Research timetable version 1

October 2014

RESEARCH
The purpose of my research is to compile and investigate information which is relevant for my goal of music video production. Here is what I plan to do in this section. I will add to it and make note of any changes made.


21st - Start of Project

  • Finish the timetable
  • Introduce myself to Blogger and start to use it
  • Make a plan of what I will do in the 'Research' section (this is it)

24th - Music video introduction

  • What is a music video? And what is its purpose?
  • Three areas of the 'Research' section; Style, Representation and Genre.
  • Make a start on investigating the first one

28th - Investigating Style

  • Look into types of music video, for example abstract or narrative, and find an example video for four of them to illustrate its meaning
  • Find a quote to illustrate a viewpoint (from a text) and compare my own opinion 
  • Evaluate the use of the investigation; how it has informed me (project objective)

31st - Investigating Representation

  • Analyse two music videos and discuss how icons/stars are represented
  • Find a quote to illustrate a viewpoint (from a text) and compare my own opinion
  • Evaluate the use of the investigation; how it has informed me (project objective)

November 2014

4th - Investigating Genre

  • Find and discuss two videos which are 'typical' in reflecting their genre of music
  • Find a quote to illustrate a viewpoint (from a text) and compare my own opinion
  • Evaluate the use of the investigation; how it has informed me (project objective)

7th - Primary research

  • Conduct my own research to find the views of the public, asking about:
  • The type of a music video
  • Representation in music videos
  • Genre of music in a music video
  • Then apply these to my areas of research to bring in more detail to inform me on my choices when making my own video
11th - Visit Cambridge Libraries, from 10:30 to 13:00
  • Go to Cambridge Libraries to obtain interesting quotes to add to Genre and Representation investigations
  • Update my blog entries with the information, and also with responses to primary research
