Initial proposal:

• State clearly the brief you wish to complete and who is in the group

Im doing the Music video breif and i'm by myself

• Explain why you have selected this brief

I love editing and i love to make montages and stuff so it's my kind of brief. I do like to do picture editing (making backgrounds for my youtube channel) but I much prefer doing video editing.

• Explain what each of the elements of your selected brief will involve

The music portion will contain... music (explained below). I will try and make the video about 2 minutes. Setting this as a goal will create space for extra parts if I want to add in moar. The audio will be by Christian Campbell (Audiosyncratic). Im by myself so i have to do everything which will be easy as I probably wont use a camera. As I have said, I amd going to focus on gameplay montages (In short, Music videos that include mainly gameplay) and if I do use a camera, I will be filming fingerboarding or something like that. I wont be filming something in the city with lights, actors etc. For a one man army, too much work.

• Discuss your initial thoughts about the genre/content/style – what you plan to make?

There is not really going to be a genre but the music will be a mix between Dance and sort of chill music. Its my brothers music so im not sure. Content is going to POSSIBLY be either my "talents" (rolelrblading etc) or video game editing in the form of a montage. I want to try and really focus on the editing and not the story as story is only useful when you want to give your video a point, which I dont. I want to make mine fun and entertaining. Colourful etc.

• Identify (name) your key texts (minm. 3) to be studied for research analysis

Music sync, effects, programmes. the three videos that I will be analysing are: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx0bcFglwng (fingerboarding aspect), http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTbVY4z_x7A (Editing, music sync) and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KK0wz89lZ6I (Live action, story)

• Identify any areas for technical research/experimentation

I have been experimenting with editing and syncing for a very long time so I only have to experiment with what kind of video it is going to be. Over the holidays, I was working on one video which was a kind of experiment but then again, I made it for fun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CP3rCRPz2w4

Rather wouldnt do a timetable. I work much better if I do things whenever I want to. Jobs get done faster and more efficiently. If I have a timetable, I feel like I have to rush a certain element to get on with the rest. if I really have to, I will make a timetable.
