Production Diary

 This week I am happy with my progress as I have managed to complete all my research tasks. I recently looked into the rock genre as well as the influence rock had over the years. It was interesting to learn about how the different styles of rock music came about, as well as the rock icons at the time and the influence it had on society. Now that I have completed these tasks on my blog, I can focus on my music video, digipak and album poster. Then the planning posts should be a lot more easier to complete as I can record my progress and planning as I go along.

 This week I also filmed using the green screen. This is one of the most important aspects that I wanted to include in my video. I generally think the filming went well and I was able to gain some good footage. I also think I took a large amount of footage so I will be able to have a wide choice when it comes down to editing. Having filmed the scenes with the green screen for my music video, means I have completed all my filming - apart from any re-shoots that I may have to do later on.

 I have now started editing in class, which has proved to be difficult already - mostly because it is very time-consuming. I have started by organising all my footage in folders on the left hand side on Adobe Premiere. Now I am going through each clip and selecting the footage I want to be at the beginning of my music video. I am also continuing with my album poster by adding more specific information such as the ratings and reviews.
