1. In what ways does my media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
A) last summer - aerosmith research
music videos like walk this way
Rock good music videos
Started reviewing newer music videos
runaway love
we are champions lyric analysis (read parts of it)
story boards
B) narrative story lines in music videos effective, e.g. bad to good, losing to winning.
we are champions lyric analysis (read parts of it)
story boards drawn for running, because it is the most effective way/sport to show the overcoming of life's problems.
C) idea of print works came from scott pilgrim vs the world poster
2. How effective is the combination of your main products and ancillary texts?
Clear links of actors, as well as colour scheme. music video has beth and emily, and most shot in black and white.
rock linked with darkness, whereas we are the champions is about winning and hope, thus light (thus flame holds us together) thus using white, black and white, bad and good.
music video to CD has actors
CD to magazine has the band on it
3. What have you learned from your audience feedback?
TALK ABOUT THE FEEDBACK FROM THE BAND. I have learnt to spend more time looking closely to find any small and minor problems in the video, for example continuity error of grass colour.
4. How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
A) During the last summer term in year 12, my research into other bands to find out what's the best option for me was good, but as i started getting more into year 13, i slowly started to let go of the planning part, and stick more to the practical part of the project. so eager to start filming and editing, as oppose to knowing exactly what to film at which point.
B) Toward 2/3 of the way, emily and i decided it's best if each of us focus on different aspects of the project; print products and research was left up to emily, as it is her strong point, and the filming and editing was left up to me, as i had the more experience and ambition in this (although we each took a part of this project, we were both involved in each other's work from time to time)
C) the problem i've had with the blogger website is that it seems i cannot open it using my home computer, the Apple Mac. When at school, it is easy to log in and post my blogs, but when at home, sometimes it does not log in, and sometimes it just simply does not let me post my blog, then erases it before i can copy and keep it for another time.
D) the Digital camera - getting used to the hard drive ones this year, as oppose to the usual digital cam corder of last year.
E) problems - it deleted some scenes, therefore we had to take them again, thus creating the continuity error.
F) whilst emily was more busy with Adobe photoshop and Microsoft power point, i was mostly into using the Adobe Premiere Pro on the school systems, as well as Apple's iMovie 08.
problems with premiere pro included the constant crashes, the constant need to render files every time opened. (towards the end, all up-to-date files were converted to AVI to help to be supported by premier pro.
