A2 Media Studies Kate

Reflection - This month I have uploaded the question 3 from my evaluation. I have uploaded this by typing straight onto my blog. 

Aim: To complete the last two evaluation question that are looking back over my entire project. 

Reflection: This month I have managed to complete the first two evaluation questions using three different forms of media, iMovie, snapchat and screen recording. This has helped to give me a range of media products in my evaluation. I have also completed and uploaded research on different institutions that could produce my music video, digipak and magazine advert. These were record labels. To reflect on AS. 

Aim: To complete reach into different music record labels/institutions.  Reflection: I have done a lot of research into the different music institutions and which I feel would be best suited to my music video. I feel that my music video will be best suited to the Universal Music Group as it best fits in with their current artists and music videos. 

This is my time plan for the month of March. This month I will begin my evaluation as well as reflect back on AS. 

Aim: To finish off any work that I haven't already completed and upload them to my blog. To complete the first two evaluation questions about my final product to reflect on how well my whole project went. To reflect on last year, AS, portfolio. 

Reflection: I have completed and uploaded both my main tasks and two ancillary tasks. I have received feedback from both primary and secondary target audience. I have received feedback from these people for all three of my products and have uploaded them to my blog. 

Aim: To finish and upload my music video, my magazine advert and my digipak.  Reflection: I have finished my music video ad uploaded it to my blog. I have also finished my magazine advert and got feedback on it from other within my primary target audience age. They have given me feedback and shown that it does appeal to my target audience. I have also uploaded my digipak and have received feedback on that. All of my products fit with the same theme of the war and all link together in this way. 

Aim: This month I will finish off and upload all of my final products. I will complete my music video, magazine advert and digipak. All of these will fit with a theme and will appeal to both my primary and secondary target audience. 

This is my time plan for the month of February. During this month I will complete and upload my final products. I will also receive feedback on them from both my primary and secondary target audience. 

Reflection: This month I have created and uploaded both my animatic storyboard and normal storyboard. I have also had some more issues with the songs that I have previously chosen being deleted off of the website DaFont. I have chosen new and similar fonts so that my final products still look precessional and sophisticated. I have added some new props that I hadn't originally accounted for so I have written about them as well. 

Aim: To make changes to the fonts that I have chosen for my magazine advert as they are no longer available.  Reflection: The font that I had chosen for the main font for my magazine advert was no longer available when I came to making it. It has been taken off of the website DaFont that I have been using for the fonts for all of my final products. I have now decided to use the font Blacksword font as it is very similar to the original font that I was going to use. 

Aim: This month I will create an animatic storyboard, moving story board set to the song LU2 which I have chosen for my music video, and a normal storyboard. I will also continue to work on my final products. 

This is my time plan for January. I will upload each of these tasks on these days and continue to work on them up until they are uploaded. This will give the most time to complete the tasks. I will also continue to complete time management as the month goes on. 

Reflection: During this month I have begun to make my music video, magazine advert and digipak. I have come across a few issues with he font while doing this, as I have found that some of them have been deleted off of the website DaFont that I was getting my fonts from. I have uploaded the raw photographs from my original photoshoot so that you can see the transition between them and the final images on my magazine advert and digipak. 

Aim: To upload my raw photographs from my photoshoot.  Reflection: I have uploaded the raw photos that I have taken from my photoshoot. These are the photos before they have been edited. 

Aim: To complete a list of resources that I will need when filming my music video and doing my photoshoot.  Reflection: I have completed a list of what resources I will need, where they will come from and how much they will cost, which is free as I own all of the equipment. I have also completed a list of contact details for each of the actors/models that will be in my music video. This list will be distributed to each of the crew so they can all contact each other and me. 

Aim: To fix the issues that I ave had with the fonts that I have chosen when it comes to making my final products.  Reflection: I have had some issues when it came to making my final products. When I came to adding the font the font that I have chosen has been taken off of the website that I was using, DaFont. I have decided that I will use a different font instead. The font looks similar so my final products will still follow the same theme. 

Aim: This month I will begin to make my music video, magazine advert and digipak. I will also dry and complete a resourcing list for the crew and equipment for filming my music video and my photoshoot. 

This is my time plan for the month of December. During this month there was Christmas and New Year which meant that we had holidays where we we not in school. During this month I will beginw to create my final products.
