The In todays lesson i held a focus group to re-do my focus group from before i did my FMP as the one previously got lost as my iPad died whilst filming. I found this effective to have a wider range of opinions when it came to before my FMP so i knew if my idea was good enough or not. I should have done this sooner but i had to re-do paperwork as i started again. In this lesson i also created questions and filmed a focus group for my finished FMP. I found this effective because i didn't think my photos were effective in that i didn't edit them enough or take better quality photos than i could of done and that they aren't really effective to people. By having this focus group it had given me more confidence in my photos as people really did get inspired by them as the editing was effective for people to look at. For example most people commented on my second photo when the image was black and white, whilst being blurred out where as the line of people were in normal colour, so the focus was on the line of people. I also did the visual/audio experiment sheet in this lesson, so not only my experiments are on padlet but i have explained the reasons for them in detail. I also completed the research analysis sheet that i had previously started. Filling out these sheets helps in that i know exactly what i have done towards the final image. This helps me in future to see the progression of my photos and influences to my photos.

In today lesson i printed off a check sheet to see what i have got and what i am missing. This included doing the action plan worksheet on the tube, another industry professional sheet for photography and starting the research analysis sheet. This helps me checking things as i can fill in the gaps where i have missed, this assures me that i have everything to date and hopefully getting a good grade. For next lesson i will complete the professionals sheet as it needs to be completed for padlet. Of course when starting my fop again i was required to start the same sheets i had already done again but from a photography point of view rather than a film producer.

In todays lesson i completed the rest of my editing. The only issues i faced with editing is what to do when editing. i didn't know exactly what i wanted to do when it came to editing my photos and i struggled with how to edit some. When it came to enhancing the lights above the stage, as I'm not good with photoshop, i kept forgetting where the tool was to lighten the photo and darken the top. So on the majority of my photos i have done the same type of editing. I went on youtube to watch tutorials to see what i could do differently and learnt how to break images so it looked like pieces of the images had smashed away from the model. However my photos aren't portraits so i feel that this tutorial didn't help me but it taught me something new on photoshop. I blurred the crowd a little below so the focal point was the people on stage. Again I'm not good at photoshop and didn't know the different types of tools, i tried but again it didn't work. This is going to help me for next time as i learnt some new things about photoshop i didn't know before.

In today lesson i continued editing my photos on photoshop. As i am not very good at photoshop i played around with the tools for a while until i came up with this edit below. For me as i am very rubbish at photoshop and get very frustrated when something doesn't go right on photoshop it took me longer than it should of when editing my photos. The only issues i faced was clicking on tools i didn't like the look of when editing. For example the 'Art history tool' was a main one i didn't like. For the image below it was the issue of trying to get the tool to colour everywhere black and white. When zooming in on the image to get it more accurate i lost the tool i had before and i couldn't find it again. However whilst looking i came across the 'History tool' this was make the parts of the image back to the original colour. So i colour the image in black and white. For me having this i didn't feel it was bright enough for my photo, so i went over the coloured areas with another tool called the 'dodge tool'. I re-learnt some things on photoshop and learnt new tools even though i didn't use a lot of different tools/

In todays lesson i completed all of the work sheets i needed to do for my fmp, task 3 on the tube. This is to identify key issues by assign the risks of what could go wrong and to map out where i started again doing my fmp. Doing the location reece is basically writing down when, what time and why i was taking the photos i wished to take. This is going to help me plan out the day of when i went to the concert and helps explain to people why i was taking the photos in the first place. My purpose was to show people to be more confident whilst being on stage and showing them that it would be okay by being on stage. For next time this helps me produce the photos exactly how i want them and helps me do my location for my photos. The only issue i found was depending on the weather and doing the right angeled photos that would fit my expectations. I also started to upload and edit my photos as i feel they needed a bit of editing.

In todays lesson as i have started again, but planned my photos for my photography series on draft paper before filling out the paper work on the qube so i knew exactly what i was going to be doing for my photography series. I started by filling out every part of the paper work that applied to my fmp. I filled out the location visit sheet and made a storyboard based on my draft one from before i took my photos. By doing a storyboard i maped out exactly how i wanted my photos to look like, what order they would go in and what the purpose of each photo would be. This made my life easier when it came to the concert and doing the photos exactly how i wanted them. However there was one unplanned photography shot i didn't specifically plan for when taking it, but i feel it linked with my photography series well enough. The reason i filled out the location visit sheet, was to let people who will be marking my fop, where i was shooting in order to get my photos. Obviously you don't need permission in order to shoot photos from inside the arena so i didn't need permission from anyone.

In todays lesson from last week i thought of a bunch of questions to ask people about my idea, printed a few out and wrote down what people said in general about my idea from my questionnaires. This helps me for my fmp as i know people would be inspired or like my photos and this helps me to come up with improvements if i have any and to help me see the flaws in my designs. For next lesson i need to do all of task 3 to help me move along with making my ideas come to life.

In todays lesson i decided to go solo by doing my own fop this involved re-doing my secondary research for photography instead of film director/producer. So i spent my time researching different companies and different ways to get into photography by what grades and expectations are needed to get into the photography lane. This is going to help me think of an idea for my fmp by using a photography series. The only issue i have with doing my own fmp, is that I've fallen behind on my work where as before i was ahead. Finding out things from research isn't always accurate and it tells me a multiple of different things that can vary. For next lesson this helps because by doing my research i thought of an idea i could do for my photography series so all i had to do was my primary research to find out if people support my idea.

The majority of people who filled out my questionnaires like my idea of doing a photography series at a concert and they would feel inspired by the concept of my photos and to go on stage. This was the whole purpose of doing a concert series, as most people get terrified at going on stage and how many people are watching them on stage. Most people who answered my questionnaire like photography and music, so for people it will be interesting to look at. What also has been pointed out on my questionnaire is that my photography series isn’t limiting for my age ranges and that it’s a good age range.

Purpose of Photography Series and Target Audience

# data[].attributes.body
For my photography series I was planning to do one at a concert, as I haven’t seen anyone else do a photography series at a concert. My target audience for this project would be from 15-30 year olds both genders. The reason why I chose this age range is because younger generations go to plenty of concerts. My concept for this sequence is because I’m very passionate about music and I feel younger people are to. I feel by showing a concert this can create a possible advert for people to be more confident in themselves by going on stage and putting themselves out more.

In todays lesson we stayed the whole day in the motion room filming our scenes for the music video. However we didn't realise that the video material was invalid. During this production i learnt how to work with other people in a proper production team. Compromising and problem solving within a group was the main thing i did in the group. For example when i was told to pan round ben i was suppose to do it when the music started, we compromised to do it at the singing point but then we changed it back because the movement of me going round ben was too slow for when the drop of the song happened. We compromised different angles this involving me standing on a chair to do a high angle shot, me laying on the floor to do a low angle shot and re-filming a lot of scenes. This helped me understand the different angles and how time consuming it is to do parts of filming or complete scenes of footage. The only major thing that went wrong was the tripod being put on the dolly and going slow with the dolly on my own i kept kicking it and i couldn't control both the camera handle and the tripod, so i had to have help.

In todays lesson I started and finished the project proposal to keep track of my progress and keep organised with unit 8 and writing up what ill be doing everyday until our deadline. This is so that we can be organised with our fmp and I know what I'm doing every lesson and what I have to do or left to do. This will help me for next lesson as I can look at what I have put down what I have to do and just get on with the task I set myself. I will also be doing a pitch of my ideas to my tutor, therefore ill be having to plan a powerpoint and creat one along with notes to show my tutor to explain my ideas.

In todays lesson i was asked to create a Detailed mood board and mind map of what the new brief is asking me to do and what ideas i have for my final major project. First of all i read through the brief, i was given and created the mind map to show i understood the brief. I learnt from this, what i have to do for my project and what i am required to do. I then continued to do my mood board of the chosen ideas listed in the brief. I chose to do a music video for my final major project. I then went on to detail where i got inspiration from and my favourite music videos to get inspiration. i also done research for what existing products to see from my ideas that were already existing. This helped me a lot as i came up with nemours amount of ideas by researching other ideas.
