Construction : Reflection 3

REFLECTION

Currently we are in the construction stage of our coursework, we are filming our scene and we are finding it a bit difficult to get the hang of recording as we haven't recorded anything in a while. There are some weaknesses that we are all facing such as the difference between our schedules we find it difficult to find time to suit each of us to film . To solve this problem we have created a calendar which has all of our schedules which includes days that we work etc. This will help us get more organised and know specific dates which we are going to film.

Construction; Reflections 2

Construction : Reflection 1

Over the last half term my group and I sat down together and analysed what we wanted to do in going forward, because we lost the spark that we had last year, our chemistry had gone and we needed to get it back so that we could produce a good video like we did last year. So we went out as a group and spoke about the problems in the group and what we wanted todo with our video this year.
This meeting was very successful because we came to a conclusion of what we are going to do, we know what tasks everyone is going to do and everything is looking really good right now.

Planning : Staying Organised

Planning: CD Covers

 

This is our Cd cover for the front, I created this through Photoshop as I manipulated Rihanna's photograph that I have taken. I admire the concept of the CD cover because of the way the photograph has been placed as have I demonstrated on how we can be able to view things from a different angle as I have purposely made this girl Rihanna (Ralia) position like this.  Also, I purposely changed the colour to black and white because I think that it looks professional and looks better and also because it relates to Rihanna's website.

Here is the inside of the CD cover, I purposely made Rihanna pose like this in order to engage the audience attention by doing this I use disobeyed the rule of third as I made the Rihanna's eyes right in the middle because the first the audience will see is Rihanna's eyes right in the middle then focus on other aspects. Also, I purposely related the scene to the other media products in order to keep the consistency flowing.

This is the other side in the inside of the CD cover, as you can see Rihanna is posed in an completely different way because I wanted to portray what she is feeling as she even looks vulnerable and scared in this photograph as her shoulder are quite tense leaning against her shoulders as she hides behind the tree, this relates to the other media products as she demonstrates what she is feeling in this photograph.

This is the back cover of the CD cover, it contains lists of Rihanna's music video as well as the barcode, sponsorship company, our company name and the copyright. the reason why we have put all these items is because we wanted to make the CD cover look professional. I have layered out Rihanna to be on top of each other which is called overlay, I wanted to demonstrate the importance of what Rihanna's story is about as she looks quite sad in this photograph.

Planning: Concept Art for Website

Planning: Concept Art for CD Cover design

Here is our CD cover, the reason why we designed and even have a CD cover is because of the releasing of our music as the album cover is the importance part of music culture. The use of the artist being on the side of the cover is different as it is very intriguing as it is usually the artist is in the centre because of the importance but the importance is the title itself as it is extremely big and in the centre.

Planning - Master Catalouge

MASTER CATALOGUEThis is the master catalogue where we have placed the main props, locations in which our scenes will take place , actors who will take part in our music video etc. This is to help us know what we will be using throughout our music video. Actors include : Ralia Aminu as Rihanna the artist , and Aderonke and Demilade as the two friends who identify her dead body.  Props include : Bed, tub, medicine, alcohol , microphone etc. We will also be using other props but as we were asked to list fourteen we listed the main props. Below are screenshots of the different categories and what they include as well as a description of each , and where we will be using it. 

Planning - Calendar

CALENDAR

This is our calendar for the month of December and what we pan to accomplish by these dates by the end of the month , this is a good method of organisation so we know what we need to know and by when , also since we all have other subjects and other dedications such as a job for example , this really helped us to see when we are all free and available to dedicate our time to our media coursework , This calendar involves days when we are filming , days we are editing , and days we are working on the blog , we also incorporated days in which we knew we wouldn't be available such as the week we have study leave for our mock exam however we will carry on our own individual assigned tasks during this time e.g. blog work.
