coursework summer project 2025

 Summer project tasks


Complete the following tasks on a blogpost on your Media blog called 'Summer Project: coursework planning':

1) Research: Music videos

Watch the following music videos and analyse an aspect of media language for each one:

Music video 1: Marshmello x YUNGBLUD x blackbear - Tongue Tied

How is narrative used in this music video to engage the audience?

The video tells a clear story of people being chased and captured which makes the audience want to keep watching to see what happens also the dystopian setting is familiar from films and games so it attracts audiences who enjoy action and sci-fi which add to the large fan base of these musicians 


Music video 2: Years & Years - I Wish I Knew

How is camerawork and mise-en-scene used in this video? Use CLAMPS to remember the different aspects of mise-en-scene.

Costume - Casual and colourful clothing makes the performers look relatable and modern
Lighting - Soft and warm lighting creates a calm and emotional atmosphere
Actors - The lead singer shows emotion through facial expressions and movement helping the audience connect with the lyrics
Setting - Intimate spaces like bedrooms make it feel personal

Close-ups highlight emotion and connect the audience with the performer.

Music video 3: Foals - Hummer

How is editing used in this music video to engage the audience?

The video uses fast-paced cuts that match the speed and energy of the music and the Montage editing keeps the video exciting and unpredictable

Music video 4: Your choice

Select a music video of your choice and analyse an element of it e.g. narrative, camerawork, editing, visual effects etc. If you're not sure which video to use you could watch some of the following:


The video uses a lot of close-ups of Ed Sheeran and the female side character this helps show emotion and connection and makes the story feel personal while also connecting the audience together 


2) Music video planning 

Plan out the basic details for your music video. What song do you plan to use? Will your video be performance or narrative based (or both)? Complete the following on your blog:


Actors/performers you plan to use: cousins / sister 

Locations: library or home or office

Costume/make-up/props required: book 


3) Statement of Intent

On the same Summer Project blogpost, write the rough first draft of your 300-word Statement of Intent for the two-minute music video you plan to create. The final draft of this document will be submitted to the exam board alongside your music video production and is worth 10 marks of the overall 60 marks available.
