Seeking Permission

I have chosen to centre my project around a band called Public Service Broadcasting, and their song 'Go!'. I got contact of the bands manager through the 'contact us' tab on the bottom of the bands website, and they wrote back to me granting permission within 24 hours, which I was very grateful for. An advantage of choosing an indie band to base your work on is that generally they are more understanding of students' lack of funds, and often care more for evoking artistic and creative responses to their own work, rather than gaining financial credit from it. Public Service Broadcasting were very kind to grant me permission to use their song, and I hope I do not let them regret it.

Today I set up clearing space and organising how I wanted my set to look- as I am borrowing an artists' studio space, there was plenty of equipment and material that needed moving.  Sunday 8th October.  Filming day today, when we arrived at the studio it took a little while to work out how to block out the sun from the windows, we experimented a little bit with angle and how close the projector and camera would be before getting started.

However, it was heavily criticised that many of my posts were over-complicated, and I recognise myself that I invested much more time and energy into the quality of the posts over than the quantity of material covered, leading to a frantic rush to complete the blog in the run up to the deadline, the standard of my posts were inconsistent throughout. My directors influences post is one of my favourite explorations on my AS blog as it is one of the few that is simple and to the point. Picking three directors with three of their films gave me an opportunity to explain similarities and differences from the chosen films and my own to my 'audience' as well as further provoking my own inspiration and creativity. My textual analysis of American Psycho I felt was also effective due to its format. The prezi platform allowed me to explore ...

Excellent first evaluation. Kate used the screen shots to ably demonstrate links between her own product and real music videos. I would have like a shot of Button Moon though! Kate demonstrates a clear link between her video and ancillary texts. I think the response she got from the band was absolutely lovely but this post lacks a little in depth and some evidence of the feedback would ha...
