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.
