Journal

Week 1 - In our first week we have been watching and analysing music videos by using Goodwin's theory of music videos, this is so we can gain ideas when it comes to planning and shooting our music video.

Week 2 - For the second week our group decided on creating a music video for a pop boy band called 'Boyz 4 Now' and using the song 'It's Gonna Be Me' by 'Nsync'. We looked into what might make our band different from bans from the past such as 'Take That' and 'Backstreet Boys'. We decided on using an idea of that each band member has a different power throughout the video, Earth, Fire, Water and Air. This is because we wanted to use an aspect of the movie Twilight because it has been a huge hit to our target audience.

Week 3 - For the third week we have started on creating a questionnaire and doing an audience profiling, this is so that we can have a better aspect and understanding of our target audience.

Week 4 - This fourth week has mainly been about the storyboarding, what ideas we have created to use in the video, how we could use different micro-features in the video, to try and use a wide variety of shots and angles in the video.

Week 5 - In the fifth week we have finished creating the storyboards and starting creating the animatic for the music video. We have also started gathering RECCE photos of the places where we are going to film.

Week 6 - The sixth week was mainly about us creating our digipack's for our band.

Week 7 - In the seventh week we had to change the idea of the video due to a group member leaving, we managed to changed the story of our video and still keep the elements of a 'Twilight' like video using our powers of water, fire and earth.

Week 8 - This week we are focusing on getting the filming done as soon as possible so we can start editing the final video piece.

Week 9 - In this week we are filming our music video and uploading most of the footage onto final cut for editing.

Week 10 - This week we are editing the footage that we filmed last week and also filming the rest of the footage that starts off the music video. Once the filming is done we should be close to finishing the editing the video.

Week 11 - We have almost filming for the music video and now have almost completely finished the editing, we just need to film us dancing but with close ups because our video consists of too many mid and long shots which we will be filming tuesday 13th december.
