The Official Video

Blog reflection

Reflection of blog progress:

Three targets to improve blog - research or planning (have you thoroughly covered all key media concepts - forms and conventions of your music video genre, audience, institution, representation

·      The blog needs to be sorted out logistically to make it more accessible to any viewing bodies (mainly the examiner) with a good use of labels, professionally arranging pictures  and some better technologies to make it more engaging.

·      There also needs to be a bit more research into some other elements of our video such as genre and audience research to prove that we know exactly what we want our video to represent and the exact audience to appeal to.

·      Although there is already some research on existing singer songwriters, we need a bit more simply to be able to apply the knowledge gained to make Nicholas Alexander as realistic as can be.

Technology - Have you learned new online programmes for showing off work?

I'd say I have become more versed in Adobe Premiere compared to last year, as I have had to make a lot of Work-In-Progress sequences to show how the construction is coming along.
Also I've become very good at Wix as creating the website for Nicholas Alexander has been a long term process with many revisions as I learn more techniques in the program. 

Have you tried new premiere effects that you haven't told us about

As my main role in the group is not editing the finished product, I've not really dabbled in many advanced premiere effects aside from speeding up various shots.

Have you uploaded drafts of digipak, editing, posters, mag article
Yes, there are posts depicting how the digipak/website has developed. However there needs to be some evidence of actual drawing board planning.

What mark out of 20 is it so far?
I'd say a solid 15.
Is it fun to look through?
Not really as of yet, however that is one of my main targets for improvement.
Is the learning journey (blaaaghh) evident? 

Definitely through the evidence of the digipak and website.
