More editing

Today i started editing the interview half of the production and what do you know the computers are slow not to mention the fact that it takes forever to save and it does not add the effect to the clip. mmmm so my teacher told me to save the clip then restart the computer so i started to do that when  the computer says NO! oh well lets hope that it wont do that again

Newspaper advert

So i was having a look at Newspaper adverts and other adverts to check the conventions and this is what i found

. they all seem to have the subject in full view
. simple yet informative text
. the sometimes use words like we, everyone, us to create a group mentality
.seem to have emotive colours example yellows , or reds
. large eye catching text to catch the readers attention
.and the most simple thing of all is that when people faces are in the advert they always appear to be smiling i found out that this was to create an emotional response with the readers so hopefully in our newspaper advert we follow some of these conventions
( i know the music i create is not the best )

Yesterday we went filming at the comic book shop where we had to do an interview with the owner of the comic book shop or worker of the comic book shop well one of them, and it was ok we got most of the shots we wanted however im starting to think that the volume was to loud.




we started by taking the LOG ( London over ground ) to Kenton where we go off and caught the bus which took forever by the way



Kenton station on the Bakerloo line












As you can see when were arrived it was not that dark but it was getting there



















finally picture of us in action however i turned the camera to focus and moved my hand rather then keep it to( infinite) where the photo's are taken instantly

editing today

today we started editing for the first time which was good and so far what we have is really good m e thinks
we also have filming today at the comic book shop at 15:30 and lets see how it goes, we are returning back to the comic book shop to carry out the rest of the interview

Motivation level

this is a level of how motivated i am during the production and our groups meetings and filming and we'll see what we can do to change that

Filming...

click on the icons on the map to get interactive view of where we filmed and were based,to view the distance from school zoom out to get over view of london



we had filming to film parts of our media production which all and all went well however we encountered so any things that slowed us down i will go through them in a list

1. cars kept coming in our way over and over again
2. It started to rain
3.we had to do one show like 8-9 different times because we wanted to get it just right
4. our previous location we started shooting being told that we cannot shot there
5.no one wanted to speak on camera


this was the first location that we decided to shot but then being told that we cannot shot there.
this was the location where we were based until we were told we cannot continue to film

FILMING

I JUST FINISHED COMING BACK FROM A FILMING TRIP AT THIS COMIC BOOK SHOP CALLED CALAMITY OVER ALL I THINK THE FILMING TRIP WAS GOOD BUT THERE WERE NO PEOPLE TO INTERVIEW WAS LIKE ONLY ONE MAN ( LOL :) ) BUT WE STILL MANAGED TO FILM A WHOLE LOT OF THINGS LIKE FILM OUT SIDE , INSIDE AND YOU PEOPLE KNOW THE REST BUT STILL IT WAS INTERESTING BUT COLD

AN EXAMPLE OF HOW MANY COMIC BOOKS WERE THERE AND COUGH CAUGH EMPTY IT WAS

Mini assiment

today i and my other class mate had a chance to look at each others blogs and research and planning so that we can get targets on what we should improve these include

. slowing down the speed of the slide show because one of the main issues that people had was that the speed was to fast and it some how made their eyes hurt.

.clearly label all items so that people could know what they were looking at and what each thing suppose to mean and represent

Re-do

So i just finished making another slide show that we can hopefully use some of the ideas of in our final one , oh and KEYNOTE the music is not ours so unless we somehow get the labels backing to use this song we cannot use it in our final idea

completed at last.

so this is a copy of the logo which we have decided upon taking im so happy that i have completed it because it took me like 20 attempts to finally get it rich because i had to design it from nothing and people were going i think this should be this way and so on so i'm happy I'm done and the do news doesn't stop there my co-worker or group member what ever you want to call it just told me she had a sample of how she wanted the slide show to look
SLIDE SHOW (i couldn't copy the video so you would have to watch from her site.s

so this is just a little preview of the shot list which i did so enjoy.

R+ P= logo?

so this is the research and planning that i did for the creation of the logo and in this i took a few logos from major film of media companies and i decided to compare the conventions and the elements of it i found that

. most of them appear to have text written in caps meaning that i would incorporate it into the logo as well however the first part of the logo will be in caps we though that adding the other part in lower-case letters will break conventions and so we decided to do it.

. i also found that they all seem to have bright , emotive , eye catching colours which may trigger a emotional response in the T.A and so i may use it ti create the same effect.

. they all seems to be connected with the name of the company or what the company is doing so i though that is should use that in the logo as well.

i just finished receiving the copy of the storyboards so now i can continue creating the shot list and then is all good to go me thinks i also have to finish the logo so is going to be a long weekend.

the meeting

So today we had one of our regular meetings to decide upon how we should share the work loads and stuff like that so Mohammed and mirella were in-charge of re-drawing the story boards whilst i had to create the logo and the storyboard and so as usual progress which takes us even close yo our goal.

more images of the storyboards

i just finished having a convocation with Hannah about our meeting tomorrow so hopefully it will all go well i think we have to like improve our ideas on say filming times and things like that so lets see how it goes because our media teacher in charge of this part of the course gave us a check list to kinda help us get the most possible grades we can so we have a major re-do to complete

the first section of my power points in which i decided to choose and do documentaries about society and the use of technology

the power point of my first idea

this is a sample of the powerpoint that i created to show off my idea for a media documentary

Mini blog inspection

Today we had what i like to call again a mini blog inspection to see where , and what needs improving in our blogs much to my delight my blog was good however she told us well i say us i mean me that i have to improve things like adding moving pictures or as some people may call it videos however i think that i shall try to upload some videos , but is not the first time i had this video people because the main reason for me not having videos is because the file was to big so that made uploading a pain considering i have wireless which keeps disconnecting however i shall try as i say is all good
