production reflection 4

This week I have finished the opening montage of the show which shows small chunks of each music video that we will be using but also parts from the cha-cha dance and the interview that Shaker did. I had to only add in the indents into the video and make sure that I had everything and that the video was good enough to play. I also helped Gareth in recording the cha-cha slide. The thing that has been successful this week was getting all the work done and also finishes getting all the footage of the cha-cha slide because we could not find a lot of people that would do it. I would need to develop the opening mintage a little more tweaks. Next week I would need to make sure I have all the footage and also make sure that all the clips are in right order.

I have been looking over each music video and getting the timing for each one and also working out how long my opening montage is going to be. I was also looking for potential small clips that I could use in the montage and also finding out what will be done for about the pre-production videos that I could also add onto the montage. I would need to know all the clips and how long they would be so that each clip would fit the time of the opening montage; this would have to be done by next week.  

plan

For Shakira's video, we could use a clip from 01.05 to 01.13 when she is dancing and shouting at the camera. i could also use the end part of the video when she walks away to show that her part of the video is finished and it will also be clear that Shakira's video is finished and that there will be another music video playing next.







For Gareth's video,  we could use the footage from the 00:53 to 00:56 where jared walks up to the Famera. because there is a good background and i think it would work well as he is looking into the camera and lip-synching. otherwise we could use 01:07 to 01:10 because that is also a good shot and would work well.







 for Ted's and Hollie's video, we could use a clip from 01:45 to 01:48 where Alice and the blow up doll are having a dinner together. i thought that this footage would be good to use because it more or less explains the music video where there is a girl dating a blow up doll. the other option is to use the clip from 02.44 to 02:48 which is where Alice and the blow up doll is going around in a circle.

production meeting reflection 3

this week i had to finish the opening montage and and getting making sure that everything with the video is good such as the chosen song and if the video is the right length and also if it cuts to the beat. for the video i have chosen small 3 second clips from each music video and i have also included an interview. i have also though about adding the some other pre-recorded videos such as the cha-cha slide but i would need to ask the directer of what he thinks first. next week i would be making an opening for the m&m challenge and also i would be helping in getting footage or people dancing to the cha-cha slide and also fixing up in my gray areas so that everything is up to date and that the team and i are clear of what i have done so far and what could be improved on.

Production Meeting Reflection

Summaries how the production meeting ran
I thought that the production meeting was good as I knew what I could improve on and what my strongest idea was. Other people from the group also shared their idea for the show and this gave me a chance to get new ideas and to see what new ideas they have come up with. I thought that every individual had very unique idea and they all had different strength in different area and this is good because we could put in the ideas together to make a final piece. However, I thought that I didn't say everything that I could and that I didn't get my whole idea across.

What was the group’s response to your idea?
There were areas in the idea that I could have improved or that I didn't think through. One of the feedbacks that I had was that I did not involve the audience in the show a lot such as in the competitions. If I could have improved that idea, I would have thought of better games that the guests could play but also include the audience. There were some good ideas from my idea of the show and could be improved by merging it with the ideas of other people in the group. One example of this would be that I had an idea of having pain splashes included in the walls, but that idea could be merged in another person’s idea such as having the paint splashes on the chairs.

Whose idea did you vote for?
I voted for Becks idea because it is different to other shows and also it took my interests and sounded like it would be a good show to watch.

What did you like about the idea?
I like the idea of getting two couples to rap against each other because it is a new idea and I am sure that it would be successful as most of the audiences would like it because it is what most people of 14- 20 year olds listen to and it would also be fun to watch.

What aspects related to the brief?
the idea related to the brief such as aiming it towards young British adults and teenagers but also being creative and thinking of new ideas that would make the show unique.

What areas did you think needed development?
The idea does not seem to involve a whole lot of music genres and is nor varied. The show seems to be based on just rap, rip-hop and R’n’B. one example of this would be this would be the rap battle, even though it is a great example, the majority of the show is mostly based on my genre.

What other ideas did people have that you think could be incorporated into the final idea?
Another idea that is really good was Hollie’s idea of having a puppet as the host. This would make the show unique because there are not a lot of other shows that do that. Another of her great idea was to have an MnM contest where the guest have to try eating the most MnM’s with a chopstick.
