My promotional video is going to be promoting a freelance artist known as Naerie. She does commissions with a wide range of creations that she makes with her limited technology.
In the promo clip I wish to show:
1. Her progression over the course of 5 years, give or take, though pictures that she has drawn.
2. Why she is determined to continue her artistic work, why she loves it, and how it's difficult.
3. How she can be contacted commission wise, for the promotional side of things.

My message is of hope and never giving up on your dreams, hobbies, and interests. I am still working on the length of the video but this is what I wish to show.

Week 1
The first week of planning didn't really go well to be honest. I've still go no idea as to what I want to do for my video. I've got some ideas but nothing solid. I either want to show off my cat, making him majestic and convince people to own a cat because they are great, or promote my girlfriends art work. As to how I promote her I dont really know too well. There are a lot of aspects towards promoting her art and trying to focus on one particular thing will be difficult.
Week 2
I've now started on my mind map. I chose to do my girlfriends artwork due to convenience, however, expanding on the aspects is really hard to do... I'll have to talk to her about some of the things she does to get a better understanding of all the aspects.
Week 3
So I learnt about HTML. I've done coding before but I havent done HTML before and found it really interesting. I honestly cant wait until I get to use it properly for my assignment/promo video. I'm still a little unsure as to how I want to  show case my video or how Im going to make it when the time comes, I really lack the material to record  but I do have the software to edit.
Ive also been struggling with my annotated bibliography. Ive really got no ideas on what I should be looking at the is academic... when it comes to  artists and what they do and how they do it, most of what they do isnt credible at all. Its hard to find someone what has a diploma of art and digital design that makes things that I could possibly use in regards to how they promote themselves. Ive foound some stuff on the psychology of colors and color theory but Im stuck at that... I hope I can think of something before the dead line.
Week 4
We've hit week four, this part of the assignment is due soon and I have to write a paragraph on what I'm going to do for this assignments promo video, The biggest issue is that I still don't know exactly how I want to show in my promo... I've got ideas but nothing stable enough to make me feel like it's the right call or decision. I'm already struggling with trying to get these academic sources done because it is REALLY hard to find academic anything when it comes to artists and I'm worried about it. Considering handing in my assignment with what I've found, asking about it, then resubmitting the assignment.

Source 1: color theory
Morton, J.L., Basic color theory, Color Matters, Viewed 11 of July 2018.<https://www.colormatters.com/color-and-design/basic-color-theory>

J.L. Morton's talks about the basic color theory starting with a brief overview of what color theory is then moving onto the concept of 'the color wheel'. He explains primary, secondary and tertiary colors with both imagery and text description. He also talks about the importance of color harmony in which he explains that color can clash and need to work in harmony with eachother, this information helps me in deciding on colors that I can and can't use with my promotional video. I do not have a strong artistic or persuasive creativity in me so reading the basics has opened new ideas to me. As to whether he backs his points up he does reference Sir Issac Newton, 1666.
As someone that doesn't know too much about color schemes nor really cares about fashion I would recommend this website to gain a basic understanding of how color theory works and all the aspects revolved around it.

Source 2: Psychology of color.
Ciotti, G 2014, 'Color Psychology: How Colors Influence the Mind', blog post, 20 August, viewed 13 of July 2018

<https://www.psychologytoday.com/au/blog/habits-not-hacks/201408/color-psychology-how-colors-influence-the-mind>
Gregory Ciotti's article starts with addressing misconceptions about the psychology of color and how it spikes conversation but has no scientific evidence in the background to support any theory. He mentions how each person corresponds particular colors with memories or emotions, color branding. There is also reference towards gender color preferences. He explains preferred colors of men and women colors and disliked colors for man and women.
This information is relevant to me due to how I am promoting an artist. They have created a large variate of art work over their years and if I am to appeal to one's attention through color and by catching the audience's eye.
Although this blog post is old, I would recommend it to someone that is interested in the human mind and how color influences actions. However, the references are blanked out and I can not link the research towards anything, this effects the liability of the text.
source 3: How to make a promo Video
Ruffell, C. 2012, '5 Steps: How to make a promotional video, step-by-step guide', Reel Marketer, Viewed 24th of July 2018, <https://www.reelmarketer.com/how-to-make-a-promotional-video/>
Christopher Ruffell shows how to make a promotional video with only 5 steps. He clearly shows a summary and later expands on the information provided in great detail. The 5 steps are: Strategic planning, Pre-production, Production, Post-production, and Distribution and Marketing.
Personally, I like the way the information is set out. I found the material easier to read and follow due to the brief example and expanded example. It gave me the mentality that I know what is going to be covered without having to dig deeply for the information that I desired. With this source, I now have a better understanding of how I should approach my promotional video and how I should go about planning it.
I would honestly recommend this source due to its easier ability to communicate with it's reads and has it's viewers in mind. However, it is a long read if you want to get in-depth with the information, if not, then a simple read to help one get on their way.
Source 4: How to make quality content
Jefferson, S. and Tanton, S. 2015, Valuable content marketing: How to make quality content your key to success, 2nd addition 2015, Kogan Page Limited, United Kingdom,  <https://books.google.com.au/books?hl=en&lr=&id=bzISCgAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PR7&dq=How+to+make+a+Promotional+video%3F&ots=ambjAuwFb2&sig=MEzyoUw1sBMxI_1cY7BBLw_Nt64#v=onepage&q=How%20to%20make%20a%20Promotional%20video%3F&f=false>
Honestly don't think I can summaries this source... It is REALLY long. The index shows a lot of what is going to be covered but hard to compress. Sonja Jefferson and Sharon Tanton tells us why we should look into valuable content, What is valuable content, and How to supercharge your business with valuable content. Honestly has really good content but a heck ton of it. In truth I haven't finished reading this source but with what I know about it it helps me focus on something valuable for the promotional video rather then showing everything I've got.
Would I recommend it? Depends. This source is massive! If someone was keen on learning about business and marketing then yes I would recommend it. This source has a lot of credible and reliable information if one is willing to read all through it. If they are not so keen and are looking for something more simple then no. I would not recommend this source towards someone that doesn't have a massive interest in business or marketing.
Source 5: How to shoot a professional video
Hiner, J. 2017, How to shoot professional video on an iPhone: 3 tips, Tech Republic, Viewed 23rd of July 2018. <https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-shoot-professional-video-on-an-iphone-3-tips/>
Jason Hiner expresses 3 simple points about recording any form of recording, audio and visual. With simple tools like your iPhone one can make professional videos with no problems and he shows it in 2 ways. 1. the written form, and 2. a video expressing the same 3 points. Easy to read, follow, and provides me with more recording options, which really helps me due to not having a recording studio or booth.
I would recommend this source to anyone interested in photography or recording with a low budget because Hiner states that you don't need $300 equipment to get good quality results.

Who is the target audience and why?
If I was to make my target audience a number it would have to be 10-25 year olds. The reason for this is because teenagers like to doodle in their books and some of those doodles become art then lead onto passion. Some people start later then others and just want to learn, thus why my age range is 15 years. Also considering that Naerie is 18 years old and has struggled to push her art work since age 12, it would be easier for her to connect due to being a young artist and struggling.

What has mind mapping showed you about your product?
Honestly, it was rather difficult starting my mind map. Compared to coming up with random ideas from the promotion video, expanding on one idea to it's fullest was hard. I found myself getting stuck from time to time but over the course of a week I was able to bridge the gap and fill in some blanks. Making a mind map gave me the opportunity to really dig deeply into a singular idea.
Was it difficult to explore your product so deeply?
Yes. I thought that making a mind map wound be easy to be honest but it turned out to be a challenge but defiantly allowed me to properly think about what I was getting into.
did you come up with any new ideas that will help you think differently about planning your promotional video?
Originally, I was going to do my promotion video on my girlfriends art work, Naerie, but after thinking about how I might address showing her art the thought came to me. Instead of just showing her art, I want to show how she became the artist she is today and the struggles of being an artist with limited funds, equipment, and time. I feel like simply promoting her art isnt going to be enough to make a great promotion of "Come look at her art and order a commission". If the message of the promotion is closer to not giving up on your dreams, practice your art style and it will become something beautiful, and please support me and my art. I think that would make a great promotion of her art.

My initial thoughts and feelings:
To be honest, I am a little overwhelmed about assignment 2. Recording using cameras isn't something I normally do I record off of screen capture materials over recording devices.
However, when it comes to ideas, I'm kind of blank when it comes to choosing what I want to do and promote something, guess I'll think of something eventually.
