Production Diary - Summer Work

Over the summer I have completed various pieces of work looking into the music industry. Firstly I looked at the history of music, I found this really interesting and think that this will help me to develop a further understanding of the industry and the production of music videos before making my own. I also looked at the definition of being a star to help me when creating the image of my artist. I chose to look at Beyonce because she is one of the biggest stars around, often being referred to as 'Queen B', so I thought that looking at her own image and history would be most useful to establish an artist who would have a wide fan base. I then briefly thought of some ideas for my own piece as something to build upon in the future. I then looked more personally into my own experiences with music and how my taste in music has grown throughout my life, this was interesting to consider how the music I listen to has altered and broadened and will help me to consider my target audience for my artist.
I think that carrying out this work is extremely useful as a start into the research of the music industry and has given me some inspiration into what I would like to do for my own video.
