A2 Music Video Theory Blog

At A2 you will be studying Music Videos in preparation for your coursework. I have set up a brief blog which covers the basics of theory which you'll need for both your coursework and exam. This means that a potential 75% of you A2 grades are available for learning and applying these theories.

Those of you in my class should be familiar with Steve Neale's belief that 'genres' are instances of repetition and change, essentially that is what we'll be examining at A2. To get you thinking watch the clip below by Australian comedy trio 'Axis of Awesome', you should recognise 90% of the 'same' songs.
