Song Choice and Mood Board

Well done everyone for making your song choices! I hope it's a weight off your mind.

We can now steam ahead with the A2 course: your initial ideas for your videos are inspiring!  Please don't worry if you make changes in these early stages, as long as you stick with your plan once you've storyboarded.

Tasks for this week:
  • Blog about decision making process in deciding on your track
  • Explain why you've discarded track ideas (too long, not enough editing potential etc.)
  • Upload a mood board of your initial ideas: colours, locations, costumes etc.
Have a great weekend, see you on Tuesday
