Update on everything

So... Its January and everything in accordance with my music video, digipak cover and poster are in full effect, the first shooting day was done during the time I had off at Christmas and I am now working through editing, adding special effects and generally making everything sharper and to the standard that I would like them to be at.

In terms of my Research and Planning, I feel that it is going well, however, there are still quite a few things that I need to research and give my idea on how to make it apparent to my audience how I am going to make it seem like my story will seem very realistic.

For my target audience, I feel like I have conducted sufficient target research work in order to gain the idea of who I am aiming my music video at (both males and females from the ages of 16-21). I have done this through the use of a quantitative and a qualitative analysis (a filmed focus group [check out my youtube video!] and an online questionnaire [another blog post conducted late last year]).

In terms of my characters, I believe at this moment in time that I have got that covered and will only have one character throughout the music video (View my character profile to see who it is!). In terms of how he acts on camera, he is very confident and shows obvious signs that he is following the conventions through the way he speaks, the way he looks at the camera and he looks very comfortable.

I feel like although I have completed my final treatment now (hopefully my story doesn't change again) I have not created a sufficient image for you my audience, as previously mentioned, so, be patient, it is coming, and hopefully you, my audience will get a better idea of what I am trying to film. If I do a storyboard, it will create a shot list for you and me to follow.

In terms of my time management, I feel like it has been okay because over the space of 5 months, I have posted 30 blog posts now and I feel like my story has really come along pretty well.

For the aspect of the digital technology/ICT, I will be posting some screenshots of the software that I will be using soon (Adobe Premier Pro, Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop)

Furthermore, what I am thinking of doing on top of this in order to give you a better idea of how everything is going to look, I am thinking of publishing another video, perhaps a behind the scenes of how everything is going to look, maybe explain my shot list and my story board as well. However, this is dependent on whether or not I will be allowed to at a later date.
