Music Video blogging - How to get a chance of Level 3/4 mark.

Ideally we need to see 3 case study research of music videos in your chosen genre on your INDIVIDUAL blog.

For the GROUP BLOG you need to submit 1 music video analysis.

Looking at the blogs so far you will not be achieving the criteria of excellent research into Music Video with only 1 or 2 music video research blog submissions. 

 The OCR examiner needs to see that specific research into your media form (music video) has informed your production practise. This will create a sense of a research journey- a unique record of your project.
