Production logo

Jump productions is our production name,we brainstormed a few names and finally decided to use this name because we thought it was simple and fitted well with the theme of movement/dance.The shoes were chosen, because they represented our genre (dance).The typography is kind of slick and smooth.It has been neatly done and it looks quite professional.

Media Journal-Week 14

This week Our group found out that Rebbecca(Becky) dropped out of media,therefore only myself and Yasmin and Jasmine will be in the group.On Tuesday jasmine was absent,so we had do things without her.Even though the deadline is very close me and Yasmin had to think and discuss alternatives for our title sequence because the dance scenes were poorly shot.At one point we thought about producing a whole new title sequence,but unfortunately we have limited time on our hands.Another option,a simplifier,this we can use to make the sequence less complicated technically and story wise.

Ms Whittaker previewed the title sequence and also gave positive and constructive feedback for us to work on. She gave me good ideas on how to present the dance scene coherently.I think that editing the sequence with advise from Ms Whittaker has added to my editing skills.I feel like I have learnt more techniques, which will help me in the future.

On Friday, I went to visit another location (YMCA)whereby , youth could fill in for absent actors in our sequence.Unfortunately I was unable to make it due to timing and transport issues.I then decided to go today(Sunday) which was also another problem because when I got there the YMCA centre was closed.On Friday and Saturday I had contacted them with different contacts on a number of occasions but there was no response.I then contacted Yasmin and told her the problems that I was having but ,Yasmin herself was stuck for a solution.Next week I will ask Ms Whittaker for advise and alternatives since myself and Yasmin feel like there is no way out of this situation.

Typography questionnaires

Here are the two questionnaires filled out,in order to find out our target market for Change the beat.There was a range of mixed feedback.This may be due their age,gender,personality, an so on.




As you can this questionnaire was filled in by a 9 year old, therefore her needs are different from an average 16 or 17 year old person.In this questionnaire the participant put the the titles in order of most favourite and least favourite. Title.E. was chosen as the best typography for change the beat,whilst Title.A. was chosen as the most unsuitable.
I think that this person chose this because children like to see patterns,therefore she was more drawn to title.E &D.She mentioned that D&E were very close to each other,proving that title appeals to that market.

From this questionnaire you can see that what this teen prefers ,is what we would offer,which means we know our audience. This person felt that Title.E. was the best title for Change the Beat because she liked the look of the font.

This person also prefers comedies and adventure,which shows they are fun loving and adventurous and like to try out new things.I think that this show that "Change the beat" would suit them just because it has that fun,exciting aspect to it.

Media Journal-Week 13

In media ,this week my group and I focused on editing the sequence.I did most of the editing this week,because most of my group were unwell this week (Yasmin and Becky),therefore myself and Jasmin focused on editing.I added a few effects to make the sequence flow better.

I had problems with the titles and the positioning of them on final cut pro,I then tried different techniques by positioning titles and adding transitions to them. I think that I did quite a lot of editing this week and I feel like I've made a lot a progress on the sequence and on my blog. I also gave out the questionnaires last week and this week.I have received a range of feedback from various people.I also asked a few people what they thought of our titles sequence.Most of the people I asked thought that it was quite good.Some people thought that the main title needed more improvements,so I took that to consideration.

On Friday,we had to screen our sequence in front of our class. I had anticipated this moment because,I realised that our group needed constructive criticism to better improve "Change the beat "title sequence.I was happy that we also received positive feedback;motivating us to work harder on the sequence.The only suggestion I thought was going to bring the group down on was the fact that our teacher thought that re filming was needed.I think that re filming scenes will be another long process,later reducing our time for editing.Overall I think it needs to be done because we need a range of different angles shot especially for,the dance scene.

Media Journal-Week 12

My group and I continued editing Change the Beat title sequence.The editing was done by Becky and myself because Yasmin and Jasmine were absent for a couple of days. When they were present they gave us good feedback,this helped because we had different views on the sequence.

We initially had planned to film with Becky's boyfriend in the park,unfortunately he was ill and this is the last week we can film.Our last hope was Plan B to find someone in our school who could dance to help us with our project.We finally found a year 11 student names Shane,who was kind enough to help us.

The filming process was done after we had filmed the dance scene.we were happy with the outcome and incorporated it into the sequence with the music. Yasmin and myself edited the production logo and the positioning of the scenes.We all gave feedback,some, more than others.Yasmin also thought the music needed to be altered,so we both thought the should be a build up towards from the beginning to end.I also wasn't particularly sure about the Main title because I felt it looked a bit amateur,but the group seemed to disagree,so it was left the way it was.I also felt that we did get a good amount of angles on the dance scene;due to lack of time it had to be left alone. Also next week Tuesday will be screening day,were everybody in our media class watches the title sequence and gives feedback on it.
