1st Draft Unfinished Video

The reason my video is unfinished is because there have being problems with my actors and bookings and things like that, as ive only just passed my driving test it was difficult to get to the places i needed to get to, to perform filming, the major issue was getting my actor to the direct places at the right times this was bad because i need it to happen really, this has had a bad effect on my video.

Filming Overview

Overview on Filming: overall throughout my filming experience I have come to know that fault will happen and mistakes will be made, I have just got to come across them in the correct manner to succeed, some issues that I came across while filming are as followed: Actor not being reliable, to come across this I used my instinct and filmed around the actor this meant me filming things that didn't involve the actor as much, this was things like, filming in a nightclub or filming my establishing shots. As well as that the weather conditions sometimes didn't suit my needs, this is because the weather conditions aren't the best in Hull, this is bad because I originally planned for my video to be in the sun and to be a happy song where as now I have things what aren't suiting my needs such as the weather. Also some of the risks didn't come into account when I was planning my music video, this is because I wanted the best outcome of my video and to do this I had to push the boundaries by taking as many risks as possible, with this not taking place I was unable to shoot my video to what I had expected. Some positives that came out of my filming, these was things like booking out studios and making sure all my footage was pure and made sure it looked good, to do this I had to use organisation skills throughout booking everything, and for filming it to perfection I had too understand the circumstances if it didn't come off I had to go back and do it again for the use of my video.

Before I started my video I had to make sure everything was in place. This was things like, risk assessments, weather checks, actors ready and in failure of this I would have to have solutions to cure this, this could've turned out bad because I could have got to the place where I needed to be and to find out that something went wrong and to not have a solution for it would be terrible.

Ancillary Text Research - Posters

When looking at this poster it stands out to me because go the colours used throughout, the way they use purple blue and white really makes the poster glow and the colours chosen have fit together to make it look good, also they use a good font throughout which is consistent and professional because there was different fonts when looking at a poster it wouldn't look right because of the way your trying to get your product across which in this way is the album release. they make sure they've got all of the information on the poster to inform the consumers the correct information which they will then proceed to buy the product. They use the actor on this very well as they make her stand in a very weird pose which makes this poster different to any else which is good, i also like the side extreme close up whats used with the white paint on the left side of the poster.

I have chosen this one for my second option, this is because its something different compared to the first one, for example on the first one i could see that it was something to do with hip hop where as this one i could tell that it was going to be some kind of western/ indie album being  released i like the way they use an establishing shot rather than a pose shot of an actor, this is different to any other poster you see, also on this you can see the type of bold font they've used which creates an effect. This is because its like slap bang in your face and makes you want to read it as the writing stands out where as if it was small then i wouldn't be as interested in it because i wouldn't get drawn into it, these are some of the conventions I'm going to use when creating my album release poster.

This poster creates a different effect compared to the other two because of the way we see the actual cd whats going to go on sale, this is different because to the other two which had an establishing shot and a pose shot of the artist we see that the main image is the cd, this is good because the consumer will know what it looks like now so when they go into the shops they'll instantly know that the album they're looking for is that one, the way they use the big bold writing is effective swell because it makes the poster look very basic yet very effective, it says on the cd that you cannot pre order it, this is good because people have chance to listen to it before they buy it, this would be good because they're being cocky about their album basically saying we will give you chance to listen to it then you can come buy it, i will use techniques out of this poster towards my own.
