Evaluation Question 2

Evaluation Question 1

Ancillary Products

These are the ancillary products for our media production, we had a number of difficulties when making them. Firstly, we had to retake the pictures for the products because they were deleted off the camera which we used, this was a problem because we had to keep everything the same such as the main protagonists costume. Due to this problem we also had to change front cover for the digipack and the poster, in the original picture the protagonist had his hands up to the sky but because of a recent weather change the synergy would be different between the ancillary products and the video. Secondly, we had to change the inside cover for the digipack because when taking the pictures we couldn't get the angle we wanted, we decided to have a close up shot of the two protagonists in the music video standing face to face to link the video to the digipack.

To make these products we used a combination of computer programs, we used Microsoft word, coral draw and paint. We couldn't  do everything we wanted on one program so we used a number of different ones to get what we wanted. We looked at the research we did on posters and digipacks and decided to add some conventions to our products that are normally used, such as the song titles down the back of the digipack, a barcode, website, star rating, company logos etc.

This is the original design for the digipack, you can see here the changes that we made to the final design.

Final Production Piece

Technical Difficulties

We have had a problem with the music video, there is a problem with the song. The music video is completed but we can't the song to play with the video, we will upload our production as soon as we have corrected the issue.

Final Cut

In the production there is a shot where we layered the shot of the two protagonists arguing on top of a shot of Oh Me Oh My showing up in writing on the white board, this was quite difficult to because we ha to use a program on the Mac called Final Cut but we didn't have it on the Mac we were using. We had to transfer the footage onto the other Mac to use the program, we also had problems using the program because we hadn't used it before. After a lot of experimenting and figuring out how it worked we managed to do it.

So far....

We have filmed most of the shots for our production, there are a few shots we are having difficulties filming due to the location and having to travel there when all members of the group are free. We still have shots to film with the female protagonist, because she is not in our group we have to film when she is free which isn't very convenient. We have been editing the footage as we go along so once we have filmed everything we shouldn't have to much editing to do. Another thing we have to do is layer are shot in the video, for this we need to use a program on another apple mac, this could take some time.
