Well done to Ambar for the second week running, for her informative post on the way she is going to achieve the special effects in her music video. Blog on!

Blogger of the Week

Well done to Ambar for creating a very glamorous plan for her coursework website!

Really effective music video filmed on a train!

This week, Ambar found a fantastic video filmed entirely on public transport: Wolf Alice's 'Don't Delete the Kisses'. This is the epitomy of how you can achieve a great narrative through an everyday location - and something that could be achieved by a clevely-filmed student video, too.

Wolf Alice recently won the Mercury Prize for their album, 'Visions of a Life'.
