This is the first week of the second module. And as i wrote before i have been doing some filming over the half term. On the first week back i have been uploading the videos and editing different parts on Premier Pro. i have been editing different parts of which will fit into my film. However i have not taken all my footage that i need to do, and so i will need to do this within the next few weeks.
Also over the holidays on the 23rd of November, i was being filmed in one of my media friends in this class (Amarpreet Kaur). I am her main character in her film 'Avril Lavigne- When You're gone'. I was mining to her song while acting. Another thing that i have participated in is my friend (Sam Nason), i was a member in his band for his AS media class.
Throughout module two i have been in Jack Hargreves film and i also featured more iniside Amarpreet's music promo. I have started to plan out what exactly i am going to do in my music video and how i want it to be layed out.
Up till the christmas holidays i have been filimgs flashbacks for my videos and some clips outside leos's.
Over the christmas break i will be taking the camera out to see if i can get some more of my filming done, so that when i return to school i can just get on with the editing.
We are now in module 3 and over the break i managed to get my park bit filmed, this was filmed in bluewater, it shows the couple breaking up and various camera angles and close ups of reactions ect.
In the first week i have been ediitng my work, but i am thinking i do not like the way the Leo's clips are turning out, that is it not what i want, and maybe i could replace this with something else.
Through the second week i have been continuing with the editing of Leo's and adding the flashbacks inside the video. It all seems to be coming together but something just doesn't look right. Today i have written down some ideas and to what i want to add more inside my video that will give it the look i want.
During this module i have edited almost all my work but there are a few gaps, of which i am planning to replace with lips miming the words to my song. Also i am thinking of taking out the Leo's clips.
It is now module four, i have added in another Leo's clip, but at this point, i have taken out all of the Leo's bits and replaced them with more flashbacks that i have done over the break. My video is really coming together and is starting to look the way i have planned it in my head.
I have done added some clips thay i have never stated in my storyboard because i kept changing my ideas. From taking the Leo's parts out, there are varius gaps that need to be filmed but through the up coming week i should have all the filming done.
Through February i have got more flashbacks added and edited as well as doing the mining of the words, my freind Becca has featured by miming the words for me.
On Premier Pro i have edited my video to the max by adding in black, white and sepia effects. this will make the video look more interesting and keep the audience attention on my video.
My deadline is approaching and the evening where our music promos are shown to the public is near, i have been doing non stop editing in all my free lessons to get the work done and it is going well. i have changed alot of my work and ideas throught the making, but i do prefer how things are going now, where as if i carried on the way i was doing things i would not be happy.

Module One
First Module
To start with we read the different briefs that we could do and looked into them in detail to help us get a good idea, and to really know what we want to do for our final product. We started to look into previous students work, and what marks they got. This helped us to understand what was expected of us. I was quite stunned at what i saw compared to what i could acheive.
The second week i had a good idea in mind of what i wanted to do. I wanted to make a much promo, but at this point we was told we were only allowed to use royalty free music, and so i looked and looked through websited trying to find a perfect song, but no luck. The song i really wanted to do was 'Decode' by Paramore. I thought if i got another band to make a recording of the same track it would be acceptable.. While waiting for a reply to this problem i started to look into music videos that have already been made my famous well known bands. But i wanted videos that featured a flash back and to tell a story..
Week three, i chose my music videos that i wanted an analysis and got on with the task. This took up most of the week as i wanted it to be written in detail. Unfortunately at the the end of this week, due to my error it was not saved properly and i have to re start my second analysis, of which took me a bit behind.
On the up this we as a group found out, that a new spec had been sent out to do with A2, and this was that we were allowed to use copyrighted music from a well known band, just as long as it didn't get further than this. At this point i have contacted the band that re recorded 'Decode' and recieved confirmation of me being allowed to use their song.
And so now (at the end of the this week) i am looking into Paramore's song 'Decode', and thinking of ideas of what i could create.
At the start of week four, i have been story boarding our work, trying to put images to music. The first lesson of this week i went through the whole song and put an image to each part of the song. I then printed out an outline of a story board and started drawing in what my shots will look like.
We all then scanned in our story board and cut around each picture on photoshop in the sequence. I then opened celtx and uploaded all my pictures and started to write in what each image was showing and how long into the song it would be and how long it would be.
During the 5th week we were asked to start a presentation to show the examiner what we are capable of in Photoshop, and to show our abilities, this would be a good insight of how my front cover would look like and other posters i would be creating.
I got out the camera an took a few pictures of myself posing, this is because i will be in focus in my music video and this would be a similar sort of look in some of my final products.
During the second lesson on the fifth week i used photoshop and started editing the pictures i had taken! i went made with what i know and other things i ust played around with it. While doing this i was saving the images and print screening of how to do it, this will be shown in my presentation. I was still producing this presentation during the 6th week, which is where i am now. I am on my 10 page of my presentation, and i have added information about how i have created such effects. This really does show what i am capable of.. Other pages that i have added are to do with fonts, i have experimented with fonts, of what my front cover would look like for the Cd.. Everything looks good so far and i am happy with my progress.
During the last week i have added more pages such as the synopsis, and of be explaining in detail over 2 slides what i am going to do and what my ideas are about the other tasks. I have also contiued to edit picture and do CD covers and inserted them on the slides. I am now up to date with most of my work but still alot to do.
As we sre having 2 weeks off for half term, i will be coming into school to do some filming for my music video. On wednesay 21st of October from 12-4. I will need to make a calender on Celltx for me to keep up to date on what i am doing. Through the break i will get as much filming as i can do.
