Our project is finished! We got our music video signed off today along with our album cover and website. I'm relieved that everything is all finished and am looking forward to our screening of the video.

ucTwo days till the deadline!

Our video is practically done and we are just adding the finishing touches. I'm really pleased with the outcome and when comparing it to our original footage without any editing, the difference is actually huge so i'm pleased with what we have been able to achieve.

Our album cover is finished and our website is coming along nicely with just a few pages left to fill. I think we should be ready for the deadline on Friday so then we can sort out our screening in order to get our feedback. I'm quite excited for showing our video to audiences but everything needs to be finished first so its time to crack on!

Only just over a week left! I really feel that as a group, we have really progressed with our video and it is almost finished with just a few effects and finishing touches needed.

Our album cover is also looking good and we just need to add song titles and complete the back cover.

We have the most work to do on our website however we have the main frame so we just need to add in al the information and photos.

I'm quite excited to see the finished product of everything all together so this week has got to include a lot of hard work to make sure we get everything done.

A couple a weeks into editing and i think things are going really well and our video is starting to take shape. It's been a lot of hard work as our long shots contained the background so we had to remove it which was quite difficult but the after effect is just what we were hoping for.

We've pieced together the beginning and end and are now filling in the middle and including a wide variety of shots. It's been fun editing although at times stressful and time consuming, however it's all been worth it as so far, i think it's looking really good and i think we're working well together.

We haven't started properly on our album cover yet and we haven't begun our website however we plan to by the end of the week. I'm hoping we do manage to get started so we will be able to finish in time and include everything we want to especially with the website.

Editing

Today i tried editing a few of our promo shots that we took on the day to use for our album cover and website.

I wanted to get a good airbursh effect to make it look professional but not too fake. I followed a tutorial and messed around with photoshop to finally get the effect i wanted.

Here is the before and after:

Shoot Day!

opYesterday was our shoot day. The whole day whizzed past but we managed to do everything we wanted to do. Knyt was really good and proffessional and we had runners to help us so that all made the day run smoother.

I was nervous on the day performing at the start but it was enjoyable and in the end a lot of fun.

I think we worked really effectively as a group and managed our time well.

Here are some shots of the day:

Today we confirmed our studio and booked it! We are using the Mind Studio in Bow.
We've also bought all our costumes and props and have everything prepared for our shoot day next week during half term however we do need a final group meeting to confirm our shot log and make sure we have included everything.
I'm really excited about the shoot next week although it has been quite stressful but i'm sure we will be able to get everything sorted.

Here are some photos of the costume we have ordered:

As i am the dancer in the music video, i prepared a dvd of dance moves to show to the rest of my goup so we could go through and select the ones we wanted for our video.

Here are a few shots from the sequence made:

Before we were about to present our proposal, we has second thoughts on our track choice and thought our plan B might be the better option.

However after some discussion, we decided we could make our plan A work by removing the club scene and shooting in a studio instead.

The studio we have found and our considering using has many different places we could shoot in so this allows us variety in our shots.

We've already come up with some ideas and i already think our new ideas are better than our original with the club scenes so i'm glad with the way the group is progressing.

Final Group

Our final group was decided and i'm working with Patricia and Catharrin.

We had our first group meeting this evening and discussed potential track ideas.

I think the meeting went very well and we're working well as a group.

I'm excited to get on with the coursework and start working on our video.
