My Questionnaire

Today we have begun answering the four questions for our coursework and today we answered the question ''What have you learnt from your audience Feedback". To do this we needed to create an questionnaire which in todays lesson i created and is below. Now all that is left to do is give out questionnaires.
Create your free online surveys with SurveyMonkey, the world's leading questionnaire tool.

Day 2 Filming

I am pleased to say that we have finally finished shooting (Finally!!!!!!!!!!!). We did come a few difficulties whilst filming which as one unit we were able to overcome. WE had an issue with one of our performers being unable to attend as her parents wouldn't let her. Fortunately for us, I had spoken to my cousin some time ago about performing and he happened to be free today so we managed to get him to replace her. Alongside that we had problems with playing the song as the volume of my phone was not loud enough. We managed to resolve this by Having Joe performing with earphones and the Gorillas relying on his performance to interpret what stage of the song they were at which worked really well. We came across a minor problem Where Jimmy did not know his lines. At first this did prove to be difficult but after going through the lines with Jimmy myself and making him feel more confident performing them he managed to get it. Overall Filming was enjoyable and its really relieving to know that we have completed shooting and all seems to be looking good for my team and I.

Blog Update

Today we expected to finish our filming once and for all and at the same time get images which we would use for our Digi-paks. Unfortunately we ran into numerous problems; Jimmy our performer for professor Green was unable to attend as his mum said he needed to clean up his room. Alongside that there was heavy rain therefore we had to make a careful judgment/risk assessment regarding the safety of the camera.After much discussion we decided that it was wise to re-shoot tomorrow however we did manage to get a few photos for our Digi-pak which i now have enough to begin fully now.

Post Production Feedback

Today is our first lesson back we began editing once again. We Spent the lesson trying to get our shots in time with the song but this proved difficult due to the fact that we recorded no sound. We also had a some of the students in our class take a look at our work and give us feedback.

One person said that our shots were too long, which we were aware of however we needed to get all of the shots in sync with the songs before we could cut them down. We were also told to include more shots of Joe but we cannot at this stage as we have not recorded them yet. They also said that there was a long blackout which was left for a shot we still have not recorded it yet. And we were also told that There were random shots in between the video which were just moved temporarily as we were trying to tidy the sequence up.
