This picture shows how as a group we have begun to put down our ideas for our music video on the song grade 8. Each colour represents our groups thoughts with the Red being Darren's ideas, My ideas being in blue and alex's in brown. Between us we came up with very good ideas which we believe would have a good impact on our video when we begin to start filming. As we had a 2 hour lesson, we also began to research the genres and artists that are relevant to Ed Sheeran. We as a group decided to do between us 3 artists. I researched Jason Mraz, with Darren doing Ben Howard and Alex doing Jason Nuzuka. I researched into the main points about Jason Mraz and also began looking into the genres that Ed Sheeran is involved in. I came up with a few general points which we could use to link all the artists together. We then all looked at our chosen similar artists music videos to see if they all followed the same style. For my artist Jason Mraz, I found that there were smilarities in their videos like close ups of him singing and his acoustic guitar being in most of his shots but also differences such as the style and the pace of the videos. This gave me and the group some ideas about whether to follow the normal conventions or go against these. After this I began writing a conclusion based around my findings on these artists and jotted down some notes about what to do next lesson and also for my ancillery tasks to help me out in the future.

Here is my research:
