<ul>
<li>This is the final cut for our music video, we are pleased with the outcome, and have had very positive feedback from fellow media students, teachers and friends.</li>
<li>The strengths of our video we believe was the narrative. We had focused a lot on the mise-en-scene of the video, making sure the location, lighting and weather was all appropriate for the video, and that it would work well in contrast with the performance, which we made sure to film on a sunny day, so it appears hyper-realistic, and conforms to Dyers theory, making the performer appear extraordinary.</li>
<li>Other strengths of our video include the balance between the performance, and the narrative. it was acknowledged that we had a good cutting rate between them, and made sure the versus were focused on the narrative, but had a deeper focus on the performance during the chorus of the song.</li>
<li>Some weaknesses of our video included the fact that we could have had more singing from the performer, as we only had a small amount of it, people felt that it needed to be clearer that she was the singer and was trying to represent the artist. </li>
<li>Another would be that we could have used more locations to keep it entertaining for our audience by changing the surroundings, or possibly even cross cut between the narrative, and manipulating time between the anti-social actions.</li>

<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today after having all the clips lined up, it was clear that the performance needed some differentiation from the narrative. So in order to achieve this effect I placed</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">a lens light leak clip over all the performance shots on video line 4. I then set the opacity of each leans light leak clip to about 35% before taking it down to 25% after playing the footage back and realising that the light leak footage was too dominant over the performance.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">This done, Andy created some title text using Adobe Photoshop which I then imported into the Premiere file to use as text overlays on some of the opening shots to be used as titles for the video. It was as simple as dragging the image onto the timeline on top of the desired shots and setting the opacity to the right level so as not to make the text appear too dominant but still enable it to be easily legible. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">Once all this was done it was simply a job of tweaking the video to iron out any minor faults. This included one lip syncing performance shot which had been nudged one or two frames out of time and cutting down one narrative shot before time stretching another very slightly in order to ensure the visuals cut in time with a drum beat on the track.</span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We did our final filming shoot on Sunday 8/12/13. During which we filmed the ending of our video, making sure we had the complete narrative and that the video had an ending, which we believed would be fitting, but at the same time be the climax of our video, which is when the video becomes controversial by including death, and breaks the stereotypes of the characters, and makes you challenge the ideologies of people. It will then allow the audience to decide for themselves who they believe were the victim in the video.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The strengths of the shoot were that we managed to film a convincing narrative, with a wide variety of movement and angles. We made sure it had a thrilling ending, and believed it related well to the narrative we wanted.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The weaknesses of our shoot, were the time restrictions as we were busy that day we had to film early and try and make sure we had enough footage filmed in the time we had. We managed to achieve this, but some shoots could have been re-filmed or shot from a different perspective or angle.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If we were to film again, I believe that it would be very similar, however we would make sure to plan in detail, and know exactly what we need to get done. We could have also attempted in filming many different ending to the video and see which one we believed worked the best, so we could have edited them a bit more and maybe combined a variety of shots, to increase the cutting rate, and make it appear more dramatic than it was.</span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During the past few days, I have developed the video significantly. First of all after the final shoot (strangling scene), I simply selected the usable footage and dragged it onto the timeline in order to roughly cut it up and see the order in which the shots went. After this, because it filled up so much of the timeline, I was forced to cut it down </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">further in order to make it fit. </span></li>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On top of this, I then re-arranged all three scenes (shoplifting, car theft, strangling), into order. This was important as these three scenes were the basis for our video. After positioning them I had to select some of the weaker shots to cut out in order to make all the scenes fit in. Also, where there were some cuts that did not make complete sense, I had to mark where these were on the timeline by dragging the two shots up onto the 'video 2' line so I would know where I absolutely had to cut in performance shots to ensure the narrative made sense. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">Also I used marker points on the timeline in order to mark where the key turning points in the track were, such as where singing started/stopped, and where the music dropped. These markers were helpful as they enabled me to line up appropriate shots in order to help sync the visuals and audio together to enhance audience understanding. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">After Andy had lined up all the lip syncing for the performance to the music, this allowed me to easily see where I needed to cutaway from the narrative to include singing to the camera shots. This in turn meant I didn't spend time editing the clips around the track only to find out I had missed out on a chance to intercut performance. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">I used the 'video 3' line to display to singing parts of the performance and then the 'video 4' line in order to display the performance shots that were not singing. This made it easier to identify which clips I had left to cut in, and also it meant that I could drag the performance shots over the top of the narrative without having to cut the narrative footage to save time.</span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our final versions of the print work are slightly altered compared to the last development post. Firstly, we were happy with the overall look of the advert except for the fact everything was over on the left hand side. So in order to counteract this, we came to the decision to stretch the text that said 'With Myon and Shane 54 feat. Tove Lo' out so it reached the other side of the page. Not only did this make the advert feel less like everything was on the left hand side, it also made the text slightly more legible.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another minor alteration to the advert was the font of the text that said 'Strangers'. In order to link the advert to the digipak we needed to have a consistent font between the two. We used the same font we had on the digipak and applied it to the advert. On top of this we then reduced the opacity down to about 50% as having the text dark black made it stand out a bit too much and ruined the leading line.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A minor adjustment to the poster as a whole was that we moved all the text up slightly to fill out the space a bit more and to help make the 'Seven Lions' text stand out more as it was contrasted against a darker background due to the gradient at the top.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">The digipak had a little more work done to it. We added another pane which included our performance actor which we felt helped relate to both the video and the advert. We enlarged it and used the contrast/brightness tools to give it a black and white effect. The enlarged size along with high contrast and brightness meant that we were easily able to add a short paragraph of text about the artist which we wanted to include somewhere on the digipak to help promote artist image as someone the audience could relate to rather than constructing a hyper real star like we did with the performance aspect of the video. This is also another reason we decided to turn the image of the performance actor into black and white: so as to maintain the hyper real star image that is given to her in the video and advert.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Text was added to the back panel which included a web link to the artist Seven Lions along with a track list and copyright information. We didn't want the copyright information to alter the leading line of the back panel so we used the character adjustment tool to make the text much thinner and reduce the spacing between each letter in order to condense the writing to fit in-between the barcode and the record label logo. We then changed the font colour to white to make it visible over the background image.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">The Soundcloud link was placed at the top of the page so as not to interfere with the track list. Also to aid this a different font was chosen to help further differentiate the web link from the track list.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">The track list its self used the same font that was used to state the featuring artists to keep the theme of the advert and digipak going. This also allowed the white space created by adjusting the brightness of the background image to be filled easier as the font used was tall and skinny.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The last change was the sleeve we added between the front and back cover. Because the two images were similar but used different colour alteration techniques, they clashed when they met and the back cover image looked out of place. We feel that the white sleeve broke them up enough to not make the back cover look too out of place. We decided to just put the main artist and the song title on there to stop it from looking too crowded as there was not much room on the sleeve. We then put the Seven Lions logo in the middle of both pieces of text to help separate them both.</span></li>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is the almost finished work of our print work, showing our advert, which we believe to be almost finished, and our digipak which is still currently in development.</span></li>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our advert needs a few points adjusting before we believe it is finalised, one in particular we believe that the typography used for the word 'Strangers' needs to be changed to something more fitting for the advert, and that relates to the digipak and music video.</span></li>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The digipak is still being made currently, and we are positive that the front cover is finished, as we have had numerous praises of it, and are confident it links well with the posters as well as believing it comes across as a realistic album cover. The rest needs improving, but we are confident with our print work overall, and believe it will be very successful. </span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The rough cut we presented to the rest of the class included the shot idea where both characters are pictured walking away from the camera using similar framing in slow motion. This idea went down well, but one suggestion was that we use this as a closing shot to the track instead of locating it near the beginning. To expand on this thought, we have decided to use this advice and consequently film a prequel sequence to the car theft whereby the chav actually gets in his car to make the narrative clearer.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another comment we received was that the meaning of the juxtaposition was not yet clear. On top of filming the prequel to stealing the car, the group has decided to try and include more shots of both characters in frame to exaggerate the meaning of the contrast between them both. With these plans and the shoplifting shoot coming up we are confident that the meaning will be presented clearly. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We received a lot of questions regarding if there was to be more performance aspects incorporated into the video. Our re-shoot last weekend answered most of these questions though as we did not put many performance shots into the video. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another concern was the length of some of the clips - it was suggested they need to be cut down and we took this on board. The clips shown in our rough cut were not fully cut as we would have liked them to be so it's just a matter of getting round to cutting them to a shorter length.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the positive side, a consensus response was that we had incorporated lots of A* camera shots along with lots of camera movement to keep the audience interested. Responses also said we had fulfilled the mark scheme criteria of using a tripod when necessary and showing a mix of long range to close up shots. On top of this, the few seconds we had properly edited showed we had a done a good job of balancing the narrative alongside performance and filler shots in order to make the video seem less like a documentary.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">Something else as a group we thought we excelled in was that, compared to another group who were doing a performance video we felt our performance shots looked a lot more convincing, in the sense that our actor looked like she matches the grain of voice heard on the soundtrack and that her lip syncing worked effectively: it was in time, and she put enough emphasis on her mouth movements to ensure the audience believes she is singing rather than mouthing the lyrics.</span></li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">On this shoot we got plenty of shots: every action we filmed, we managed to capture multiple angles and not only does this mean we have enough footage to fill up the timeline, but it allows us to be flexible when editing as we have a range of angles or camera movements to chose from whilst deciding which shots to use.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">We managed to get a lot more done in a much shorter space of time during this shoot because we had planned ahead thoroughly and we knew exactly what shots needed to be filmed and how much of the total timeline this scene was going to fill up.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">We maintained continuity in all of our shots and made sure any unwanted mise en scene such as litter was out the way of the framing in this shoot.</span> </li>
</ul>
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Weaknesses</span></strong><br />
<ul>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP_iJjEY5XxsFa4biv5YUoHGyoeG-5ZaQDJexezxIZFBAumkqyiZgVl8xBW4hgvhrrdoU_pSZGHNjIQLpohReVxb9ucu9FrwHz5wohm5GJ__e8iaEM7dcGcJ8dS_eEQDRWIPiI3vxl_tPm/s1600/BLOG+PIC+1.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP_iJjEY5XxsFa4biv5YUoHGyoeG-5ZaQDJexezxIZFBAumkqyiZgVl8xBW4hgvhrrdoU_pSZGHNjIQLpohReVxb9ucu9FrwHz5wohm5GJ__e8iaEM7dcGcJ8dS_eEQDRWIPiI3vxl_tPm/s200/BLOG+PIC+1.png" width="186" /></a>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">Only two of us shooting made it tricky to include many shots with both characters present without the shots themselves being filmed from a static tripod - this is something that is hard to overcome due to availability of others willing to get involved with our project.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">Despite us doing everything we could to ensure continuity was kept, we could not help the fact that one car left midway through our shoot and another parked next to the area we were using for filming. Although the car that left could not help being present/not present in the remainder of our shots, we feel it will not be noticed by the audience as they will be too concentrated on the meanings behind the narrative and the actual characters themselves to notice. We did well to not include the car that parked next to us in any of the shots we had left to do although this did limit our choice of angles and camera movement somewhat.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">There was only one location we filmed in - excluding the few outside shots of the rich character walking into the car park. However, we feel we used a good variety of shots and a good quantity of camera movement to make the singular location more exciting. Also this single location problem should be overcome during post production when we have footage from more locations to edit in as well to the track.</span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The brief was to create a magazine advert and digipak in conjunction with the music video in order to create and promote a cohesive band image.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We chose to design an A4 portrait right hand page advert for EDM (Electronic Dance Music) magazine. This suits the genre of the track as the track itself is dubstep/edm, and the main focus of the magazine is edm. Also therefore will relate to our target audience of predominantly male 13-30 year olds. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Use of visual motifs seen throughout the print campaign such as the stars image reinforce the juxtaposition between the two characters as the stars signify the space between the two personalities of the characters. Another visual motif used in the print campaign is the Seven Lions logo/text. This is used to remind the audience of the artist and therefore help promote the artist himself. This seems to be a common theme seen through his previous digipak covers as the leading line is always the Seven Lions logo and we are aiming to replicate this in our print work. </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">The leading line therefore in both our digipak and advert will be the Seven Lions logo/text. </span></li>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The back cover is a section about the artist (Seven Lions) and includes; a barcode, record label logo, and the white/black contrasting theme. The picture of the artist will hopefully be replaced by a picture of the girl who lip syncs to the video if we can get an appropriate photo.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIYnw2efEHNZ1SQT05DuEeIh7veiJhJobiaGa0gduAXvKI1EF3jEmAPCWsH41v2xHKxQgFdQo1CQm_nj7L3fOCAlZsj6iacoM2EJjbIU2gexIFSuBTjH1BcSSG-GqcMErQ2wUSzi1ZRZ29/s1600/Seven-Lions-Days-To-Come-EP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIYnw2efEHNZ1SQT05DuEeIh7veiJhJobiaGa0gduAXvKI1EF3jEmAPCWsH41v2xHKxQgFdQo1CQm_nj7L3fOCAlZsj6iacoM2EJjbIU2gexIFSuBTjH1BcSSG-GqcMErQ2wUSzi1ZRZ29/s200/Seven-Lions-Days-To-Come-EP.jpg" width="186" /></a></div>
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">The front cover contains the leading line (Seven Lions text/logo), along with other included artists and the Strangers title. The group is undecided over whether to take a picture to put on the front or whether to invert one half of the pane to fit with the half and half contrasting look.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">The extra panel is simply an image we took during our first filming trip in Brighton and contains the stars edited in to maintain the theme of stars throughout the digipak.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">The CD panel contains the Seven Lions logo along with the image of stars which keeps the theme of stars/space going whilst promoting star image.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">The left and right inside panels will contain photos of both characters in contrasting locations. The chav in a rougher area with a graffiti wall behind him, and the richer guy in a more up market area. Both will be looking at the camera to challenge the audience who consume this digipak - as if to say that the issues raised in the video could happen to anyone, even the audience.</span></li>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In both the digipak and the advert black text can be seen on a black background with a white box behind the text to make it visible. Not only does this link the two pieces of print work together, but it links the print work to the video in the sense that both characters contrast each other, just as the black and white colour scheme contrasts. The prints and video are also interlinked to create a cohesive artist image through the image of stars. The stars are used to signify the space (or distance) between the two characters showing that they are opposites to each other i.e. Strangers - which is the concept both the video and print work are based around.</span></li>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dyer's star image is constructed in the fact the artist is present but not present in the print work. The fact his logo is on the advert and digipak, and the short paragraph about him is located on the digipak helps construct audience awareness of the artist and raise his profile. But at the same time he is not present as no images of him are shown on either the advert or the digipak, (although there is one present on the digipak at the moment, this is for demonstration purposes and will be removed for the final product). This present yet not present effect leaves the audience wanting more of the artist - so whilst being satisfied with his presence in the form of logos, the audience are left ultimately unsatisfied with the lack of actual presence of him through the use of images.</span></li>

<li>We are planning our next couple of filming shoots for Saturday 16/11/13, as well as Tuesday 19/11/13. We have decided that for some of the shots it would be efficient and useful to film within Tunbridge Wells, as it means it is easy for us to access and film some quick shots which we can add to our video.</li>
<li>On Saturday, Rochelle and I will be filming the performance aspect of the video. I will focus on getting as many as different shots as possible, highlighting first person mode of address predominantly, so we are able to cut between this and the narrative. I will use a few long shots to establish the location, but focus on the close ups, as these are the meat shots of the video. I will try and include some movement as well while filming to make it conventional of a music video, and try to use as little static shots as possible.</li>
<li>The Tuesday filming, George and myself will film some more of the narrative. We will be filming in Tunbridge Wells as well, as we will be filming during lunch and afternoon of the school day, so it is much easier to access by doing this. We will visit various areas around the town, places which fit the scenario for each character, and we will get the bulk of the shots we need to bring the music video together. By the end we should have more than enough shots, but if any are missing, or need re-filming, we can do this easily by revisiting the location.</li>

<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Following our lesson tod</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ay, we have attempted to blend an image of stars into the photo we took of the sea in Brighton using Adobe Photoshop. However, with each of us having limited experience using the program, we found this task not to be so simple. Eventually we decided using the blur tool along with the burn/dodge brushes in order to effectively blend the sky of the beach photo with the bottom of the starry photo. Below we can see that both images are very different colours. Alongside this, we noticed that the sun reflects over the middle of the sea causing a big light patch in the middle. Considering we plan to edit the stars over the top of the sky, we will need to find a way to get rid of this light patch and darken it in order to make it blend in with the rest of the sea.</span></li>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also during the lesson the group decided on a font to use </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">for the part of the title that says 'with Myon and Shane 54'. The font we chose was Movie Letters (seen below), as we aim to replicate the layout of text used in another of Seven Lion's album covers, (also seen below).</span></div>

The group wants to promote band image on top of the half and half resemblance of strangers. For this reason, we have come to the decision to include the </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">seven lions logo on the side where the CD goes, as not only does this help to construct band image but it fits well with the circular shape of the CD. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have decided to promote the digipak as a single rather than an album as this will allow us to focus on the strangers concept of the singular song as opposed to having to create a whole album image and therefore stray from the strangers aspect.</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

We aim to create a weightless, magical look whilst maintaining the half and half concept that our video is based on as not only does this link to the video, it also links to helping maintain artist image further. Another concept we took from this single cover is the use of stars - we feel this is a theme that could be carried on into our own design as it makes a visually pleasing backdrop but also keeps in tune with the magical/wispy theme.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">So far as actual images go, we took a few pictures during our first filming session in Brighton that are usable to incorporate into one or two of the panels. We still need some more but we plan to capture some more during other filming sessions or take stills from the footage if we don't take a picture we find suitable. Both of these images we feel we can use but feel they will need heavy editing to go for the magical, wispy look we are aiming for. We were thinking to maybe edit some stars into the sky of the photo of the beach, and cut out the graffiti from the picture on the left to use on the cover somewhere.</span></div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We could not find the exact Seven Lions font shown on the Strangers digipak above, but we have been able to find a similar font called Eagle Book. This font contains similar N's to the one's found in the Seven Lions font, but the S's don't look the same. With some editing and resizing we believe we can make an accurate replica of the Seven Lions font to include on our digipak. In the image below, the original seven lions font is on top whilst Eagle Book font is shown underneath.</span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Back cover:</strong> Paragraph about the artist (possible picture of Rochelle the performance actor, edited to look similar to that of the girl on the original Strangers single cover)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Front cover:</strong> Half and half picture of Brighton or 50/50 page split including characters inspired by Sliding doors, (see rough draft to right)</span></li>

<li>Our first filming shoot was a good experience for us as a group. The main benefit from the shoot was that we got a sense of what we wanted to include in our video, and were able to plan shots out effectively, and collaborate as a group to decide upon what our narrative will contain, and how it will all piece together as a whole.</li>
</ul>
<u>Strengths:</u><br />
<ul>
<li>We got some effective shoots from the shoots, and now have a rough outline of our narrative, with some ideas with what we can film next time, and what shots we will film on our next trip. We have also got enough filler shots to use from the trip, and we are confident we have an effective and strong opening to the video that will fit in nicely with the music.</li>
<li>From the shoot, we also took a variety of photos which we believe are good enough to be able to use in our print work. We have decent location photos which can easily be manipulated to fit our poster or digipak, we need some photos of the characters in the video now, and then we will have enough to edit together and begin working on the print work.</li>
</ul>
<u>Weaknesses:</u><br />
<ul>
<li>The weaknesses from our first shoot, was the availability of the people involved. It was difficult for us to find a day or time when all members were available while simultaneously filming on a day where the weather was decent enough.</li>
<li>We also had the problem of deciding on what would work when we filmed, and how we should do it best. We struggled to find the best locations, where it was quiet enough to film and also a good location to use which would be effective in our narrative. </li>
</ul>
<u>Improvements:</u><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>The improvements we plan on making, are ensuring that we film the majority of the day so we can make sure we have enough clips to use when it come to editing. We will also re-film a lot of the clips from different angles with different movements, to be able to cut between the shots.</li>
<li>We will also make sure we have a more detailed plan when going to the location, and being confident with the places we visit, knowing that it will look good when we go, and fit in well with the narrative.</li>
<li>We have also planned to go on our next filming shoot on the weekend, to have some of the performance filmed. This will allow us to begin editing a lot of our footage together in the following week, while also being able to start on the print work, as we will also photograph during the day. </li>

<li>During the course of the lesson, George uploaded all the clips we had filmed during the holidays onto the computer, backing up the copies of the files we had. We then together began looking through the clips highlighting the ones we thought were effective, and what ideas we could come up with, in reference to how they would fit in our music video. </li>
<li>We also then went through the photos as well, and came up with ideas, of how the digipak might look with some of the photos might look incorporated in.</li>
<li>I also did a reflection the first shoot, and how effective it was. From doing this I believe we can now highlight our weak areas and hopefully improve on them during the next shoot, making sure we film the required clips, and plan the trips more effectively.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>We Have agreed to drive down to Brighton on the day, bringing with us all the equipment that is necessary to bring, which will also allow us to use the car for any tracking shots we wish to use on the day, without the hassle of setting up and bringing a track with us. </li>
<li>We have booked out all the equipment necessary for the day, picking it up on the day before half-term, and will be returning it all the following day. we need to however get the call sheet, and risk assessment filled in before we go to make sure we are all aware of the problems and issue that may arise or be faced with.</li>
<li>I am also going to bring my own camera to take some photographs of the location, and of the cast. We will then have some pictures to use for our print ideas on location, and see how well they would link in with our video, and start thinking of some ideas we could go with when we create it.</li>
<li>The people involved are all ready and prepared for the date we have agreed. The people who will be going are George (Actor/Camera-man), myself (Camera-man) and Rochelle (Actress).</li>
<li>We plan to spend the whole day in Brighton, filming for the majority of it, trying to get as many clips as possible as to be sure that we are not short when it comes to editing it all together. The locations we will visit primarily are the lanes, where all the shops are, which will be useful to be able to use the crows as part of our filming, and use them as extras. We will also visit the beach front, where we will be able to use the location to add to the mise-en-scene when filing the performance aspect of the video.</li>
<li>We hope to include a wide variety of shots in the video, but focusing mainly on close ups and movement shots, to make the video conventional of a music video. We also do not want a lot of similar shots, so we want to include such shots as 360 pans, low/high angles, canted angles etc. </li>
<li>There are a variety of problems which may come into effect on the day, predominantly one being the weather. If the weather is bad on the day, it may lead to the whole video looking boring, and would involve a lot of work in post-production to make it look good, which would involve a lot of colour correction, and colour grading. Another may be the reliability of the crew, we have all agreed on the day, but if someone becomes ill on the day, we cannot carry on with the shoot. </li>
