The Start of A2

The task we have been set this year is to create a promotion package for the release of an album, to include music promo video, together with two of the following.
A cover for it release as part of digipak (CD/DVD Package)
A magazine advertisement for the digipak CD/DVD Package)

What I understand about this is we have to take up the role of a record producer and produce as well as create and distribute a new artist. My group and I have to use original music from an existing artist or band. We will use the song to help us create a music video which we will then edit in class. The song will be part of album and we will then create an album cover using Photoshop. Finally we have to make a CD and magazine cover which represent our artist. There has to be some sort of continuity between the three products which link them all together. For example some sort theme or concept.
The work within this unit will assess our ability to:
1) Plan and construct media products using appropriate technical and creative skills.
2) Assess our application of knowledge and understanding in evaluating our own work, showing how meanings and responses are created.
3) Assess our ability to undertake, apply and present appropriate research.
