A1, A2 and A3 are audio channels. --Channel Volume by either going right to make it louder or left to make it quieter.

Videos:
To detach a sound from a video you must press unlink if that has not already been done, and then to link it back, you do the opposite.

To speed up the video, simply right click - speed and duration - change to 100% if you want it at the fastest speed.

To export a video:

Always render in H264 (unless told otherwise)

Can export just the video or only the audio.

Target Bitrate is how much quality you want, the higher it is the longer it takes to render out.

I am very proud with how the results turned out. After the help of Koray I finally created my own logo.

Errors : I saw that I made a slight error with a missing part in the circle. To avoid this for next time I will not overly crop my logo.

Initially I wanted to include the logo into my catwalk video, but that requires more work which I do not have the energy for right now.

# data[].attributes.body
I came up with this chosen logo because it matches the words 'Visual Creates'. The triangle shape represents the 'V' and the half oval shape represents the 'C'

Using premier to explore different effects, Joe helped me on this area and gave me the idea to reverse play the track and video to lengthen it and to give a fun outcome to it. I decided to go with, because it brings the video together.

Although I did play around with the effects myself but found it hard to find something I liked. I also decided to keep the video with the original edits as time was running out and I was afraid I would mess up the end result.

To improve I should explore with premier effects more often to ensure full confidence when using the programme.

# data[].attributes.body
Unfortunately I did not realise I would need a pattern instead of single designs as they would not be big enough for the dress template.

I also realised I did not use a bigger size of material which felt like a waste. However I decided to keep these parts as evidence.

Here Koray helped me to bring my logo designs to life, I had an idea to make it glow because I really like how it stands out and felt its relates to me more. Originally I thought about displaying my visual creates video in the lettering of my logo but I found that to be more complex and did not fit my liking.

I have a sewing machine at home and I would like to create mini doll dresses. I also want to remember how to use a sewing machine so I don’t forget again as I used to know the basics of sewing but I wasn’t that good. So by refreshing my memory I will have another skill for life and once I develop my sewing skills further I hope to sell them online.

I glued small plastic diamonds on to the runway stage to give a runway vibe. This was slightly challenging as I had to mark up and measure the distance from each diamonds.

I felt frustrated as there was so much to do in such little time. I had to take regular breaks to focus properly.

At times I was so into the process that i did not want to stop because I was excited to see the outcome.

# data[].attributes.body
I used a glue gun to sew on the Velcro.

# data[].attributes.body
Using the sewing machine was a great task for me as I struggled for the first few times because I have not used a sewing machine in a long time.

This task refreshed my memory and I learned a great skill.

My sewing techniques were not great in the first attempt. To hide the stitches on the dress I sewed on lace trim later on.

Unfortunately I did not end up using the pink background in the photoshoot due to running out of time. I think If I had planned things out better, I could have included it. I feel annoyed because a lot of work went into it and now it feels like a waste.

Jo gave me the idea to create a mini bag myself, doing this I used a glue gun to hold the bag together. I did not have the materials or time to sew a bag from scratch, so I improvised and used the quickest tool available. It felt good to get things done in such a short time because at this point I was getting closer to my deadline. So i did feel I had accomplished something even though it was not a huge deal .

# data[].attributes.body
I used this bag as a template to make my own mini bag.

# data[].attributes.body
Here I wanted a glamorous background, Jo helped me fix the glittery material on to the stand.

# data[].attributes.body
I pinned down the material onto my template.

I struggled with this part because the material was not ironed therefore it was hard to stitch down accurately.

I felt frustrated during this task because I could not get it right the first few times, although after a few attempts I managed to do it, this gave me great satisfaction

After speaking to Lee about my catwal stage, he kindly made me the stage from scratch which was visually impressive, I just needed to paint it- I was worried it would get ruined as I am not a good painter, I ended up using a roller brush because it gave a smoother result.

# data[].attributes.body
At this stage I felt confident with my patterns, however I did not realised the dimensions were wrong and ended up being too big for the heat presser. I had to cut the material and then line it up again with the heated material in order to match up the pattern. The heat presser is 50 x 50 cm I ended up using A2 size of material. For next time I would need to reduce my pattern size, and because the heat presser is not big enough for a large amount of material, this would not be ideal if I were to use it for a life size dress.

# data[].attributes.body
I did not realise the size would be bigger than I had expected, this was far too large for the heat press. Therefore I had to cut the images up and line them up together again during in order for an accurate print of the heat presser.

# data[].attributes.body
I used procreate to make my seamless pattern design, I did consider the size that I would need to print it out in, however I mistakenly entered the wrong dimensions. I ended up getting confused due to having problems with understanding dimensions, it takes me a lot of time to visualise and process what I need to do. For next time I will draw out a dimension plan of the sizes that are required so I have a visualisation for what I need to and what outcomes I am expecting.

# data[].attributes.body
I tested to see how the runway would look like before I actually got to film it. I realised I didn’t have a clue about how to film the catwalk or where to place the lights, luckily I had help from Luke and Joe who knew what they were doing and were incredibly helpful. I didn’t realise how long it would take especially since the dolls kept falling every 5 minutes. Even though it did take a long  time to film the video turned out to be better than what I had expected. The only thing I wish I did better was planning the shots,  lighting and communicating well in order to get the end result. I also wish I had the lights to change  colour in the actual video

# data[].attributes.body
I am relieved to have finally completed my video this was a challenging task trying to get a perfect outcome. I realised the boxes are not all the same size and dimensions is something I need to work on in the future to ensure an accurate size.

# data[].attributes.body
This is what I achieved with the help from Luke and Joe. It turned out to be pretty good after all the hassle it took.

The errors that occured:
At some point during the video you see my hands interfering due to the doll that fell and not realising I had accidentally moved the stage whilst doing so.

# data[].attributes.body
As we started, I did not realise how long it would take to set up lights, the backdrop, props, camera settings and much more. It takes a lot work and patience, which is another reason as to why I should have been more organised and realistic in this situation.

Errors that occured:

The doll stand was not 100% balanced and the doll itself was not flexible which ended up tumbling over unnecessary amount of times. I thought about giving up because of the time consumption but I just carried on as fast as I could.

The accessories were not permanently attached to the dolls hand. I made a mistake by tying the dolls hand to the bag with only a string, which failed miserably as it was not secure.  I felt very frustrated and stressed and even more for Luke as he was waiting extremely patient for me to fix the scene.

Eventually I used a glue gun to stick the bag on the dolls hand.

I did not consider how hot it would get in the studio, this was a downfall because I could not concentrate properly with all the radiation and heat passing through the room.

Reflecting over this, I would not try this again as I did not enjoy the process at all because requires great patience and it gets extremely pressuring trying to perfect it.

# data[].attributes.body
When doing the shoot, I was completely unprepared, I did not consider the possibilities of something going wrong, I did not calculate how long the procedure of setting up would take and did not have a clue overall. Luckily I had Luke to support me in this task, he stayed over time to help me complete the video, which I was extremely grateful for him to do so. In the future I will give more time to a complex task such as this, because a lot of things can go wrong in a short amount of time.

# data[].attributes.body
In this task I really enjoyed because I was given the freedom to choose how I want to display the doll in any way I wanted. I used pre-stick diamonds onto her neck for a glamorous touch.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought a plait gave an elegant feel to her look. I was satisfied with the results and It looked better than what I had imagined.

# data[].attributes.body
Here I thought about adding diamonds to her face for a stylish effect as well as the ribbon in her hair. originally I planned to have her hair down but was advised to style it up by back combing the hair. At first I struggled to keep her hair up in place but I used my hairdressing skills to transform the hair. I was really proud of how well it stayed in place the next day. I was worried I would need to start again if the hair fell out of place whilst in my bag so I wrapped the dolls in a protective layer.

# data[].attributes.body
I was unsuccessful at the first attempt of styling the dolls hair, I made the mistake of using too much hairspray and little backcombing. I ended up spraying the doll with glitter because I thought it would look appealing however the doll ended up being sticky and smelly. I washed the doll and the hair to start again.
