Now that you have your Music Video and your Digipak which features the music video song, you need to design a website to promote the new video, digipak and the performer.

This is how the overall product is described in the CiE specification and below is also what they will be expecting to see in the research, planning, development and evaluation of the package, including the Website.

This website is going to pull all your branding, productions together and work as an online promotion for your performer.

First of all though, as with all Media Production – you need to know the ground rules – the basics; those technical terms to describe the media forms and analyse the conventions.

Now that you know the general ‘raison d’etre’ of websites and the basic terminology involved in their design, it is now your turn as an individual and as a group, to complete the following tasks over the next couple of weeks.

• Blog Post 1 – individual description and analysis of a couple of music websites and annotate for the technical forms and conventions (terminology).
  • Use the glossary and terms from the above presentation.
• Blog Post 2 – a group Screencastify on a particular music website – describe its use of web page features and analysing it for meaning linked to star image & branding. Use the terminology.
• Blog Post 3 – an individual analysis of previous student’s work.
• Blog Post 4 – a group flow chart showing how your website will work in terms of pages and a discussion about your preferred and chosen platform (Wix, Weebly or Divi).

You can then find a free template on Wix, Weebly or design your own on Divi (if you are in Mr Gs online portfolio class) and get creative.

Everything needs to be done by half-term so that when we come back after half-term we can complete the final Creative Critical Reflections.

Good luck.
