Week 1

zaakzp — 2019-03-27 01:41:39 UTC

This week im beginning brainstorming 80 ideas that i could possibly include in my promotional video. So far im leaning towards filming my promotional video at Basem3nt, a media company. This promotional video will include a generally positive vibe showing of happy customers and workers.

zaakzp — 2019-04-03 01:23:49 UTC

Week 3

zaakzp — 2019-04-08 01:17:51 UTC

For this week i learned how to create and edit a html site while also integrating this padlet document with it. At first I struggled slightly with this task but eventually got the hang of it.

Week 2

zaakzp — 2019-04-08 01:19:22 UTC

This week I further honed in of the idea of making a promotional video for basem3nt. I continued brainstorming ideas and thought about the pros and cons of filming there. I also contacted the business to gain permission to film there.

Week 4

zaakzp — 2019-04-08 01:22:06 UTC

For this week I created a brainstorming sheet to further get an understanding behind the process I will have to undertake while adding new creative ideas to the video. I also created a treatment, a plan to how I will film the promotional video and in what order.

Week 5

zaakzp — 2019-04-08 01:24:49 UTC

This week I focused on creating colour palettes in photoshop and adobe colour. This helps with nailing down the aesthetic of not only the promotional video but eventually the website as well.
