Music Videos
If you're considering music video then you might like to have a look at the examples below, not to emulate them but perhaps to see how it's sometimes possible to "borrow" ideas from other videos and make them your own. The "making of" video is useful because you can see some of the filming process involved.

Copyright
As you know we have had discussions in class about using music in the music video brief. Well OCR have just produced this document to clarify their position. http://community.ocr.org.uk/core/community/public/download_file?rid=2640 It clearly explains that as far as they are concerned it is ok to use existing songs. They will not deduct marks for this. However they take pains to state that they cannot be held responsible for any problems that using existing music might cause for schools and individuals. It seems their main worry is people putting downloads for a track that they don't own the rights for onto the website that they might produce as an ancillary task. I can see that record companies and publishers would take a very dim view of this.
The document also includes a lot of links to copyright free music on the Internet, including Moby's site. He famously allows people to use his music so this site and some of the others might be worth a look.

Your New Blog
I want everyone to set up a new blog for the A2. Make sure that you create it in the same area as the old one since we know that those all work. When you've set it up leave the URL as a comment on this item. Then I can bookmark you. Good luck!
Research
The research into short films that we have been doing needs to be written up. The films we looked at were:
