Teacher Feedback

Sponsorship advert - Mid Level 2 - a great idea with appropriate music. Unfortunately it's apparent this was filmed at the last minute - your actors could have put more "oomph" into their acting and you need to cut the last shot of the girl laughing out.

Advert - Mid Level 2 - your idea for this had many more scenes included and it would be great if you included some of them. A title is needed at the end showing the product. The music isn't a definite yes - it could be more contemporary like your sponsorship ad is.




In response to this feedback we are going to take on board the teachers pointers. We will most likely try and refilm some of the sponership adevert, and i will have a think over the next few days of how to imporve it. For the main advert they gave us feedback for, we have a scene to film and put in so that should be no problem. We may have to re consider the music, however this was a posotive point that the peers gave us about our advert (& in all fairness they are out target market not old teachers).

On tuesday we are going to re-film the first advert in the resturant udring the day time to get maxium use of light.

Peer Feedback

In todays lesson, we peer assesed each work (those that had done moving image).
Here is the respone we got from our classmates about our sponership advert & the second advert we have filmed.

Sponership

-Need to consider ending it with a Title/Image of product
-The cheesyness of the advert links well with the theme
-The last shot could be cut shorter

Second Advert
-Some narration could be added
-'Oven shot' works well.
-Music fits well
-Title at the end is needed
-Contrast with the speed of Sadie moving fast and the slow clock looks good



We are going to take these points on board, in order to create a better peices of coursework.

We Have Now...

been told we have untill the end of January to complete out coursework. This means we have longer to film, and to also refilm certain bits thats need improving.

Next week

The targets for this weekend and next week are:

-Re-film the rest of the first advert
-Edit the first advert
-Add music to the first advert
-Film the beginning of the second advert
-Edit the beginning of the first advert

Even though the school's equiptment is awful, we have to make do as we have no other back up. So we have to get on with it.

Editing

As yesterday went terribly wrong, i had come into school today optimistic. This lesson i have editied the beginning of the first advert as Eve is ill at home. I have taken a camera out to record the rest of the first advert. I have asked Eve if she could ring up her boss to see if we can use the poachers again. I also got feedback from my radio advert that I filmed and editied wednesday. Mrs Hammond had said it was good and there is no point re-filming it to gain or loose a mark as Mrs Somel suggested. Thankfully we have a week extension due to Eve's illness.

Joke Of A Day

today was a nightmare!!

I came into school, we edited the sound into the tv sponership sequence, and the sound into the second advert (in the kitchen). Then we filmed the addiction group in a drama room with a Drama teacher and four student. BUT .... after we did this when trying to upload it hadn;t actually recorded and the camera did't pick it up. We could not re film this again as there was a lesson and the drama teacher could not do it.. soooooooooooooo

We filmed the car park scene with camera 5, which we was told was old however would work. But again when we came to upload it on the macs the visual image was there but no audio sound because the camera was faulty.

We were told to then refilm but this was the time i had my doctors appointment so could not re film. I did consider not going in order to re film but though that would not be the right option. I have now been told that i have a chest infection and am on anti bitotics and need to be getting rest. However i wont be getting rest because i have to be in school to re-film.

Also while i am on a rant, i think the school is out of order giving certain individuals extentions because of whatever reasons. This is not fair as i it should be one rule for everyone.

AHHH

I am very much disliking how porely i am at the minute, and how much work we have to do in order to meet our deadline. Tomorrow morning i am going to the Doctors so hopefully i will get somthing to make me feel a little better...!

I know being ill is no excuse because like alot of people we are behind, however it dosn't help the situation. This has effected our plans as we can't re-film at the poachers now becausethe time available given to me in order to do this now taken up with me going to the doctors...

After i come back, i am going to infect Lutterworth and go and help Heather as much as i can to film the short bits we have to do for both adverts and just put the music onto the radio avdertisment. After this is done, we will do outr best to film at poachers on thursday morning, and then edit thursday afternoon and evening and put finishing touches to it Friday. This is not ideal as it will be rushed in order to get it done friday. I just pray there is enough camera and mac's availabe.

Almost forgot..

Another of the ancillary tasks is the radio advert which i will be recording tonight. I will use my mum and dad rather than teenagers so the advert seems more relaistic. I wil also edit that tomorrow morning before we start our first advert.

Tomorrow's plan

I will be in school in the morning so i will add the music to our sponsorship advert. Unfortunately Eve is very ill at the minute with what we think is the early stages of Glandular Fever. So she is booking herself into the doctors tomorrow. Hopefully we will be able to film in the poachers after she has been to the doctors. We will be filming the first advert becuase last time we filmed it we couldn't use the material as the lighting was terrible. We would be heading back up to school after that so we can edit as much as we can until thursday. Get well soon Eve!

Filming the sponsorship advert

For our sponsorship advert filmed 3 people having a sort of yoga class. I was the instructer as we couldn't find anyone else available to do it. We basically filmed them holding a doodle noodle pot but excersising with it. Luckily, we managed to finish filming within an hour as the rest of mine and Eve's time was for editing. We finished editing the sponsorship advert and extracted all sounds from the clips. I added recorded sounds of my voice throughout the advert, but making sure my voice was in sync to the movement of my mouth. I also added at the end 'Doodle Noodle's sponsoers Britania hight'. as this is a sponsorship advert. Britania hight links to the advert as it's all about dancing and excersising. Eve has found some tracks of copywirte free aerobic uptempo music that we can use so i am picking it up from her later to add to the advert tomorrow.

The Next few DaysPlan!!

As the dealine is on friday we have to seriously plan and use our time wisely so that we can meet the dealine. We have perpared what we are going to do each day and we will definatly stick to this no matter what!


Plan Of Action For Tomorrow


1. For out media lessson tomorrow i will not be able to make it because of dentist! Grrr.. So heather is going to prepare the radio advert and then come to my house where we can record it in quiet.

2. Then we are going to the Pre school where we are going to film the 'Addicted noodles' scene. Heather Mum is acting as the counceller, and we have asked a few of out friends to also be in it.

Tuesday

1. During media lesson period 2, we are going to film out anciallry task (Tv sponership sequence). This is not ideal as we need the time to edit during this lesson however this is the only time the dance studio is free for us to use.

3. I have two freees thirds and fourth so during this time i am going to edit all of the Tv sponership sequence, the rest of the ssecond advert.

4. We are going to edit the radio advertisment, this may have to be after school if we do not have time.

Wedndesday

1. Heather is free all day, and i am up untill twelve oclock. We are going to film the section of the first advert in the car park during first lesson, edit this during second.

2. We are going re-film the first advert at the resturant at about 4 oclock. This will be really simple as we are simply just doing what we have already done previously.


Thursday

1. We will edit the first advert during 3rd and fourth lesson. We will stay behind school if needs be.


if we stick to this, we will be fine :)

More Editing On The Second Advert

We tried to shorten the advert lengith so we cut some time of each shot. This also helped give us the fast pace editing we were looking for.

Today I added the music to the advert. I have to cut the start and then repeat it so it kept the climax in the music at the end where she is satisfied.
