- 1. Contextual Statement before I started college, I havealways been interested in doing advertisement and filming images and more, I have chosen to do a music video becauseI know I am very strong in print based products for this I can do merchandise and more. Furthermore, I havealways enjoyed films and videos that others have made and the freedom that you havewhen creating these types of products as I am able to be creative. Over the years that I havedone media through secondary and college as I have been doing media for over 6 years, I am very confident in creating a professionalproduct that will interest my target audience. I know that I will create something that is very creative and interesting for my target audience as I have been researching lots of varied products this starts fromdifferent genres media from brand adverts such as print based to films and videos as this has allowed me to learn a wide range of different types of media on a widebases this enables me to have a larger target audience as I am capable of making my products moreinteresting for a wider range audience. As over the years I have learnt from secondary how to make comic strips and magazine/ posters with somevideo being involved as we mainly did photoshop which is print based work so when I started college and started doing my course, I had already developed somestrengths in mainly print based designs, but I also learn how to use somebasic tech unique a through some softwaresuch as photoshop, premier pro. So, I believe that I am very strong in what I can create as I have a strong understanding of my audience and how to be able to make a creative and interesting designs. Now that I started college three years ago I havenow know moreadvanced and technical skills and tools to make moreinteresting designs and more complexed ideas that I can makeeffectively for example I can now make pixel art and add animation to it through photoshop and premier pro, when it comes to video I havegot more advanced with premier pro as I am now using slow motion effects and various transitions I havelearnt to use in between clips and footage to make my products more entertaining for my target audience. Furthermore, I believe that I will create a productthat my target audience will find interesting and creative becauseI have had a lot of practises using varies softwareand different hardwaretools through my years of media as I can use complex and advanced tools such as graphic tablets and more to help me to create a more professionalproductas I havebeen working on my weaknesses throughoutmy time at college. I have done this by practising my editing skills in premier pro as I can now use morecomplexed skills and tools

Therefore, I believe that I am ready to do my fmp as I know all the skills that I need to be able to complete the productin a creative way. The reason to why I know how to do this is because u havebeen practising for years and I have always been researching and developing my skills as I havebeen watching other content creators as to how they create their videos and how they create their effects this has helped me to be able to preparemyself for this project. As this is my last year in media learning new skills before, I go and get a career in media I believe that I have learnt more than enough skills to be able to create interesting products for my target audience as I know how to get my audience to engage with my work in the way that I want them to. For example I am able to get a bigger audience then I am anticipating this is through my secondary audiencesuch as if my target audience was for kids between the ages off 10-14 I know thatmy secondary audiencewill be teachers and parents a good example of a company that shows us this would be Disney as they use jokes that only the older audience will understand this is to keep them interested in the film as well as the target audience. This is something that I will be wanting to usein my work to make my productmore interesting for my audience viewing my work as I want it to be interactive and interesting for my audience. I will be using all the softwarethat I am strong in to create an interesting productfor my audience as I will be using photoshop, premier pro and after effects to create my work on this is becauseit is my strongestarea in media as I know all the tools and advanced editing skills with in the softwareas I can create interesting transitions for my audience as this will keep them interested in my work as they will not get bored off what they are watching. I will be making the clips/ footage match the speed of the music I will do this by slowing down the clips/ footagewith slow motion or if it goes quick, I will add in a lot of transitions I will also be using lots of tools to create this such as the blending options in photoshop to make certain clips darker or lighter to interest my audience.
