand more about my specific genre. Also with my research using various using various books and internet sites so I can find out more about the music industry.

The types of resources I can use in order to find locations would be either use the college campus, or look into the various places that are situated around college, such as the city centre of York.

The resources that will help will help me when finding actors would be either use the students that are in my class, or to find friends that are able to feature in the music video. When looking at what resources I can get my video “out” so that I can get people to watch and provide feedback. I can use sites like youtube as they will provide many of my target audience a chance in watching it, as well as other audiences who may come across it.

I hope that the portfolio will go well as I am going to work extra hard so that I am able to get the grade I want. I hope that I don’t struggle with anything or not understand what I am needing to do. I am determined to meet every deadline so that I don’t fall behind on work.

I want to get out of the project a good grade and understanding more about the music industry, also I am hoping to have worked hard towards achieving the best grade I can.

I am going to ensure that my project works and runs smoothly by meeting all the deadlines to the best I can. I am going to ensure my work is up to the best possible standard it can, to make sure I achieve the grade I intend.
