Ideas

We have had many ideas in the past such as a couple falling out, then a lesbian couple falling out then we finally changed it to our final one which was friends falling out over a man. We have also had many ideas for songs, locations and even actors to involve apart from our main ones.

I was an effective particapator here because i had to work with others to produce the right bits for different sections capture such as

project proposal, storyboards.

Evaluation

We did have a few problems:

• the weather - this was not our fault but to avoid it we could have filmed a bit earlier in the year or a week or two earlier.


• the location - this was because the actresses we used couldn't have more than an hour here and there to film with us therefore we couldn't find a better location than we had for the amount of time we were given.

Our successes were everything else but the main one was the editing because i was able to put the narrative into place well on the timeline according to the song and my partner bi was able to add all the effects so it really worked well together.

We have worked really well together I think because we both have different skills to put together to make a good project. We could have planned a bit earlier and worked things out because we kind of left it a bit late but not too late. Apart from that I think we put 100% effort in it .

I had a few external factors that effected my work such as football on weekends so I couldn't do certain times on those days and also the actresses couldn't do certain times either so we didn't have a lot of time.

I think people might respond really well to our promotional as i think it is really creative and really blends with our song and artist that we chose.

I think I would definitely be able to use the skills and effects i used in Final Cut Pro. Also the techniques i used in filming and photoshop. Everything really i have learnt so much in this project and that's why i enjoyed it.

I have been in independant enquirer here because I had to work by myself and think over what I personally have done.

History of photography

I have now finished my essay on history of photography. I have included these sections:

• History of photography
• Past practitioner (louis daguerre)
• Present practitioner (Nick Knight)
• Timeline
• Overall Summary
• Bibliography

Here are some quotes from my essay:

1. 'I think socialand cultural developments has influenced photography because we are able to see what happens in different parts of the world and how people live there lives differently to others.'
2. 'A man called George Eastmen invented the first film camera and made the company kodak .... The slogan he used was ' you press the button , we do the rest.'
3. 'I think technlogy has improved technology because we can choose whether how we want our picture at a touch of a button, whether it is black or white or colour or special effects added.'

History of Photgraphy

I have nearly finished this part of capture. I have decided to compare these two photographers:

Nick Knight and Louis Daguerre.

So far I have gone through the past to now of photography. I have also added a timeline to back this up. I have done a general summary of the history of photography. Mainly though I have focused on comparing Nick Knight's work and Louis Daguerre's work and how he influenced Nick Knight. Also the techniques and technologies used then and now and how we have got technology that we have got these days.

I have also put a bibliography in my journal to show the sources I have used

Reflection

Now we have nearly finished our music video, it just needs a few more bits and peices. I think so far it has gone quite well and has progressed alot in this last week. I am also quiter pleased how much better it looks when just adding a few simple effects to it. Now it is starting to look kind of professional. We've had a few problems such as getting actresses/actors and locations to get the right feeling to the video. Also getting the right narrative to go with the lyrics. I think the editing has been the most successful part as we are able to do it in our own time and make it how we want professionaly. I think our strengths are the effects been added to the video because it just transforms the whole video from amateur to starting professionaly. I think the weaknesses was the filming because we wasn't able to get the shots that we would like. This was because of many things such as weather but mainly time as the actors only had an hour free here and there. Overall i think the video is going very well.

Please add your comments here.

Music video continued

We have now finished filming and have started to edit it in Final Cut Pro. We haven't done alot to it yet apart from putting about half in the right order and timing acording to the storyboard. We haven't added any effects yet but will do later on hopefully once we've finished timing and laying out the video correctly.

I had to be an effective particapator here because we all had to work together to finish filming and completing it on final cut pro.
