week 9 production log

During the course of the week we continued to do the pre-production sheets in which we began in the previous lesson regarding the evaluation for the music video such as the improvements we would do if we did this particular module again we filled in the sheets with whether we had problems or not within filming and what laws we kept  within our music video such as copyright laws and how we kept them within the music videos and how we used constraints to avoid any issues of privacy or confidentiality for the businesses in which we filmed in. We also did a sheet on the codes of practice and research logs for each of the roles for the next assignment which we will be doing within the media course in the future. After having done some of the sheets were able to upload our final media pieces for the music video onto both of our YouTube accounts for the public and sir to view and comment on. We didn’t face any large major problems in completing the sheets there were only a few minor problems within some areas of the work in which were able to overcome on our own as a group this had been our final week for the piece of media work we needed to do for the media music video and so we could focus on the future task in which we were set which was the live day which we needed to create regarding our music video.

Production log

During this week we began to finish any editing that was required for us to do to make our music video look of the highest standard and quality in which we could achieve for this module. We stayed behind after school to finish any editing which was required for the music video to look of the best quality we could get it to be within that time period we had got the new shots which we filmed again in the new location and added them into the music video before we began editing them we began to sort out any problems which sir had found within our music video to make it flow more smoothly between each shot and look more appealing to the audience which we aim it at we had a few problems within the editing as some of the shots were shaky and unsteady which we couldn't re film due to the amount of time we had left as this was the final deadline week in order to film so we kept the shots which we had already and edited them despite that they were not the best, after we had edited the music video we had showed sir the final piece of the editing and got permission to continue into rendering the music video before uploading it to YouTube and to our bloggers. We returned the equipment which we may have used during the module in order to film the music video and began sheets for the evaluation of our music video in this module after having uploaded to both our accounts. In next week’s lesson we aimed to continue the evaluation sheets which we had began after we had uploaded. 

week 7 prod log

During this week we aimed to have finished any of the other shots which we may have needed to re film due to the way some of the locations looked with shot types and shot angles for our music video. We made sure we stayed behind to edit out music video to see if there were any problems which we could fix or perhaps re film and re do such as within any of the shots which were in the music video. We found some problems within our music video with a few of the shots which we had gotten over the weekend such as the argument scene we had filmed within the cafe and my house so we had to try and eliminate the problems by editing them or re filming them in order to make them look more professional and avoid any problems which may cause it took look unappealing to the audience which we aimed our music video to. We faced some problems in the fact that we needed to re film some of the shots for our final piece for the module which we needed to re film within a small period of time apart from these we had little to no other problems within making the music video during that week. Next lesson me and prabjhyot had hoped to complete the shooting as that is our last week and we needed to begin our editing for our music video so we couldn't afford to waste any more time within re filming any shots as this would cut into our music video editing time.

6th prod log

During this week we began to edit the shots which we had got during half term in order to show sir the shots in which we gained for the music video within the period of time in which we were given however once we had shown sir he had told us that the shots were not of good quality due to the lack of camera knowledge within the shots the types of shots were not correctly used prior to the deadline week so on the following weekend we began again looking for a new location to film our music video in we found a new location within the shopping centre of Ilford we found a cafe which gave us permission for us to film our music video in their locations we managed to get a range of new shots which looked of substantially higher quality with regards to the shot types or shot angles which we first did and showed sir we then came into school and showed sir the new shots which we had gotten he found them to be of higher quality than the previous shots in which we did, we filmed a large majority of the shots on the weekend for the music video as much as we could get filmed we did as many improvements which needed to be done on the music video which were required by sir. In next week’s lesson we aim to begin editing our music video with all the shots we had got from the weekend in our new location below is the new location which we had found called auntie Anne which is a cafe in which we filmed within.

5th prod log

During this week we filmed a large majority of the shots which were required to be in the music video whilst also trying to find a new location to film due to being unable to film within the bars we had asked including the harvester bar themselves we got onto contacts with new locations and went out and asked many locations such as bars cafes and cinemas to use a small area of their premises to film some of our music video. We began to film some shots as we had not found any locations which would give us permission to film on their premises so we continued the shots which we could get without any permissions we tried to use the park as a alternative to the bar scene but it did not look as good as the bar scene and so we continued looking for the bars and re film if we had found a new location which would allow us to film within their location and premises, this was a problem as it was very time consuming as every bar mentioned they had privacy issues with us filming on their location so we had the dilemma of trying to find a new location for us to film within so we began asking cafes. Next week we aim to have found a new location and continue to film the relevant shots which we could achieve with no permissions from other outlets within our music video

4th production log

During the course of the week we went to the area in which we were going to film within which is the harvester bar to ask whether or not we could film within their bar or not if not we would need to go and ask in other location similar to the harvester. We went to the harvester bar as well as three other bars within the area to ask whether we could film on their premises or not, me and Prabhjyot went and asked the bars and managers of the bars in order to find out whether we had been granted permissions we waited for them to get back to us in regards to the permission to film mean while whilst we waited for them to get back to us we decided to take shots which did not require for example with the scenes outside of my house as well as within my house which did not require any permission in order to film, during this filming during the week we received the call from the bars with regards to filming within their bars they declined us saying that we were unable to do any filming within their premises this was a problem which we needed to fix and change in order to get a new location we tried our best to receive a new location during the next week we will try and find a new location in order to film in such as a new bar of a cafe.
