Diary (3) 27/09/12

Today in lesson our teacher told us to start thinking and planning our digipak, therefore when I get home I will draft out ideas on rough paper, then a digital version and then go on to create the final product when I am happy with my initial ideas. I have already acquired inspiration from other digipak's from already famnous artists.

Mood Board

Instead of creating the basic mood board, I took it a step further and created a 'Tumblr' account. In case you are unaware of what Tumblr is, it is a a social network blogging site with a twist. The twist is that it is a picture blog. As it was originally a personal picture blog, some of the pictures have nothing to do with my music video, therefore I will temporarily link my personal Tumblr blog to my blog, and later on create a 'side blog' with only pictures that relate to my music video and the genre of it. Furthermore my Tumblr blog also has the song I am using for my music video as my background song. I believe this is a more fun way to display a mood board than the usual generic pictures with a bunch of text explaining each of photo. In other words, the pictures speak for themselves.

Here is the link to my Tumblr: http://tattoosfashionmusic.tumblr.com/

Today I am thinking about how I can develop my research into the target audience research of my music video. Personally, I feel as though the audience is the most important factor needed to be taken into accont when creating a media product. And in this case, with music, audience is very specific. I am going to create a video questionaire, asking lots of different people within my target audience, what they like, who they like, where they go in their spare time and so on. I feel this will give me more of an insight on how to create my music video in a way that'll be successful with its target audience.

So currently I have been using the blogger app on my Samsung Galaxy S3. This has been really handy as its allowed me to update my blog on the go and when I get inspiration. However I have just discovered as trying to post some videos I shot that the app will only allow me to post text and pictures. To solve this problem I have had to plug my phone into my computer and upload them using the normal site.

Tha Alumni Music Group Request Email

I wrote an E-Mail to Dj Ill Will, who represents Tha Alumni Music Group who represent Kid Ink. This is merely a courtesy E-Mail as the school have a license that allows the media students to use any song we desire for our coursework.

Electronic Signature

Today I needed to put my signature on a number of forms but instead of printing it off and scanning it back in to the computer I decided to write it on plain piece of paper and scan it in to Photoshop. I cropped it out so that I can now input it on to every form that I need and can print off many copies and even still edit the text if needs be without having to re-print and then re-scan again.

Crew Selection

Crew Selection

In order to get the best shots and angles and a clear sound in my short film I have enlisted the assistance of two other peers to work as crew for my short film. This will allow me to have two cameras filming at once getting a wide and effective variety of shots. Also It also allows me to film behind the scenes of the short film allowing me to demonstrate its production easily and very well. The two people I have selected to be in my crew are Max Dowling (left) and Matthew Thomas (right)

Diary 18/09/12

This week in media our teacher showed us all of the coursework he wants us to complete by the end of September. From this I relise that I am ahead of most of my class, I just haven't uploaded the work I've done onto my blog yet. Therefore I still have a lot of work, and have decided I will step up on my work ethic to complete the work in the next 12 days.

Diary 02/07/05

Today I have begun editing the footage I have captured on the weekend. The footage is of Matthew Thomas, Max Dowling and myself (all media students)  going on a journey to find scrap items and wood for our own individual products.
