Magazine Advert (2nd Draft)



This draft has changed quiet a bit from my previous draft as I didn't like much about my original draft. For this draft I decided to keep the colour scheme I had featured throughout my product in order to keep continuity throughout. Other than this I changed a lot in my second draft, including tinting the image instead of having it appear completely as black and white as I thought it gave it a more unique tone. I also decided to change the font I used for my text, opting to used one from dafont instead of one off Photoshop as they would likely not be used on a real product so using this text makes it look more professional. There is still some stuff I am not happy with about this draft, specifically the review section meaning I will most likely go back and change this to either make the reviews smaller or remove them altogether,

Magazine Advert Draft


This is the first draft of my magazine advertisement. There is much I am not happy with this draft including the font I have chosen to use and how empty the page looks overall. The stars for the reviews are also too big and need to be shrunk. The release date for the album font also needs to changed if the rest of the font is going to change.

Day 6 of Filming (23/3/2015)

On this day I filmed with my actress Lauren at and around college. I decided to film here because I was beginning to struggle with time and Lauren being free to film outside of college so I knew it would be easier to try and complete some filming at college.

To film I needed to borrow a camera and tripod from college. I was able to keep the equipment I had used previously filming with Danny for this filming. However, I encountered a problem when the camera battery ran dry. I was able to get a replacement battery for the equipment manager so this did not become a problem.

I first filmed in one of the classrooms in college as this was a setting that fit the events that were happening on screen at the time. I then went to film on a street outside the college and managed to find Amy who was willing to be in a few shots of my video.

Overall, I am happy with the filming I have managed to get on this day as it has brought me closer to completing my filming leaving me with only some bits that need to be filmed at my house before I will complete my video.

On this day I got shots; 37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58

Day 5 of Filming (22/3/2015)

On this day I arranged with Danny to film for the performance part of my music video, including re-filming the parts I had already filmed for the performance due to removing the microphone from my video because, in my opinion, it didn't look very good.

I borrowed a camera and tripod from college and arranged with Danny to meet at the mound at 11:30. We were able to film for a few hours and managed to finish the shooting that I needed to do with him.

While we were filming I asked him to wear a denim jacket I owned because I thought it fit in with the character I was trying to portray in my music video.

Overall, I am happy with the filming I managed to complete on this day as I was able to complete the filming I needed for the performance part of my music video making it easier for me to fit the narrative around the editing I have to do.

On this day I was able to get shots; 3,4,5,10,11,12,13,22,23,24,31,32,35,36,45,46,59,61,62,63,76,77,81,82,83,89,94,96

Day 4 of Filming (13/3/2015)

Due to the recasting of my actress I had to re-film some shots I had already taken which I wanted to do as quickly as I could. For this reason this is the first thing I did after I re-cast reshooting the shots I had taken on the 14th of February. Lauren came over to my house and provided a camera and tripod for me as I had forgotten to check one out from college. She was only able to film for 2 hours on this day so we had to try and complete as many shots as we could in that time. We were able to complete the reshoots I had wanted to do but were unable to shoot any new footage as Lauren had to go before we could do that. I had asked Lauren to bring a verity of outfits on that day incase we were able to get some more shots taken.

I used the same props I used in the filming session with Sarah, although I had to rewrite the letter from her father.

Overall, I am pleased with the way filming went on this day as it has got the beginning of my narrative filmed meaning I will be able to begin re-editing my video with my new actress.

On this day I was able to reshoot shots; 1,2,6,7,8,9,17,18,19,20,21,25,26,27,28,29,30

Change of Actress

Due to issues regarding the scheduling and reliability of my actress Sarah Baynes I have had to find someone else to take her part in the video, recasting her with Lauren Schofield who I believe will be easier to schedule as we both go to the same college. Also due to this we will be able to film during college hours which I could previously not do. Due to this I will have to re-film the footage I managed to get with Sarah which I will be doing within the next few days.
