Production diary

 

18/01/22

 Today I aim to start the production of the Canon campaign. There are two images that I need and I aim to do as many takes as possible to make sure I get the exact shots that I want. I will need to acquire a camera and tripod from college and go along to the studio where I will be using the lights that are already in there and a mirror which is also stored in the there as a prop. I need to be sure I have enough time to set up the light and make sure the mirror is in place. I also need to be sure that my model knows what to do and that they are okay with following my directions.

The first shot that I'm aiming to get is one where the model can be seen in the mirror reaching out in a dramatic manor. The second image is the model facing away from the mirror looking happy. My aim here is to represent the journey of self discovery.

I feel as though I accomplished my goal of taking all the pictures that I need and also had no issue acquiring the needed equipment such as the camera and tripod. The photoshoot took up the majority off the lesson and so I will not have time to go over the images and decided on which ones to use in my final product.

Today I will be looking over the pictures I took last week and deciding which ones I feel are suitable to use for my final product and then will hopefully begin the post-production process. The only equipment I will need for this is the computer in the classroom and my SD card that I keep with me at all times.

After taking a look at the photos I realised that the light I used can be seen in the background and cannot be cut out as that would cut out integral parts of the image due to the placement. My tutor advised that I retake all of the photos and so I will get a camera and tripod from the office and retake the photos.


I went back to the studio with my model and we reshot all the pictures, doing multiple takes, to make sure it was to a higher standard then what I had previously done. I was sure to move the light and make sure there was nothing in the shot that wasn't supposed to be. 

After this I returned the camera and proceeded to go through the photos I had taken and decided which ones were the best to use in my final poster. This time the photos were much better and there was nothing there that wasn't supposed to be.

Pitch feedback

  I sent out a survey to the people I showed my pitch to so they could give me feedback and explain what I did well and anything I could improve on to make my final product the best it could be. Here I asked what they thought of the layout of my pitch and they both responded positively specifically pointing out the colour scheme. Next I asked if the way I presented my ideas was enjoyable and they both said yes. I asked what I could've doe to improve my pitch. They both said I should've shown more of the research I had done. The second person saying that I could've explained the USP in a different way although they did not elaborate on how I could do that. I asked what I did well and both participants seemed to think I explained my idea for the final product well and the second person though I explained my reasoning for them well too.  Lastly, I asked for any after thoughts and one participant responded saying I could've spoken more about colour choices.

 18/01/22 Today we began filming our podcast. We went into the studio and set up the equipment which included logging into the apple mac in the studio and opening logic pro to record the audio on. In terms of microphones we used a RODE NR1A which is a microphone that a lot of people tend to use for podcasts. The guests and I had a conversation beforehand to make sure we knew what we were going to talk about and the order in which we were going to talk about each topic. It was very loosely scripted in the way that the intro and outro were written up but the rest was more or less unscripted, we had a list of things to talk about but we didn't have specific things within the topic written down since we wanted to create a natural conversation as we felt that would be more entertaining. We did a few takes to make sure the microphones were set to the right level and weren't peaking and to make sure the audio was adequate.  The issues that occurred during the recording is that a musi...
