Going to miss Group 21 and music video making! :(

Above is a short video of us being silly - pretty much sums up our friendship.
Romy, Luke & Khadeeja -I know I promised I wouldn't show these to anybody but c'mon! We're just lovely aren't we?


I'm going to miss Group 21 so much! You guys have definitely been the best group, couldn't have been in a more efficient, fun and hard working group! Seriously! I don't remember having a bad day with you guys! It was all fun, fun, fun. I really loved working with you guys! The whole music video making experience was something I'll take on with me.


Romy - Wish you all the best in your singing career!

Luke- All the best in whatever path you take, never stop what you do.

Khadeeja- I think it's fair to say, have fun splashing money when you become a billionaire aha!

Teachers (Rebecca, Marisa and Mary) thank you so much for all your effort, your help and for being there when I needed help - couldn't have done it without you guys. I also would like to thank the technicians Trevor and Micky for helping me too, they were very patient with me. (I know I've been a pain - sorry!)

P.S

 I can honestly say that I feel more like an ICT student  than a media student... I'm pretty sure I know how to work a computer inside and out!

Once again, Thanks guyssss! Adios x

Evaluation Question 3-How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?


This is a short tutorial clip on how to use the capzles timeline as it is a bit confusing.

Below is an animation storyboard that I created just for the fun of it - hope you like it though!

Evaluation Question 1

In what ways does your media products use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? Get rid of the youtube videos (or split them into smaller sections)





Here are some examples of following conventions that appeared in my music video:

Evaluation Question 2

How effective is the combination of your main product (video) and ancillary texts (digipak and advertisement)?



here are some shots of the music video to help visualise the music video and to show how it relates to what the people in my video were saying about how the ancillary work links up with it:

Advert

I followed the conventional layout of pop digipaks/adverts for e.g. visual style, colour scheme, shot type of image, font etc. I did this because my aim was to make it appear professional.

Evaluation Question 3

How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages? 

Using the blog (part 1)
Using the blog (part 2)
I also recorded videos and posted them onto the blog so that i didn't use too much of the same thing (e.g prezi or go animate)








Here's how i used photoshop when edited and creating my ancillary work:


Here's how i used final cut pro to edit the music video together:


It's All Over :'(

Ramble: 

NOOOO everythings finished which means no more  blogging and no more group 21 :(

i've been so lucky this year and last year as i've been in such amazing groups with some really hard working people.

Last year i was with khadeeja and taija and since it was the first year at college i was shy and needed to come out of my shell and being around khadeeja and taija really brought me out of that shell :)

This year i was worried about being in a new class with people i potentially didn't know however when i realised that Khadeeja was in my class again i relaxed a bit because at least i knew somebody!
Then when it came to choosing who we wanted in my group i was desperate to have Khadeeja in my group again because of how well we had worked the year before. Once we were in our groups i got to know Andreia who is honestly one of the nicest girls i have ever met, so friendly and beautiful and kind! and i also got to know luke who is again such a nice guy with a great sense of humour (since i did take the micky out of him sometimes!) he was the only guy in the group aswell so he had a alot of female company but he didn't seem to mind.
we all got along really well i feel like ive made some real friends.
i loved making the video with those guys because we all worked really hard to make the best music video possibly and it was nice to be surrounded by such motivated people aswell.

I'm sad that i will no longer be working with them however i really hope we all stay in touch!

We will always been group 21 in our hearts ;)

this is the last blog post i will be doing which is also very sad :'(

it's been hard, cold and stressful but i've loved every minute of it and working with Khadeeja, Andreia and Luke have made the experience even better!

Its All Done & Dusted!

I can't believe the time has come, but this is literally my last post for this year in media. It's gone fast, I've learnt sooo much (I even started my OWN blog because of it!) and I've had a ridiculously fun time. Even with deadline stress and weather problems when trying to shoot; this course has been very influential on the way I see things, people, how I present my work and how I see myself -  It's one of those things that you'll always remember, because it helped shaped you.

I wanna say a big THANK YOU to all of the Media teachers for putting up with my sometimes high-maintainance demands and trusting me to do what I do best. AND OF COURSE A HUGE THANKS TO ALL MY MEDIA BUDDIES THROUGHOUT THE YEARS...

Group 29 (AS)

Taija Clarke and Romy Deighton, you girls were the best in the world
to work with, so focused and so determined to do well and create
the best content, I couldn't have asked for a better team!
I missed working as a unit even this year during A2, 
Love you girls x

Group 21 (A2)

Luke Zelkowicz, Andreia Loureiro Cardoso and (once again!) Romy Deighton.
Gosh, you guys have got to be some of the MOST EFFICIENT teenagers in
the world, we bounced off each other well and we made something truly
amazing together. I like to feel like we bonded in the extensive time we spent
together (lol) and I really hope we stay in contact for future awesome projects to be made!


And so this concludes my final post. Aaah, its a bittersweet moment; but at least now I won't be waking up at 3.00am on a Sunday morning and wondering if I've blogged enough for the week!

Its been fun, and so - for the last time (no tears, no tears!), This Khadeeja Paul - Signing off x


(Okay I lied, plenty of tears)

Production - Photoshop I did today, how it went & what is left to do

Today I finished working on my back panel digipak, I started on my inside panel digipak however it's not finished and I still need to:


  • add the artist title on the disc
  • add the digipak title on the disc
  • add the record labels on the disc
  • add the copyright information on the disc
I also don't like the disc - I'm thinking of designing it differently. The colours are too much which to me isn't appealing.

I've started creating my advert which in fact is nearly done. All that is left to do on my advert is adding the magazine reviews, Q code, ratings-stars, artist website and when it is out.

Hopefully I'll be able to finish by tomorrow! :)

Evaluation Question 3

Tuesday 21 January 2014

Production- Photoshop process and Daniele's opinion

https://docs.zoho.com/file/udqvh9e539d93dffa44049051e4e7df31b4ed
 
I received a lot more comments relating to my digipak and ideas however I lost all my recordings and could only find this one of Daniele. Ironically, her comment is the only one that is positive the other ones were of Luke, Naziara, Chan, and my friend Lolade who disliked and gave me advice on how to improve it for instance all I remember they said:
 
Luke- "I'm going to be honest with you Andreia, I don't see how your digipak relates to the music video"
 
Naziara- "I just don't think the colour green on your digipak title works, sorry... The graffiti blur on the back panel doesn't link to any elements in the music video"
 
Chan- "Maybe another photo of Romy on the back would work instead of the graffiti blur"
 
Lolade- "The font of the digipak title looks cheap"
 

Planning - Video I did when on holiday (before I was ill)


Evaluation question 1

The video below is a quick clip outlining the similarities between our video and real music videos.
