My research skills for this project have definitely developed in comparison to that which I conducted for last year's AS course. For one, I have focused my research much more – in the AS unit, I researched thrillers as a whole, which is a wide genre. However, for the promotional music package that we will be creating, we have a specific song and artist. Because of this, it is much easier to research with relevancy e.g. targeting music videos with a similar style to the song we've chosen in order to establish the codes and conventions of that genre. Unsurprisingly, YouTube has been a major source of research because of the ability to search and view virtually any music video, on demand. A major difference this year is also the fact that we have been studying different theories and looking in-depth at the industry that relates to our project, whereas last year, we only briefly touched on the film industry. Additionally, I have been looking at different articles to expand my knowledge of the music industry, which I previously did not need to.
