locations in london- Sharmin










The location was used for our extra filming because as mentioned before the yellowish tint in some of the footage could not have salvaged so there was a re-shoot. We chose to film in South Bank because the area is iconic and represents London which is something we wanted to show in the video because it linked well with the concept of "world." Also it would help the target audience engage with the video because of the usage of the famous landmarks.

Digipak update - Sharmin
The draft shows what the front cover will look like however the background will be used throughout the digipak in order to have a continuous theme. It is important to have a continuous theme because it attracts the target audience and encourages them to consume the product.
A problem occurred which delayed the process of the digipak. Other schoolwork had earlier deadlines meaning that I had to prioritise the schoolwork before continuing with the digipak. I also could not access the software InDesign used to create the digipak as I was producing the digipak outside of school therefore the process of producing a completed version of the digipak is delayed.

Editing Footage 2- Debo
Our extra shoot at Crystal Palace proved to be extremely helpful when editing our footage. We have also solved one of the problems which we encountered when editing previously with the yellow tint which comes up in some of our footage. By editing the hue of the image and enhancing the colour of the video in Final Cut express we can eliminate the majority of the yellow tint improving the look of the footage. This allows us to have more to edit in the music video.

Website Construction- Debo
We started our website construction using the cloud-based web development platform Wix this is a relatively new experience for us all who have no past experience with website design. We have desinged merchandise and inputed various images of 1 Nation which are constructed to have a lasting impact to increase the brand of our band. Additionally we plan to implement the use of social media to allow the band to connect with the fasn and we hope this along with images will heighten their Pop Star effect. A problem that we have encountered with the website design is that Wix is not compatible with all school computers only running on computers in the media classroom. To overcome this problem we will have a rota of each person that will work in the Media room during their free period to ensure the website is completed before the deadline.

Extra Shoot- Debo



(update) 10th march- Sharmin
This was a shooting day which required us to be outside in the park as the setting was tranquil and there was a lot of space. The space was needed as the boy band needed to dance in different locations. We have chosen to add a dancing element in the video because from Frith's theory, there are three main typologies used in music videos and from my research I have learnt that a performance element would be essential to use in order to attract and engage the target audience.After looking back at the editing and the footage that we collected we noticed that there was a lot of lip-syncing involved therefore we chose to have the boy band dance without lip-syncing as this will add to the idea of enjoyment and creative -"ruled the world." Having elements in the park also link to the idea of enjoyment as they have the freedom to dance in an open space

Update on filming
We are filming the performance element of the music video because many pop bought band videos have this element. We have also included a dance routine because this will allow the target audience to engage with the video and members of the band.
Additionally we had our boy band conform with the typical conventions associated with the boy band ensure our target audience felt at ease with this new boy band.

Editing Collected footage 1- Debo
After our series of planned shoots we have uploaded the collection of them onto our editing software, Final Cut Express to begin shifting through our footage and checking to see whether or not we need to plan any extra shoots in case we have insufficient footage to create the music video that will appeal to our target audience.
One issue we encountered when looking over our footage is that with one section of the footage gathered comes up in a yellowish tint which does not fit with the rest of the footage gathered. We are currently trying to salvage this footage and if that fails plan to perform a reshoot in a better environment.
