Today my media class and I attended a talk in relation to our music videos at the BFI. The main speaker at the event was Tom Woodcock. He took us through the progression of music videos throughout history and how they've changed. In addition to that he gave us advice on how to obtain the highest marks for our videos and showed us videos from previous A Level candidates.
Below is the presentation he showed to us:
Below is the first video Tom showed us. The videos from the 1930s seemed to play around with colour and texture, it seems to be very different to what to appears it music videos today.
