Today I opened up all of the survey results in a spreadsheet and went through and analyzed the results. It took me quite a while as I had over 170 responses and therefore needed to make sure the results that I talked about were representative of all of the results. I used the premade Google Forms graphs for the quantitative answers and listed the main points from the qualitative questions. Now I need to analyze three clips from Edgar Wright movies to talk about in my video essay.
Inform our own idea...
The people who watch all of these shows I have looked at are all different age groups. Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway is one of the shows with the broadest range of people watching, the reason this show is like this because of Ant & Dec and also the show has a big range of content.
The findings suggest that if we go with the Saturday evening, ITV, 7 pm as this is one of the most popular times for viewing TV as a family. At this time people will put the TV on and just watch whatever show is on. For the group, this shows us that we need to make sure that our show doesn't collide with a popular show as everyone would just watch the show. If we did have to show our show at the same time as a popular show we would have to make sure we were appealing to a different target audience.
Based on our idea we now need to research our target audience to find out what they would want from a show, we need to think of ways we can make our show different from others. We need to research what the shows we want to borrow ideas from do and how they are really successful. ​

Today I began downloading the photos which I need for the edit of the project. I used the shot list and found photos which matched that. I also found extra photos as I will need a lot to complement the voiceover. I will record the voiceover in the morning. In the afternoon I will continue to find more clips.

Today I went into the Gallery and recorded the audio for my video essay. I used a Rode microphone attached to a mic stand which meant you wouldn't be able to hear my hands holding the microphone. I then recorded into a zoom. Each time I stumbled I went back to the beginning of the paragraph which means the editing process will be so much easier to sort out.

Today I began by being a model for Chloe who is shooting some images for some newspaper articles. We set up the lighting in a three-point lighting format, one for the back, one fill light and one key light. This gave us good general lighting. I then downloaded some more clips for my video essay.

Today I organized my footage within Premiere Pro, I sorted each type of media within folders. I also then created my timeline, I found out that I can set a custom preset which means each time I set up a new project I will be quickly able to select it. I use ARRI CINEMA, Square Pixels 1.0 and 1920x1080 canvas, When I was talking to the media demonstrator he asked me why I was editing off my hard drive when I have an SSD in my computer, which I was unsure off to, so for this project I am editing off the SSD which will make the whole process quicker.
