Description of the project

The project was for their 'Music Video Production' unit on the 2nd Year of their BTEC National Diploma in Media Production at Newark College. After they had chosen 'Gomenasai' as their song they decided they would need performers for the video so approached the BTEC National Diploma in Performing Arts at the college. After talking to their tutor, who was also excited at the project, we arranged that the performing arts students contribution to the video could be assessed against units for their qualification too so the rehearsals were videoed for that purpose and the final video could also count towards their units. So apart from being a great 'real' project for the media students it was counting towards their grades and also the performing arts students grades and for the staff at college it was great as it was two courses working together which is seen as a real positive.

The chance for the students work to be put onto the bands internet sites is fantastic, a potential worldwide audience, plus the chance for feedback from Alexander himself is incredible for them and something that they can put in their CV's and the 3 media students are currently writing their statements for the applications to University when they leave us in the summer and they have included this project in the statements and that is a great thing for them to include.

Hi, I'm also one of the students who made this and would like to also say that the poor quality is also due (in the most part actually) to the fact that once uploaded to youtube, the footage became pixelated. The version we all have is much better and it's unfortunate that this is like it is.

But like xCoyoteUglyx says, it's the idea which is what we want you focus on.

Thanks for the comment tho :-D

hiya, i was one of the students working on this video, we know how bad the quality is but after all we were working with college equipment and a small space. it wasnt so much the quality of the video but the idea itself being put into play. we had hoped that viewers would imagine what it would look like if we had the proper scenery and such and imagine what it would look like as a real music video.
