Pitch Section 1A of Exam-Planning

13) How do you plan to use digital technology in the production of your three products?

Digital technology plays a large part in the production of my three products.
Firstly, the video camera not only will film the music video itself but it will be used to document feedback from both people who are watching it and for the group to reflect on how each filming day went and what part we all played in the production of it.

The digipack will be made using software Quark Express on the mac computers and for editing the images before importing them Photoshop software will be used.

The advert will be made using similar software to the digipack.

14)How have you used conventions from real media text in your planning?

We have used conventions from real media text in planning by getting ideas on how to and how not to execute certain shots.

We found a video after planning our locations and storyboard that was a remake of the song that we chose KT Tunstall "Suddenly I See". It was made in America and they chose to use a lot of zooming and it was done awfully in retrospect. The lip synching was not great either and the work was out of focus a lot and when it came back into focus the shot was almost over.

We came up with the idea of a certain edit that we would like to use which makes the shot like a book so it flips. We were aiming to use this when we do a montage of faces for "her face is a map of the world".




15) What have you learned about research and planning a production, compared to AS?

The research and planning for this A2 production is a lot more in depth for that of the AS year.
The AS year's production was a title sequence for a thriller. Therefore, the research consisted of mainly looking at other thrillers and their title sequence. The shot count for this product was around 50-100.
This year we have had to look at dismemberment in videos and narrative structures so that our video matches our song choice. As well as this we have to plan a lot more shots and locations in case some ideas fall through. The shot count for this production is around 200 or more because the shots are generally cut to the beat and as we have to cover 2 mins and 30 seconds we have to fill a lot more time.We also have to plan the edits that we may use for each shot depending on the genre.
