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. ​
Production Meeting 3 - 26th September
Diary Entry - 26th September 2017
Today I finished of my primary and secondary evidence write up. I also wrote up my evaluation of my research where I wrote about how I could have made my research different to make it more beneficial for me, also, I wrote about how it has helped me.
Following this, Chloe and I started making the powerpoint for our pitch tomorrow. We also finalised on our scene which we have decided to be a park and made the final decisions about about actors and what the plan of the filming days are. Tomorrow, we need to finish off the powerpoint ready for the pitch.
Music Video Pitch




Recently, my group delivered our pitch to the class where we discussed our ideas for our music video. The pitch wasn't perfect but I think collectively my group did a good job and we were all very happy with how the how pitch went.
Our feedback said that we had a clear understanding of our roles and each person knew what they should be doing to fulfill that role, the fact each person has a passion for the role they have is good because it means we are confident in making sure we work to our full potential. We were then questioned on our narrative and asked to re-explain it to the class giving more detail on what exactly is going to happen. Another question asked was how we would fill the whole length of the video and not make it boring, for this we have decided to make the video fast pace and have a range of shots and camera movements to keep the audience engaged. Speaking with the class has also developed our idea of a red carpet scene which we have now decided we will most likely do.
Following our feedback we need to refine our idea so that our video is engaging to watch, we will do this be going over every aspect of the video to make sure that the whole process of filming it to editing it will go smoothly. We also need to storyboard the video and create a shot list which will give others a better understanding of our idea.
I think my pitching skills were good for my first time doing anything like this. I think I'm good at speaking to groups of people I just need to focus so I can remember to try to say everything in a good amount of detail.

Today we annotated the lyrics of the music video, deciding which scenes we would use and to show our idea would cover the whole scene. We also started the shot list which states where each shot is and all the details. I think I was good at deciding what shots we would need. To improve today's work I could add more detail to all the work.

Today, we finished off the shot list, which shows all the different shots for each scene of the music video. I also created the talent release forms which the actors will sign to agree to be in our video. I also created a call sheet which shows what is happening at all times during the day and gives details of all necessary information.

Today, I finished off all the documents and completed the call sheet which I started yesterday. The call sheet explains what happens where and when, what is needed on the day and where each scene is going to be filmed. I also check all the documents to make sure everything was good with those and uploaded all the documents I have used to this website above. I also had to sign some of the documents including the risk assessment form. To improve today's work I could have added lots more detail, to do this I would need to work faster.
