Diary of production

Diary of production - Video

In my first location where I started to film, We took many different video clips so I was able to choose the best one when it came to editing and producing the music video.
 The shoot went really well and I was able to capture all of my clips within a short period of time. This meant we could go straight to our next location to film.






In the next location where I filmed, I had to ask for permission to be able to film because this is the location where the main character buys the lottery ticket. Once again, we thought it would be best if we got a few of the same pieces footage so I was able to pick out the perfect video that would feature in the real thing. I had to make sure how much it would cost me to buy a lottery ticket and also to see whether I was the legal age to purchase one as well. The shoot went really well and it meant I was onto the next location.




I arrived at my next location. when I was about to be filmed I made sure I had all of my shopping bags (props) with me and that they looked like they had clothes shoes etc inside of them to give the video that realism effect.  As soon as I had recorded all of my footage, I left the location and moved onto my next one.


At this location (also known as my house) we were filming the sections of the film where the two other characters lip sinked and I showed off and threw all the money that character got rewarded in the air. This was a funny shoot as when the character threw the money in the air, some of it didn't return. We managed to find it after 10 minutes of looking everywhere for it.



This is the location where my character buys his brand new car. Just before we were about to film the section of the video, the vehicle we were meant to use broke down and wouldn't start up again. This meant I had to result to using an Audi A1 instead. This shoot was very successful and we managed to get a lot of great footage.



At this location, I was filming the [arts where the main character lip sinks and also sets up the microphone and turns the dials to get best sound he can possibly get. This was a really fun shoot as I got the experience to be performing in a sound booth. I was able to get a lot of footage at this location to help me with my video crucially.

Once I had finished filming everything for my music video I added in all of my shots in order onto my editing software which was iMovie.  I did this by looking at my shooting script and then adding them in on by one so I got them exactly right.

The next step into making my music video was to insert the music track and cut it down to exactly 3 minutes long but to also make sure that the song ended when a line of the lyrics ended and not half way through.

Once all of my clips were added into my video, I made sure that all of the sound was taken off them so that you wouldn't be able to here any sound apart from the music track.

Below is an image of me starting to edit my clips. I edited my clips so that they corresponded with what I have said previously in my shot list.

When I started editing this part of the video, I knew I had to be accurate with every decision I made with cutting down pieces of footage. The reason for this was because I knew I had lip sinking features of the video coming and I would definitely need to get them on point with the track.



At this stage of me editing, I had to make sure I made all of my performing clips corresponded to the song. This was really difficult as I had to make sure eleven video clips could fit in a short amount of time whilst in sync with the lyrics in the song.

At this certain section of the video, I have added to video to be played at the same time. This meant that it would become a split screen feature of my video. I thought that this would be good to be in a music video because it shows my knowledge on using this specific editing software.

Throughout all of my editing process, I used the Ken Burns effect to show emphasis on everything that the character bought and to make the audience realise that this is certainly the best day of my life.

Diary of production - Website
When first creating my website, I made drafts of what would feature on my website. Below are the pictures of my draft website.




Once I had completed my drafts, it was on to making my real website. I decided to make one page of my website at a time because this was the easiest way to design and produce my bands website.

The first thing I did was too add in my title of the band at the top, in the centre of the page, to ensure that it stands out to the viewers of the website. I chose the font "Arial" because its clear and easy to read. I chose the colour red because as I have previously said in my statement of intent that my colour scheme is red, white, blue and a little bit of black. I chose the font size as 72 to make it stand out but also to give connotations of how big the bands popularity will be once everyone has listened to their new song "Best day of my life". This title is displayed on both pages of my website.

This is the result of my title.



Secondly, I imported my bands logo onto both pages to keep with the idea of consistency throughout my website. I placed the logo in the top left corner of my two website pages.

The next step I had to take forward was to make my navigation bar/menu.

I did this by clicking on the add button on the side of the page, then looked down the list for menu. From that, I chose a design I like and then put my own twist on it.













I made the pages in my navigation bar the colour of black. Also, I changed the font to arial because it makes it easy for the viewers of the website to read to enable them to choose the correct page they want to click on.










I chose 20 as my font size because in my opinion I think its the perfect size for the pages to be seen within the navigation bar. This is good for my bands website as their will be plenty of room for more content to feature on the website.

 I have also made sure with my navigation bar that when a viewer hovers over any page, it turns that certain page into red. I chose red to link in with my colour scheme.

Finally, when someone is viewing page, I made the page name change colour to blue to also connote my colour scheme.

This was my navigation bar. 

The next step into making my website was to add in my band photo.

                                                                                   
From this step, I clicked on my image uploads.

At the point, I had to choose which image I would lime to upload and my band photo, Once I had chose my photo, clicked on it and pressed upload.

This was the image I had chosen, I chose the image because it represents what the band is all about and that is living their lives to the maximum and to also always be happy.








I then started to write my about us section.

At this section, I had to choose what style I needed to import for the about us section of my website. I chose "Paragraph 2" for my title and "Paragraph 2" for the text.












From this point, I chose the font "Arial black" because it stands out very clearly and I also like my website to be consistent. These were also the reasons why I changed my font size, colour and making the subheading bold.

I chose to use the font "Arial" for my text because its clear and understandable to read.  I chose size 14 for my font and also made the colour of my text blue.

This is the result of my about us section.

The font, font size, colour are the same for every subheading and pieces of text throughout my website and also for my subheadings.












The next step into making my website was to add in my behind the scenes video.

 When I got onto this part of importing my behind the scenes video, I had to click on the youtube icon to the right hand side of the picture.

This then lead my onto this section. There was two different ways I could have imported my behind the scenes video. The first way was to click on search videos, and then type in the title of the youtube video that I had uploaded which was my behind the scenes video.











The second way to import my music video was to add in the web address that corresponds to my behind the scenes video. The way I had to do this was to copy and paste the link of my video into the box at the bottom of the first screenshot.

Once I had copied and pasted the link, my behind the scenes video appeared.

Finally, all I had to do was move into the section of my website where I wanted it to be.





I then created a subheading and text section above it giving the viewers a little bit of information.

This was positioned above my behind the scenes/bloopers video.

This picture was the finished result.

The next part of creating my band website was to add in my meet and greet information so that the fans of my band would be able to come and see us in person, ask any question and take a photo with us.

I chose a music records shop a my location for the meet and greet because I believe its a great environment to have a band meet and greet in a music shop.

When I started to create my picture gallery, I had to think what type of gallery would look the most professional. This is what I chose a gallery that change automatically to appeal to the users who can just enjoy the pictures without having to click any buttons.

I clicked on the add button (the same one that I had too click when adding in my video and pictures.)
After that, I clicked on "slider galleries" which enabled me to choose out of many different selections. In the end, I chose the gallery that was the first one listed.

Once I had chosen my style of picture gallery, I started adding my certain pictures that I picked to be added into it. These five photos are displayed in the picture to the left.

Once I completed adding and editing some of the pictures, I clicked done and positioned my gallery in the correct place on my website.

This is the final picture gallery in working fashion.

The next step into making my website was to add in the production logo and Sonys logo. I placed these two images together and placed them in the bottom right corner on both of my website pages.

Once I had finished adding in my production company logo and Sonys logo, it was onto adding in social media links for my band. The social media platforms I added in were

• Instagram
• Facebook
• YouTube

To complete this, I clicked on the add symbol, then clicked onto social. Once I had liked on social, I clicked on social bar and I decided to choose the black white style which is displayed at the bottom of the list on the picture to the left. I chose the black and white style because I think it looks the most professional out of all the different styles that I could have chosen from. 

I then deleted all the social media icons that I didn't want to include on my website. When I had completed that, I linked each of the icons that corresponded to the certain social media platform.

Another feature I changed with this style of my social media bar was that I changed it from horizontal into vertical so it fitted on my website page better and made it look even more professional. 

I positioned text next to each of the social media platform icons showing the name of the pages on them sites.

I changed the of the text compared to the other pieces of text that are featured in my website because the icons are not big enough for the text to be a bigger size resulting in me choosing my font size as 12.

This was the finished result on my social media bar. These are placed in the same area on both of my website pages.










I have now completed making the first page of my website which is the home page. Now it is onto making my tour page.

The first step into making my tour page was import my music video.


Once again, We click on my image uploads.

I then had to choose an image which will result in being the link to click on for my music video.

I clicked on add to page.

One I had placed the photo in the correct place, according to my draft that I had made before hand, I clicked on the icon that is highlighted in the picture to the left.

The next step into making my picture into my music video link was to add in the web address. I did this by clicking on the button that said web address which is positioned on the left of the picture.

Then I copied and pasted the web address into the input box.

Then I clicked done. This meant my picture was now the link to my music video.

I also added a paragraph underneath the link explaining what it the image is used for.

The text is the same size, font and colour as all of the other text features in my music video to once again keep the idea of consistency throughout the website.


I added the "ITS A BANGER" phrase in capital letters to emphasise how amazing the video is for all of the bands fan members.

Another feature I have decided to add into my tour page on my website is a recent album releases section showing the covers of the other albums the band have released before releasing their new single "Best Day Of My Life".

The subheading is the same size as all of my other subheading in my website.

I created the recent album release on a software called Adobe Photoshop. It was really tough trying to think of how to design the front covers of my albums. One idea I did have when creating my album covers was my colour scheme that I chosen for my website. The reason why I think this is because everything on my website links together through my colour schemes and many other features as well. Another idea I had when naming the recent album covers was to Link them all back to the connotation of why the band is called "Evolution" which is the action of changing Into something better than before. This is why one album in called "Making Progress" and the other album is called "Changing Faces".

The next part when creating my tour age for my website was to add in my tour section showing dates and venues.

The subheading that says "From the beginning" is the name of the tour that the band will be going on. I decided to change the colour to red to link with my colour scheme. Also I made the size of the subheading to 20 so that it still stands out but not in comparison to "Tour Dates".

I then added in the dates and locations. I decided to choose these locations as they are very popular so the tickets would be sold out for every concert that they perform on the tour.

The font, size and colour is the same as the other pieces of text that are placed on my website.

I the decided to add buttons so that the fans can straight away go and purchase ticket from the website for the location they would prefer.

I chose I plain and simple button that when there would be text added, it will be easy read and understand.

Once I had imported the button, I then changed the text so it would say "BOOK TICKETS". I made it into capital letters to make it stand out and and make the fans intrigued to buy tickets.

Afterwards, I made the buttons into a link so when the fans of my band would click on the button, it will direct them to another website to enable them to purchase the tickets.

Once I had copied the link, I needed to paste it into the box it needs to be added into.

Once I completed that task, I needed to click done and then my button would be finished.

The next step I had to undertake was too copy and paste the first button I had made several times until I had a button for each of the different concerts within the tour. The reason why I copied and pasted all of the buttons is because each connects is on the same page that the link takes you too after pressing the button to book the tickets.










 Finally, my tour section needed a picture of the band walking onto a stage for a concert the was sold out. I clicked on my image uploads.

The next step into adding my picture was to choose the best quality picture out of the shots that were taken.

Once I had chosen the best picture, I clicked add to page.

I the clicked on the crop button to enable me to edit it and change the shape of the picture.

I had to then click on the shape crop button. This button would then take me to a variety of different shapes that I could choose from to make my band picture into the specific shape that I would choose.

This was the variety of different shapes I could change my picture into. I was very interested in some of these shapes because they gave a funky vibe to the picture. On the other hand, some of the shapes couldn't fit all of the picture I was using.

In conclusion, I chose the circle as my chosen shape for my picture to become as it is simple but effective.

Once I changed the shape of my picture, I moved it into the position that looked the best. This position was underneath my tour dates section.

I then decided I was going to add a filter to this certain picture.

To do this, I clicked on the filter but that is highlighted in the picture to the left.

These were the different types of filters I could add onto my photograph.

I was clicking on every filter and seeing how good the picture looked with them on.

After a little debate on which one I was going to choose, I decided to use the "Kennedy" filter because it appealed to me the most out of all the different filters.

This was the finished result of the photograph.
