Statement of Intent

I’m Thomas Faulkner studying A2 Media Studies at York College. This blog is dedicated to the portfolio of the A2 Media Studies coursework. Previously I have created a similar portfolio for AS Media Studies that I completed last college year. The URL for this blog is http://tomfaulknermedia.tumblr.com, which is a Music Magazine project. The project this time will be different as it will cover the planning, production and evaluation of a music video and a digipak that will coincide with this. This will be different as the previous coursework covered only the print based side of the media, however this time, along with the print based media I will introduce video media.  Throughout this blog the work will be displayed in multiple media formats to ensure the coursework will be easily accessed and understood.


During this project I wish to widen my knowledge of the different media areas. As I am a keen photographer and video maker I hope to learn new techniques and management skills which will help me in the future. Such as timing, budget and organization of the cast and crew that will be needed. I am also very interested in the production area of video making so I hope to gain more experience with the equipment needed to film the music video and the digital editing software that will be used as well. I hope to gain skills throughout the digipak side of the coursework. I hope to widen the knowledge that I learned in the previous coursework and create and more professional look to it.
