Why create a practice piece?

Creating our practice piece will give us a head start into the course. We will get the chance to create a music video like what we will complete for our final A2 piece. Doing so will give us an advantage, as it's an opportunity to try out initial ideas and get a general idea of filming music videos and the promotion behind them. Our practice piece will consist of an advert promotion for the band/ song of our choice; creation of a CD cover and our own take on filming a music video. In evaluation, we will be able to analyse the pro's and con's of our practice piece; build on our initial ideas and make our final A2 piece even better!
