Statement of Intent.

I'm Charlotte Wright, currently in my second year at York College studying A Levels.
This blog will be an online portfolio into my A2 Media Studies coursework; as part of group and individual study, I shall be planning, producing and evaluating media package inclusive of a digipack, advertisement and music video for a particular song and genre.
In my first year of Media Studies, the coursework was centred around creating a music magazine which included focussing into a current genre of music. My magazine was aimed at an Indie audience called AMP, a play-on-words title on an amplifier used in live music. The tasks involved creating an online survey to collect audience research, which helped to refine my planning. The production included the use of SLR cameras, Photoshop and the process of journalistic writing.
Throughout this new Media project, I aim to increase my knowledge and understanding of the Media industry, as well as improving personal skills through production processes.
The key diffference to this year's work is that it is based further into the media industry rather than primarily on print based media. The use of video within this project will be a new experience; something I aim to refine my understanding and knowledge of use, rather than focussing on still images.
This coursework for the promotional package of a new music album will consist of:
- A Digipak
- A Music Video
- Advertising via music magazine/posters.


After A Levels, I aim to study Fine Art as an Undergraduate; this Media course will enable and further skills such as Photoshop, video editing software and creative design to increase techniques and experience within the media field.
