Diary:

Tuesday 5th February

Today I got most of the shots I planned to get, I got shots; [insert shot no.] I am pleased with the out come and it was a very productive day. Ellie was a great help as she did my hair, make up and some of the camera work, as well as helping with direction after I told her how I wanted the shots of Nathan and I to look. Both Chris and Nathan were great at following the directions given to them and as a result I am really pleased with what I have got, so hopefully I won't have to re shoot any. The rooms weren't fully lit and the lighting was dim to set the right mood, I wanted some video noise in these shots so that it looked hazy which represents how the memories are for the artist.


Thursday 7th February

Today I shot everything I needed and it only took about 20 minutes, however instead of shooting inside the woods I decided to shoot it in the feild just outside because the lighting was better and the sky was gorgeous because the sun was just setting. The lighting was warm which was great because it represented the happy memories but it also created some video noise to give the same hazy look to it.


Monday 11th February

I got every single shot I planned to get today!! However I do not think that the shots of Nathan on his own for the beginning of the video turned out as well as I had hoped and think that I will probably have to re-shoot these when I get chance and Nathan is free again.
The shots with Han do look good but I will have to look at them tomorrow afternoon and when I start editing and see what I think.


Tuesday 12th Februaury

Today I started editing the first draft of my music video. I was correct in thinking the shots of Nathan for the beginning of the music video needed re-shooting, there was too much video noise and it just ended up looking awful, I added the shots into my first draft so I can see how everything will look when I put it all together.
I got quite a lot of editing done today and I will hopefully have finished my first draft by tomorrow!


Wednesday 13th February

Today I successfully completed editing the first draft of my music video! I have decided what I would like to re-shoot and what I will change and adjust. I am pleased with how much I have done so far considering the mix up with who will feature in my video and organising when everybody is free to film.


Friday 15th February

I not only managed to design the drafts of my digipac covers and gather all the audience feedback, I also managed to decide on what my final digipac design would be like because the audience feedback I gathered was so informative.


Monday 18th February

Because I had already finished my first draft I used this day to upload my digipac designs onto blogger and evaluate them, as well as explain my choice for the final design.


Tuesday 19th February

I am planning to use this day to write about my first draft and see what needs re-shooting, doing differently, whether everything fits well together etc.


Friday 22nd February

Today I managed to get most of the filming re-shot and finished, the only shots I am left to get are the shots of walking down the corridoor to the trestment room.


Saturday 23rd February

On Friday during the filming process, Nathan and I fell out and he is now refusing to do anymore filming. I do not have time to find someone else and re-shoot the whole of my video again, so instead, today I came up with different ideas as to what I could do.
