Question Four progress

I have been making a lot of progress with question four.  I am basically finished and today I was just added some final touches.  Today, I added some cringy music which is perfect for a beauty blog as that is what they always do.  The music I used was called "life of riley" this was similar to other YouTube music I had heard.  I also added some superimposition and used the cringy name of "glitter girl" as her username.  We used our friend Ellie for this as she was perfect for the role and we didn't want to do it ourselves so we found the perfect person for it and she is pretending to be in our group hence why she says  "our group" and "our music video" throughout the video.  Overall, I'm happy with question four and think it works and uses the conventions of a cringy beauty vlogger.  We are just waiting on David's question one, Jaclyn's question two and Cora's question three.

Uploading and Editing Question 2


 Now i am at the stage of uploading and editing the footage. I'm not sure how long this process will take as it's quite lengthy, as my question needs to be at least 3-4 minutes long, just like the music video, which took around 2 weeks to complete. However, we have until tomorrow to complete our full evaluation video. Wish us luck!

Encoding Question 2

Thankfully, everything went according to plan and i was able to film everything. Now it's the long process of downloading the footage from the camera onto the computer, then encoding it then for me to edit it all together so it flows. In the image, you can see that i have already started encoding, I've had to change the format to Microsoft AVI so that it's able to encode properly as sometimes it doesn't work properly on Premiere Pro.

Completed script for Question Three

Script
SECTION ONE: Response to rough cut music video
PERSON ONE: I really did not understand the narrative. I don’t get whether they are a couple or not, and I couldn’t see what they were arguing about.
PERSON TWO: I liked the lighting in the performance bit, that was really cool, but the band looks awkward and they don’t really fit together. I’m also a bit confused as to why the main character is also the lead singer- I really don’t like that.


SECTON TWO: Response to final cut music video
PERSON THREE: The scenes on the canons and in the amusements are so cute, and they really match the song well.
PERSON FOUR: The way that a lot of the editing is done on the beat looks really professional and neat, but if you were to do it again, I would say to use some different people in the band.

SECTION THREE: Response to the digipak
PERSON FIVE: I love the colours that you’ve used on the album. It looks incredibly abstract and I like the fact that the name, Chroma, matches the metallic look on the CD.

SECTION FOUR: Response to the advert

PERSON SIX: I like the background colour, and the black and white polaroid looks really artsy. I would’ve preferred it if there was an actual picture of the band on it, though.

Preparing for filming tonight

Due to unforeseen circumstances, there were unfortunately not enough cameras as they have all been booked for other groups. I have had to borrow David's camera that he used to film on, thankfully he is almost finished his question so that i am able to film for tonight. I am hoping to get the majority of the question filmed and if this isn't possible, then i am going to have to film tomorrow during school time. If all goes well, then i am hoping that i can start editing tomorrow morning.



Changing Question Three!

Over the weekend, I had enough time to contemplate how my question would work. I decided to change the format of my answer, to match my question 'What have your learned from your audience feedback?' The way that I have re structured it, the audience will be able to see the statistics of our feedback, how we collected it, and actually hear from some of our target audience.

Basically, I will show the graphs that present or data from various points in our project, by using a stock-motion technique, with a 'behind-the-scenes' theme. I will also ask some of our friends to be 'interviewed' about our products at various points in the project. Then, using the same stock-motion technique, I will show how we used this feedback to improve our project.

I am a lot happier with this format than the other one, which I felt had a lot of issues that would have taken valuable time to resolve.


Editing Question 1


Now that I have filmed my response to my question, now i'm going to edit my question following the format of having Music Video, Digipak and  Advert. Having the order of conventions, developments and challenges from other genres. 

 So when editing I have other videos or photos super imposed on the main video, of what I'm watching and reacting to.  


The End

Today is the last deadline day, so now we are going to start studying for the A2 exam in the summer next year.
