Production Journal 9

Myself and my partner filmed Paula's dance scene in the dance studio in our school.


Yesterday me and Sybill my other group member filmed Paula's dancing bit in a dance studio. Overall filming was really good because we knew exactly what we wanted the dancers to do because we had previously informed them about it for a week so, they already practiced the dance. It took us roughly an hour to film everything in total. Firstly, we filmed Paula dancing in the dance studio with other dancers and we tried to get them from many angles so we have a variety of shots to choose from.

Lastly, we filmed Paula walking down the hill this is where we filmed her seeing the logos of DJ DELIRIOUS around the area. We had problems with people and cars going past and that set us back a couple of minutes so, it got dark whilst we were waiting for the people to walk past but overall we got a lot of footage we could choose from.

Evaluation

Final Final Poster

I hadn't put the logo on this which is a necessity as the logo is what associates each media text with each other.

Final Final Digipak

I hadn't included the logo which is a necessity as the logo appears numerous times in our music video.

Final Music Video

Revised Release Poster

After having showed my release poster to my teacher, she said that it is not identifiable with my digipak, nor is it an original image, therefore, I decided to change my poster and make the image the same image that is on the front cover of my digipak.

Feedback from Class and Teacher (Music video)

On the whole, the comments me and my partner received were much better than the first time we showed our music video as it was actually finished. The following are comments we received:
  • Most of our class members liked it, especially the club scene with the slow motion effect.
  • They liked the ending, although they thought it would good if we had the logo at the end.
  • We were told that we needed more close ups of the logo.
  • Although it was slow to begin, it picks up pace as it progresses.
  • The story was told well.
  • It's a pity that people are wearing school uniform in the club scene.
  • Include text at the beginning.
  • The end isn't very strong.
  • Perhaps finish with a shot of the logo or make the logo cascade over the screen
  • Church shots need to be cropped.
  • Lacks pace, edits not fast enough.
  • No noticable close ups of logo.

Digipak-Final






I made the from cover brighter because the feedback I got was that it is too dark. I was told to change the picture but decided against it because it it is an original photo that goes well with the idea. The effect of the brightness adds to what the genre is.

I have changed my whole digipak because I found it difficult to stick to my paper copy as it was too difficult to design as I'm an amateur to Photoshop. The new design looks better and I'm learning how to use photoshop as I go along.

After having tried to follow my digipak i decided to change it.
The following posts will show the changes I've made.

Digipak (paper copy)

This is the front and back cover of my digipak.
I made sure to incorporate the dance theme which is why I chose to use a strobe effect on the back cover and a dancer and the bright colours on the front cover.

Evidence of RECCE 14




On This day we went to film our dancer Paula at the secret location and her entering the dance studio.
It was quite dark while were filming as it was getting late.

Evidence of RECCE 13


On this day we went to Erith to the entrance of our secret location for our male dancer Lawrence.
Originally, we had planned to use the Flip Video to film but due to unforeseen circumstances such as the batteries running out we were unable to do so, however, luckily we had the video camera that we use to take evidence pictures , so we were able to carry on filming as normal.
