Ancillary Task and Overview

For my A2 media studies project, I have decided to create a music video, as I wanted to develop skills I learned at AS level, to hopefully use in my future at university. I decided to work alone, but before making this choice I considered the pros and cons of each situation.


advantages of group work:

• ability to bounce ideas off other people
• possibly more ideas as there are more people
• workload is shared so you have less to do personally

advantages of individual work:

• final decision on everything
• ability to change the project at will and not have to worry about what other people do
• work is guarenteed as you do it yourself
• high levels of control in the project.

The ancillary tasks I have decided on are a digipak for the CD and a magazine advert, due to the skills learned in my magazine task at GCSE. I did not choose the webpage as I have little experience in that area and I believe I could create the other tasks to a higher standard.
