Lesson 3: July 2nd

To be completed by the end of the lesson:

1. In two groups, identify as many different music genres as possible. 
2. Choose 3 and begin to brainstorm what you would expect to see in a typical video for this genre. Make reference to both technical features and more obvious visual elements such as costume, make-up, performance (mise-en-scene) 
3. Using a Pinboard style website, such as Pintrest or try http://www.voxmagazine.com/blog/2012/12/10-alternatives-to-pinterest/ and http://mashable.com/2013/06/27/pinterest-alternatives/ create a selection of key features for at LEAST 1 genre. However, you MUST do a different genre to someone else in your group. (By the end of the lesson, we should have a range of differing genres to look at for inspiration) 
4. Embed this on your blog and explain what you created and why. The better examples of these will use embedded videos to prove that your ideas are based on fact. 

Websites to consider:
http://dribbble.com/
http://notcouture.notcot.org/
https://svpply.com/
http://dwellinggawker.com/
http://designspiration.net/
http://www.siteinspire.com/
http://www.baubauhaus.com/
http://fontsinuse.com/
http://notventures.notcot.org/


You may want to use more than one to find and store different images, for example Fontsinuse.com for the style of writing you might use in a music video (and later when designing the cd cover) and notventures.notcot.org to store images of locations.

 Homework, for July 9th. 

1. Select 5 songs that you would potentially like to make a video for. Embed these on your blog with a simple explanation why for each. 
2. Create a pinboard of initial ideas for ONE of your songs. This should include ideas on things like locations, costumes, props, location for your chosen song.
