I have just finished the first draft of my music video and am currently exporting it, which is taking longer than I anticipated as I have had a number of problems where it kept failing, perhaps because one clip was corrupt or I had too many in a short space of time. Eventually I decided to cut the video up into sections and export these, before putting them back together on a new timeline and exporting that video. I plan to try and find a way to get around this for the future, are this will make things very difficult when I have a number of drafts and want to see how my video actually runs.

Production Diary 6/1/12

This is my first coursework lesson back after the Christmas holidays. Today I have been sorting out my footage with my teacher so I am able to edit my music video. I have also been gathering audience feedback from people in my class on my drafts of my magazine advert and my digipak. I have also continued over the holidays to research into existing music videos, digipaks and magazine adverts

Audience Feedback - Magazine Advert First Draft

Production Diary 17/12/11

I recently conducted a photo shoot, in which I took an old camera that has be broken beyond repair and smashed it up, taking images at various different stages of breaking the camera. I also reassembled the camera once it was broken as I felt this looked interesting and visually appealing. I used the Canon 550D to take the images in my photo shoot, as it is particularly good for close ups, allowing me to shoot in great detail and shoot in shallow focus. I also have used this camera previously, thus I am familiar with it and how to work it.
I have now completed drafts for two of my tasks, the digipak and the magazine advert that can be found below. I will now collect audience feedback for these drafts in order to decide how I can improve them.
I am currently unable to work on my music video as there is something wrong with my footage, meaning the program closes whenever I try to open it. Therefore, for now and over the Christmas holidays I plan to improve my posts on my blog as I feel some of them may have been to brief, and lacked some explanation.

Magazine Advert First Draft

I have not taken up a whole page for my magazine advert, as the band is not extremely famous or well known yet, thus would not be able to afford such an advert.



This is what my magaizne advert would look like actually in the magazine, with existing adverts for albums on the same page.
