Locations list

Locations list

Location 1:

Bedroom: we will use this location multiple times during our video as it will help us contrast against the normal and glamorous aspects of our video e.g. waking up in the morning and trying to find an outfit. This will also be a safe place for us to film due to the fact it is in one of our houses and will not be a busy area.

Location 2:

Against a plain background: this location will be easy to access for us and will also be an easy place to film due to it's simplicity. It will help the video focus on just the main artist as she will be center in the video and stand out against the white background.

Location 3:

Kitchen: using a kitchen will be useful due to the fact it can link to the lyrics of the song. We will be able to do our scene of "popping champagne". This will also be able to be done in our house with no distractions.

Location 4:

Dinning room: this also links to the lyrics of the song, using the dinning room we will be able to place fast food on the table e.g. "I still go to taco bell" and with family/friends around her "I like to go cool out with the family". This shows there is no ambiguity so the audience will be able to link the lyrics and video together without confusion. However in this scene there will be extras and in the dinning room the audience may not be able to pick Fergie out against them.

Location 5:

Road: videoing the road will be able to help us link to the lyrics "in the fast lane". However this may be difficult to film with other cars around and we also want to film at night to exaggerate the lights. We will have to find a quiet and suitable spot that will suit the video.

Location 6:

Lounge: this will help us portray the contrast between the normal life and a glamorous life. E.g. we will use this scene for a pillow fight and how she is "real".

Props list

Props list

Costume: glamorous attire, heels, fur, big jewellery, pyjamas.
Hair and Makeup: full makeup, red lipstick, darker eyes, curled hair.
Scene props: Champagne, Champagne bottles, fast food, TV.

Equipment list

Equipment list

Digital video camera Sony HVR-HD100
Tripod: will hold the camera still and make the filming quality better.
IPhone camera: will use this if easier and satisfied with the quality.
Dolly: will help with moving shots and keeping the camera still.
Lighting: will make the quality of the film better and easier for the audience to see.
Apple Mac Computer: will help us edit and piece together our video.

Dolby

The intertextuality emaze presentation is good and the mood board shows nice visuals- use more pictures and visuals throughout to show clearly the group ideas.
There seems to be little or no analysis of the codes and conventions of the ancillary tasks- there is a lot that needs to be done.

PITCH REFLECTION

I found the pitch helpful towards my planning for our music video. We discussed what will be included in our music video and how we will achieve our ideas. For example we talked about how we will achieve the picture of a stereotypical poor girl in city who will then meet a man who will give her riches, this will also relate to the lyrics in the song.


We also discussed how long we will make our music video e.g. roughly 3:17 minutes. This helped us lay our options down on what we can fit into the time we have and if it's an appropriate time for an average music video. The time we have will also help us make our story board and plan how many seconds per scene.

INTERTEXTUALITY IN MUSIC VIDEOS

Here I researched intertextuality in music videos and why it's used.

RESEARCH INTO THE MUSIC VIDEO INDUSTRY

Here I used Prezi to layout my information.

RESEARCH AND PLANNING EVALUATION

How did your research into genre help you with your production?

Genre research helped me produce my magazine in many ways. It showed me to produce an on-going house style for my magazine. E.g. Q produced an on-going house style for its indie genre such as using indie artists, layouts and colour themes (red, blue and black). It also helped me know what to put into my production e.g. my artists and what’s featured in the magazine.

How did your research into audience contribute to your production work?

My research into audience helped me appeal to my audience; using indie artists e.g. ‘duo Reverse’ and colours (such as pink, blue and white) to make it stand out to my audience. My audience research also helped me choose the pricing for my magazine because in my survey I asked in an interview how much they were willing to spend on a magazine. The result was spread out evenly; 2 out of 6 said they would spend £0-£1, 2 out of 6 said they would spend £1-£3 and 2 out of 6 said they were willing to spend £3-£5. My audience research also helped me decide on which gender to base my magazine on, how long my magazine should be and how often they would buy them.

What pre-production planning techniques did you employ (scripting, storyboarding, shot-listing, etc.)?

Whilst planning for my magazine I used a story board for my mise-en-scene. I noted down colour scheme I would use, my subject (what they were wearing and facial expressions.) I also story boarded my inspirations and ideas and fonts for my magazine. E.g. ‘Clash’ and ‘Indie’ magazine were my inspirations. I then planned my layout and design. I used a plain background and shapes to structure my magazine.

How effective was your planning – how did it help you in the production phase?

My planning was effective as it helped me start to produce my magazine. Planning showed me what my audience wanted and what designs would work well in my magazine. It helped me choose my layout and house style. However what I originally planned for my magazine wasn't what my magazine resulted in using e.g. I chose bright colours but in the end I used duller colours such as navy and light pink.

What did you learn from planning your first production that helped you to improve your planning for the second?

I learnt that planning was vital and helped me achieve a better final product. It also made me more confident in producing my final product as I had planning to help me.

How did you use audience feedback to influence your production work while it was in progress?

My audience feedback helped me product my magazine. They told me what they felt looked good and what would work well together. They also helped me choose the pricing for my magazine and how much they were willing to spend.

PRELIM EVALUATION

Question 1:

What have you learnt about the importance of research and planning?
Research and planning was one of the most significant events of the prelim task. It made us set a final decision of what song we would be filming to. We analysed various music videos to help us find out what would fit into the genre of our song e.g. costume, location and cuts. We choose the song Fancy by Iggy Azalea and Charlie XCX as the narrative was easy to follow and it fit our location: school. But i have most importantly learnt that planning out each scene was vital as our group soon became confused and lacking in time.

Question 2:

What technology did you use to complete the task and how did you use it?
We used the school cameras to film some scenes however we had to change half way through due to camera difficulties. We started to use our iphones as they were easier to use and save footage. However the iphone footage may have seemed less professional compared to the school cameras provided. We then used Final Cut Pro on the macs. This helped us edit and add music to our video but not all of us found using Final Cut Pro easy.

Question 3:

Did you encounter any difficulties? If so, what were they and how did you overcome them?
As we worked in a big team it was hard for us to find the time everyone was free. So we planned days which we were all able to attend and filmed on those days. We also found the cameras slightly difficult to use as some had low battery or defaults. So we used our Iphones or another camera provided. It was also difficult to find the right footage which had good quality for Final Cut Pro but we finally achieved the task.

Question 4:

How successful was your music video? Please identify what worked well, and with hindsight, what would you improve/do differently?
I feel our music video was successful however could of had more improvement due to the lack of planning and time count. However i feel we worked well in a team to overcome difficult situations and filming. I would defiantly change how we planned our music video and paid attention to the time.

Question 5:

What have you learnt from completing this task? Looking ahead, how will this learning be significant when completing your advanced portfolio, do you think?
I have learnt that planning for our music video was very important and would help us achieve a successful music video. But i also learnt how to use the school cameras and Final Cut Pro. This will be significant as i will be able to plan to a higher standard and use the technology confidently.

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Although i have been able to edit pictures before, serif page plus was new to me. I have learnt various tools such as outlining, cutting tool etc. I have also learnt how to use blogger such as new posts, website links in posts etc. These have helped me manage my own blog. I have also used other websites such as Prezi, Emaze and more. These have taught my how to create a structured presentation and how to share onto my blogger. I used my phone camera to create the background images for my magazine, although i knew how to use this, i had to email the images to myself and then upload them onto serif.

PRESENTATION PLAN

I will answer my 7 questions on different media outlets to show my ICT skills. I will also make sure my presentations are clear and easy to read, informing you about my media product.

EVALUATION DRAFT 1

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

My media product was able to use the codes and conventions of a magazine. With this i used pictures of who will be featured on the magazine such as the duo 'Reverse.' The duo was wearing plain but daring clothing, minimal makeup but bold lips e.g. red and purple. Their posture was relaxed and i used a mid shot, which most magazines use such as 'Q.' My media product also used captions/headlines such as "Exclusive interviews" or "Beyonce's style guide." These will tell the audience what is featured in my magazine. My magazine also uses the title "IV" with the slogan "Independent vibe magazine" this is to seem more like a real magazine which most use. I also have a pug at the top right of the magazine with "Win £100 worth of ITunes vouchers", these portray a front page of a magazine. In my contents i used a range of contents and pages e.g. 35 pages featured with stories such as interviews, gig dates and chances to listen to new music. I also used some pictures at the top right of the page to show the audience what will be featured in the magazine. On my double Page spread i use images like all magazines do. My magazine then features a pull quote of the interview and a column alignment/layout for the interview, to look like a real magazine. Throughout the whole magazine i use the same house style e.g. pink, white and navy so the magazine is continuous for the audience. 

How does your media product represent particular social groups?/ who would be the audience for your media product?

My audience is aimed at young adults preferably aged 15-25 due to my survey answers and my target audience. It is aimed at both genders but may fall more onto the female audience due to who is being featured in the magazine and results from my survey, My magazine adressess them formally but fits to my age range and 'social group' who is my audience, The duo 'Reverse' may also relate to my audience due to how they are presented on the magazine e.g. their style (what they are wearing or genre of music). The font of the duo is also cartoon like and may attract a younger audience. Also what is featured in the magazine may also relate to my audience e.g. exclusive interviews of big stars and chances to win things. 

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

I would distribute my media product to various places to ensure i have a wide audience. I would design an online subscription so people are able to get the magazine delievered to their doorstep. The internet is becoming a popular and easy way to shop. I would also sell my product in supermarket stores and websites as they are a popular way to shop for every day products and demands, Supermarkets sell nearly everything so it would be easy for my audience to visit them to buy my product. I would then sell in retail shops such as WH Smith, newsagents, book stores and music stores. Magazines would be one of the main products to sell in these stores so people would have easy access to my product.

How did you attract/address your audience?

I was able to attract my audience by using a bold image which features an independent artist which has an independent genre, this will be able to attract people who enjoy more than one music genre. I was also able to use bold titles and headlines which stand out against the background. Most headlines feature things such as "chances to win" and a list of names which people may listen to or follow as an artist. Also using the same house style throughout may entertain the audience.

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Although i have been able to edit pictures before, serif page plus was new to me. I have learnt various tools such as outlining, cutting tool etc. These have helped me achieve my media product.

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

I have been able to learn new ICT skills such as the different tools on Serif page plus. I have also learnt different ways to improve my product and keep it up to date.

FINAL DRAFT

DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD 3RD DRAFT

I have changed all the text on the double page spread to make it easier for my audience to read. I changed the title to make it match the artists colourings and font. I then added a page number so the auidence know what page it is. 

CONTENTS PAGE 4TH DRAFT

I have changed the text of the title to make it stand out more instead of the white against the pale colours. I've also matched the colourings and font to the title of the magazine to keep the house style throughout the magazine. 

Dolby

This is much better, now you need to try and work on the contents and dps and upload some more drafts of these.

FRONT COVER 5TH DRAFT

I have added more headlines onto the front cover to make it look more like a magazine. I've also changed the font of the artists name and colour, to make it easier to read and stand out. 

FRONT COVER 4TH DRAFT

I have changed the font and made it larger so it's easier for the audience to read. I have also added a pug to make it look more like a magazine. I feel these work better than the other drafts due to their unclearness and no pugs. 

PROGRESS

Today i designed a survey on survey monkey to get audience feedback on my magazine. The results will be able to help me change my magazine in any places where my audience feel they don't like. It will also show me things i will not need to change. 

I also changed some things on my magazine such as spelling mistakes and unclear font. 

DRAFT 3 OF MAGAZINE

I have changed the coverlines with the artists's name to make sure the artists names do not look like the title of the magazine. I have also made the font bigger so it's easier to read. I also made the title of the maazine bigger to make it stand out against the rest of the magazine. 

I am going to change my contents page picture due to the fact that contents pages are meant to be easy to read and the picture may influence this,

I changed the contents page image to this one, so it is subtle and easier to read for the audience.

I then swapped the images from the double page spread and contents page.

DRAFT 2 OF MAGAZINE

I have changed the font e,g, the colouring and boldness to make it easier for the audience to read. I have also added text around my front cover to make it seem more like a magazine. I changed the price of the magazine from £3.99 to £2.99 due to the amount of pages i have, so it is more realistic and the audience will afford it. I made reverse slightly smaller so the audience does not mistake it as the title of the magazine. I may need to swap the positioning of the title and artist name to make sure it is clear what the magazine is called.

I changed the font to make it easier to read but still may need to be changed to make it even clearer. I have also added pictures to the top of the page to give an insight on what is yet to come in the magazine, this will also show my ict skills for the magazine. I made the magazines title clearer to read by doing the same on the front cover; changing the colours and outlining it.

I haven't changed much on my double page spread but i leveled out the pictures and moved the quote across so the speech bubbles are able to stay on the page and not be cut off.

PROGRESS

Whilst making changes to my magazine i have recieved verbal feedback. I will have to change my font in order for the magazine to been easier to read.

PROGRESS

Today i made a few changes on my front cover and contents page. I have changed the font colour of magazine title to make it easier to read and sorted out the text on my contents page to make it clearer. 

DRAFT 1 MAGAZINE

I am happy with my first draft of my front cover. However may need to change the colours of my font due to the colourings of the picture. It may be hard to read if the font and background colour are similiar. I feel the colour scheme suits the indie genre and gives off an retro vibe. I turned around the R on reverse to emphasise the duo's name. I added other artists and bands names to make the magazine look like it's featuring them, which could attract a bigger audience. 

I do like my contents page but the text may overcrowd the image and may be unlear. 

I like the double page but i may have to change the fomt to make it clearer and level out the images. 

HOUSE STYLE

The specific usage and editing conventions followed by writers and editors to ensure stylistic consistency in a particular publication or series of publications (newspapers, magazines, journals, websites, books).This can help a magazine noticeable and stand out to it's audience. Magazine's such as Q use the same house style e.g. colour scheme and font, throughout their magazine. Having it's own house style means it will be different from other magazines.

With this i will use the same colour scheme throughout my magazine to create the sense of house style and synergy. I will also use the same fonts to make sure the continuity of my magazine will flow without problems or the magazine to be confusing to it's audience. 

TEST SHOTS

Here i have analysed my test shots to give an idea of what i'd like for my magazine.

TODAYS LESSON

In todays lesson i have been working on analysing my test shots on prezi. I aim to upload this tonight at home as well as uploading my house style and synergy. I will work on taking more shots for my final magazine to then finally construct it. 

LAYOUT AND DESIGN

This simple layout will make the background and main subject on the magazine stand out and attract the audience. It will be also simple and easy to read for my audience.

My contents page will be in chronological order so it will be easy for the audience to read my contents and know what pages to turn to. I have also made this page simple to stick with the simple theme on the front cover. 

My double page spread is also simple and will be easy to read for my audience. The drop cap will signal where the article is starting and the text will flow around the image of the artist. The quote will also hint more of the article and attract readers. 

GENRE AND AUDIENCE

Here is my Prezi where i dicussed who my Genre, Artists and Audience will be.

MAGAZINE RESEARCH

PRELIM EVALUATION

Evaluation:

Did you plan your magazine? If not, what have you learnt about the importance of research and planning?

I did not plan my magazine, although I did look at other magazines to see how they are structured and created. I have learnt that research and planning is vital as it gives you an in-sight on how a magazine is designed and what needs to be featured. Also research and planning allows you to get an idea on how you will make your own e.g. adding text, adding pictures, editing text and pictures. It also allows you take time to make your magazine the best it can be e.g. planning it out and what will make it look good or look bad.

What technology did you use to complete the task and how did you use it?

For this task I used Serif applications: Pageplus x6. Firstly I started with the background, inserting the pictures onto the document and then using Cutout Studio to remove the background of the pictures. This left the background white and able to make the subject of the magazine the main focus. I was then able to use the Artistic text tool to create all text on the page. I used it for the title, cover lines, quotes, price of the magazine, contents page title, page numbers and page information. The tool allowed to me customize the text, changing the colours, highlight and shadow. After creating the title I was able to send the text to the back of the document, allowing the subjects head to be in front of the text. I was then able to use to the shape tool to insert two circles onto the page (red and grey) for me to then add text onto it. I was able to find a barcode online and paste it onto the image, to make it look more realistic.

Did you encounter any difficulties? If so, what were they and how did you overcome them?

It did take a while to edit (shape, size and colour) the text but I was finally able to complete the task. It was also difficult to remove all of the background from the image, as you can still see some of it is still around his head. But I was also able to overcome most of this by taking my time to precisely remove the background of the image.

How successful was your magazine? Please identify what worked well, with hindsight, what would you improve/do differently?

I feel the structure of my magazine was successful, along with the colour scheme e.g. the text and shapes. But I would improve it by being able to edit all of the background off the main image. I also feel I would change the plainness of the magazine; to add more pictures and be more creative. Also maybe change the information about the pages text colour, as some may find it hard to read red on white.

What have you learnt from completing this task? Looking ahead, how will this learning be significant when completing the rest of your foundation coursework, do you think?

I have learnt the basics of creating a magazine e.g. adding pictures and text. Looking head it will be significant as it will allow me to improve on my skills for my foundation coursework. It will also allow me to be more creative and take more risks in order for my foundation coursework to be successful and better than my prelim task.

Age Essay

This extract is able to portray age through Mise-en-scene, Sound, Editing and Camera Shots.

Mis-en-scene was used to show the characters age, for example the elderly woman sitting in the waiting room. She was designed to look like the stereotypical older woman; grey hair and wearing a scarf. She is also seen to be 'looking into space' then asked why she was there. The extract made her look and act like this to make sure the audience know her age. Also most children/teenagers in the extract are made to look more vulnerable than the adults, portraying their physcial and mental age. However during this extract they go against the stereotypical child, he is sat in his hopsital bed playing sudokau. This is seen as an adult characteristic and activity to enjoy.

They are also able to go agaisnt the childs stereotype by using sound/dialogue. He is able to know why and how he is sick e.g. "First it felt like a lump in my throat" and "I suggested a muscle biopsy." This dialogue suggests the intellligence of the child, showing it is at an higher stage than most children/teenagers his age. The extract is also able to portray age by sound, using dialogue. When in the waiting room a younge child speaks in an higher and more panicked voice saying "Killer bit me" whereas the elder woman is more calm and relaxed, saying she just wants "air." They also portray age by showing the dialogue of the young couple. She explains how she wants to go travelling and how it's an "once in a life time opportunity." This could portray her age as it is stereotyped that most young workers want adventure and good memories in life. 

Editing is also used to represent age. Eyeline match is used between the male doctor and teenage patient. The doctors eyeline match is higher than patients, showing his dominance over him. This shows us their age as most adults have dominance over children and teenagers in reality. Cross cutting is also used to show the pace of the characters in the extract e.g. when on the elder woman the pace is slower and calmer, whereas the drunk patient's pace is alot faster and chaotic but this could also link to the state of the patient and what situation they are in.

The extract also uses camera angles/shots to show characters age. It uses over the shoulder shot between the female and male doctor when they are trying to treat the drunk patient. Here you can see the male character is older due to the dominance over her and is able to order her. The extract also uses a birds eye view shot on the drunk patient, showing the chaotic atmosphere around him. This could portray age as he may have alot of life to loose.
