How is A2 different from As?

Our A2 project proved to be significantly different to our As project, as there was more planning and research involved this year since we had to analyze different music videos in order to produce a professional looking music video using the features of the genre which we chose. As well as this, we had to do extensive research into cd covers and magazine adverts for our digipack which was also part of our project, which we did not need to in As, since we were producing a film opening and not a music video. There were some similarities however, as we had to produce a storyboard for one of the scenes of our music video, which was made easier by the fact that we already knew how to fill them in since we had learnt about and used for As. Also, we had to complete an evaluation for our music video, which was similar to As since we had to complete an evaluation for our opening sequence of a film in As, and some of the questions we similar to the ones this year. However, filming and editing proved to be more intense this year as we had to film and edit more footage, and we encountered a couple of problems, such as the equipment for the green room not working and Final Cut Pro: the editing software we used, constantly dropping frames on our footage, caused frustration amongst us and slowed the process down.

Overall, There was quite a significant difference from As however, but nothing we couldn't handle, and A2 proved to be more enjoyable than As as we all enjoyed the filming sessions and by being given the independence to get on with our production, we were more relaxed and confident with what we were doing, which is why we were able to create a high quality, professional looking music video.
