(Pre)Production diary

15/10/21 On this day, i started writing about the brief that has been given. The structure in this blog post was in the form of filling out questions. For the next lesson, i am aiming to complete the brief fully. 18/10/21 In this lesson, i completed the brief. This was also including questions about the client and existing products. After this, i need to complete an in-depth client research. 5/11/21 In this lesson, i started creating a client research for Canon. I started off by secondary researching and writing about the history of Canon and then moved it into the different products they have done. I then started talking about the campaigns and collabs they have done. 12/11/21 In this lesson, i finished off my client research for canon. I then created a survey of google docs to conduct primary research into the target audience, using both quantitative and qualitative question. Next Friday, in the next lesson, i will screenshot and analysis the results. 19/11/21 In this lesson, i looke...

Research self assessment (updated)

After reflecting of the feedback, i have improved on it and added missing pieces of work etc.  I have added more content explaining about Mind and certain products they done in the past, one example being the Blue light project. I have added a narration to most, if not all, of my blog posts explaining what i have done for each task and why and also why it links in to future tasks. For example the videography task links to the tv advert as it was practice for doing different shots and learning why they are used etc.  I have also added my power point about mental health and the effect of smiling and also what type of people are more statistically likely to be hit with bad mental health compared to others.

PRINT (Flat plan, resource list, location scouting, health and safety, shooting schedule)

I have filled out paperwork to help with the production of the images. The paperwork consists of  location scouting, health and safety, personnel list and equipment list. These all have different purposes but all link in together, I also created a flat plan.  The location scouting is so there is a visual, written down plan almost of where the location will be, how long you will stay there, is it interior/exterior etc.  The personnel list is to show who will take part in the production other than the photographer. Risk assessment part b is it show what the risk is and how you can prevent it.  The equipment and resource list is to have noted down what equipment is needed for the shoot. Risk assessment part a is to show what the risks are by ticking them off. I have created a flat plan for my print advert for Canon. This is so for when i create the product, i already have a plan of placement of where stuff is going.   

Podcast production resources

The main resource that I used to record the sound was a microphone, connected to a  sound box, connected to a desktop using the garage band app. This was so I can then edit the sound later on.  Microphone The microphone that was available was a handheld microphone but I did not hold it so the noise would not get distorted off any breathing causing movements.  Soundbox The sound box was used to convert the microphone signals into a format the computer/software  recognises.  Desktop/Garage band/ Logic Pro The garage band's job in all of this was to record the audio that was coming from the microphone and so it would be saved, so I can edit it later. Even though I was not going to edit using this software, I still wanted it on there so I can then go and save it in my documents to then use on any computer and then begin the editing. I edited this podcast on Logic Pro, this is because it has more accessible options to edit sound. It is better to edit on a DAW (d...

Feedback from pitch

Image
      3. 2. 1. From the feedback i received, it shows that the main thing i have to do to improve is expand on the idea more and went into the specifics of the idea and how it will. I have taken on board the feedback from my peers and have improved on my rationale. I have done this by firstly adding more content to my power point, further explaining the narrative of the tv advert. I have also expanded my powerpoint by explaining the reasoning why i have chosen to take the tv advert in the direction i want to- as well as adding more detail to everything else. What i have learnt from this is to have more detail in the powerpoint instead of things just being brief.
