Digipak progress..

Here's where I am so far with the digipak for S.Dot.
I've been looking at digipaks that I own and past student's digipak's for inspiration as there are a lot of details that are often forgotten in past student's digipak's or just not accurate.

For example mentioning the executive producers on the album is something that must be done as well as the copyright statement.
I'm really trying to make my digipak as accurate as possible.

Current website progress..

I started working on a different theme and I'm liking it a lot more as it relates more to the black and white theme of album and is up to date.
It's a mix between a website like Wretch 32's who's got 7 pages and WSTRN who crams all there information onto one page.

Skepta and WSTRN have the same set out to their websites which is that as soon as you click onto it you see their recent music video.
I think it's a great way to promote the video and increase it's views.
If I had access to our video I think that's exactly how S.Dot would layout his website. (More like WSTRN due to the lack of information or anything else on Skepta's page.)

Also on the website I'm creating there are always noticeable links to the artist's social media as it's his main connection to his audience. Much like artist JME who to keep's a good profile for himself by replying to all the mentions from his fan on Twitter.

49 - Ancillary Text 2: Website

Website Name : Onedirectionmusic
Url: Www.onedirectionmusic.com
Genre: Teen Pop

Links and Icons take us :
Music - All the different albums
Band - The band members
Tour - All past and future tours
Journal - Various links to different interviews of individual members
Shop/Merch - All things which can be purchased by customers/audience

Above as  you can see , is the website navigation bar. The black background and white text is used through out the website , this is what i would like our website navigation bar to look like as they we have the same idea of black and white theme.

The language used in the website is not formal or informal , it is in the middle as the genre is ''Teen Pop'' the language must be suitable for teenagers. They speak to the audience through the merchandises on sale , social media and especially the interviews.

Above is the two ways in which they get across with the audience , interviews is the best way as they get direct communication.

The website is full of images with the ratio of image to text (7:3) , there are many images of the band members all over the website and items on sale. These images are mostly close ups or midshots , with rare longshots. Each character has their own type of dress style which means they can appeal to a larger audience

The Image above is the latest album cover which is an image of the band members.

Website progress..

I've been using Wix.com to create the website and it's been great makes the website look much more professional. It's simple to use and is coming together really well.

Looking more like a UK rap artist's website each time I work on it.

Costumes for Ancillary..

Ancillary images..

These are a few of the images that I'll consider using in my ancillary products. Both artists will appear on my digipaks but obviously I'll use pictures of S.Dot on his own. We've taken a good selection of pictures so that we have more than enough to appear on our websites and digipaks.

Planning the designs for the ancillary products..

Digipak progress

Website progress 1

This is my website so far.

I have added the tabs, social media icons and picture of the artist on the homepage however there is a lot more for me to do in order to make the website look as realistic as possible.

What I need to do to improve based on audience feedback:

• Add a few more social media links such as iTunes and google play (in case the audience does not have access to iTunes)
• Remove the header and logo that is not relevant to S.Dot
• Edit the strip background image because there is tape visible on the wall behind the artist.
• Add information onto each tab.

Wesbite Mock up..

This is the website I've been working on so far but I've planned to switch over to a different website creator, Wix. Due to the fact that it's been recommended to me by the rest of my group.
With the new images we have, inspiration from other websites and planning, the website I create should come out a lot better

Here's the drawn image I first created>>

56.) Mock up - Digipak

55.) Digital Mock up - Website

In the summer i made this website for an artist called Bryson Tiller. For S.Dot I want to make a website that is very similar to this one because it consists of the colours Black and White and it gets straight to the point with a large picture of the artist.

54.)

53.) ancillary pics (unedited)

Digipak Mock up..

Here's what I'm basing my digipak on but I'm still indecisive on whether to add artist 'J' onto the cover as most artist's like ours would appear on their digipaks alone even if there's a lot of features. 

My idea is to place her on the inside of the digipak.  

I'll  be using photoshop to create the digipak.

Ancillary Product Analysis..

JME - Integrity>


This artist relates to our audience and genre. Our original artist, T Mulla and this artist JME are linked through UK rap. JME is a bigger artist but the artist's are similar song wise.
Audience wise they reach to the same age group and to the same area; both artists relate themselves to London and to the age range of 16 and 22.

Stormzy - Wicked skengman 4


This artist also has the same audience and genre as JME, T Mulla and S. Dot.
Both artists have the style of our artist S.Dot. Which is why I want to create a similar digipak to theirs.

I believe our audience will relate to a simple digipak with a close up of our artist, more than one full bright colours and props.

Summary of today's lesson..

48 - Digipak and Website analysis

For the first half of my analysis of Digipaks and websites, I looked at the Digipaks and Websites for artists and albums within the same Genre as our Artist, S.DOT. Although this genre is limited when it comes to Digipaks and Websites, as UK Rappers don't often create these complex promotional plans, I managed to find one UK Rapper who closely followed all the codes and conventions of the typical pop album Digipak.

(P.S. Loud music may begin to play with the prezi!)







Similar themes and colour schemes can be noticed on Wretch 32's website, although BLACK AND WHITE is not his most recent album or project. This means that to allow the target audience to be able to link products by Wretch 32, they all have similar, instantly identifiable theme.

URL : WRETCH32.COM

As with the BLANK AND WHITE digipak, the most prominent colours on the website are black and white.

The links and icons on the page take the audience to HOME; NEWS; MUSIC; STORE; TWITTER; GIGS and VIDEOS pages. As the website is all one page, the links navigate the audience to different locations within the home page. All the other icons are external links and direct the audience to other artist related pages such as the social media sites and record label websites. 

A variety of close ups and mid close ups can be seen on the website and it is clear that the audiences eye is meant to be drawn to the artist. The Wretch 32 logo can be seen throughout the site and all other text is white against the black background, and is in the same font as the text on the insie panls of the digipak. There is not an overbearing amount of text on the page, and text is mainly used to caption videos, songs and links to social networking sites. 

How does the website speak to its audience?

The website encourages the audience to get to know the artist more by visiting their social networking sites. Very little about the artist is given away through the website and therefore it is down to the audience to interpret the sincere but also urban feel of the website 

How is costume and other elements of mise on scene presented?

Costume and other elements of mise on scene are not really presented in this website. If the focus is not the artists face, it is the music and videos and vice versa. A real emphasis has been put on the Music videos and downloadable music that is available on the site as opposed to using the way the site looks to tell the story. 

48. Ancillary text 1 - Album Cover

As you can see , above is Wretch 32 album cover for his 'Black & White' album. The central image of his album cover is a side mid shot which clearly already , the audience know who the artist in the album is , furthermore , there are also no other images apart from an image of him which further allows the audience to identify the main artist. In his album , the text is black and white with the artists name in block capitals 'WRETCH 32' . The image and text ratio is around 8:2 as the first thing we see is an image of the artist.

As you can see above in the artists webpage , the theme of black and white is also running through here as the text is also white and the background is black. Further more the 'WRETCH 32' is the same text font and cover as the album cover. In addition , most images here are close ups and mid shots which are similar to his album cover.

Again , we see here that the theme of black and white is still running in the video. This is a mid-shot , like we see in his album cover.

Similarly , this is our artist. As you can see our cover is fairly similar with the synergetic theme of black and white and a mid-shot of the artist. As both artist covers are associated with the colour black , this is because they share the same genre of grime/rap which is mostly associated with the colour black.

47.) The function of digipaks to the music

47. Importance of a digipack

Digipaks are one of the most important promotional and physical tools which can be purchased m the audience.

Album - The album is a physical promotional tool which can be purchased by the audience. Albums are also used to show people who the main artist is , this can be seen through close ups of the main artist.

Websites- Websites are used as a detailed version of the artists album. This is because they cover some of the same things. The website has important information for fans such as clothing , track lists and tour dates. This is a key way to interact through the target audience as it allows them to interact freely with their added social media accounts.

For example , above is krept and konans album cover , in which u see close ups or mid close ups of the artists which enables the audience to establish who the artist is.

3/12/15 - EDITING

Our teacher suggested that we should cut the song because of our worry about the lack of shots that we had. We ended up cutting the song to 3:15 which we thought was a decent point to cut the song and we felt as though it'd work well with a fade on the song and the final shot.

What we have yet to do:

• fading out the song
• adding text to green screen
• adding establishing shots
• fixing the grain on the green screen shots 

Text - EDITING

We are going to add S.Dot's name onto the background of the green screen base tracks as the background just being white looks very plain. We also want to add the song lyrics onto the background. I would like the text of the lyrics to be in a handwritten font because it will look like the artists are writing out the lyrics to one another.

Reflection on planned studio shots - Fester Skank

Font - 2/12/15

Today we've been searching for a font that will fit in with the theme of our song and the feel of our video. We've been looking at Krept and Konan's video "Don't waste my time", Tion Wayne's "Bae" video and others. Trying to see which font suits our artist the most. 

We wanted to use this exact font for our music video, however we couldn't find it so instead I have chosen a font that is very similar to it from the Mac FontBook.

I like this font because it still has an urban feel to it due to the fonts looking as though it is handwriting. This matches the genre and target audience because it is informal.

We've also been looking at other fonts using DaFont:

FILMING

• Studio shots - green screen
• base tracks of S.Dot

Today we filmed S.Dot's base track  performance shots in front of the green screen at different angles in order to add variation to the final product.

Wide shots pic.twitter.com/LW6kEZ3JiH
— S.Dot (@Sam_Dot1) December 2, 2015

We did not end up filming any base tracks of J because the original shots that had been taken previously  had been used in the edit so to save time and to not disrupt the editing process they were kept. I thought that this would be a problem because there were only two locations where the two artists performed together and I hoped that we could get some more.

Whist filming the base tracks in the studio there was a technical fault with the speakers that were connected to the computer so we had to use a mobile phone in order to play the music.

EDITING

Monique was the main person editing the music video. She changed the green screen shots into white background shots to make it look like the two artists were performing in a studio. She also added and cut more shots to fill up the gaps.

Reflection on Editing - Week Beginning 1/12/15

In all my spare time during this week I have been editing. Due to spending so much time trying to get as much footage as possible, we had less time to edit and this had a significant effect on our work. This week my aims were to get enough decent base tracks onto the timeline so I could edit between them. By Thursday all base tracks were down and then the process of adding special effects and making stylised choices, such as when a close up should be used, had begun. As using a dynamic link to edit green screens would be the most time consuming part of the editing stage, I dedicated a whole day to doing this.

Editing 2nd December

Editing today , the final 3hour lesson before the deadline.  

2nd December Lesson (Samuel)

By the end of the week , we plan to , in fact we have to finish editing our music video.  However before then , we plan to film at Millennium bridge  again if we believe we have that sort of time to do so. We also have a lot of editing to do which includes editing the green screen into a white background. Further more , the white background needs to be filtered as it is too bright , so we need to filter it as much as we can , but not as much as we can see grains on the video. We need to include more editing techniques such as  slow motion , transitions between base tracks and colour balances . We also need to show how the characters are introduced in the music video , precisely using text and a font which suits our music video genre.

30th November

As you can see , we are still editing our music video. However , time is not on our side as according to feedback from colleagues and teachers , we have to re film one of our best locations due to poor lighting. Further more , we have to edit the green screens and switch it with white which means it takes more time to edit. 

What we need to do:

-Think about how we want to open the video (Fade in)

-Think of what text we want to use to introduce the artists

-Included close ups of the rings and glasses for our incorporated synergy

-Edit or change the shake shots at the start of the train going by

-Get establishing shots of London

-Need more shot angles in the green room

-State all the base tracks

-Re film the base track at the millennium bridge as it is too dark

-Have establishing shots of the buildings in millennium bridge to cut between (using DSLR , to get a pretty outline)

45 - Evaluation notes 4

- Feedback we received from our colleagues and teachers of the rough cut.

-Talk about how and why this effected our final production

-How important the audience feedback was to us

- How the audience reacted to our final video at the screening ( View feedback posts)

- What i have learned from the audience feedback

-  Record audience responding to our ancillary products.

- he reaction of the audience before and after our video was screened.

-Talk about what you think you could have done better with your product.

45 - Evaluation Question 3 Notes

- The use of blogger and how it helped us keep track and store all our bits and bobs needed to produce the music video.

-The different websites used to blog our information which include prezi and emaze.

-How  the internet was used throughout and the importance of the internet.  For exmple youtube.com was used to get ideas for our music video and twitter was used to connect with our teachers and whatsapp was used to connect with our colleagues.

-Premiere pro was very important as sit was used as the key editing tool in our production of the music video , effects used such as slow motion and fade in and out. As we used a green screen , and wanted to change it to a white background , we had to change it and make sure that there was no gains on the screen

42 - Close analysis of sequence we plan to change based on teacher feedback

After presenting our rough cut to the class, via feedback we decided that a specific sequence within the video would need to be changed. 
As we had intended, our music video would begin with establishing shots of recognisable London monuments and places. Although we had gone out to film them, when we begun the editing process we realised these were not sufficient and also found it confusing that out video would begin with establishing shots filmed at night.
We have now decided that the video will still  begin with slow motion establishing shots, but will be filmed again. The video will begin with a slow motion pan of the London Eye,  then a slow motion pan past the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben and will then end with a shot of a bridge covered in graffiti that we found in Shoreditch.  We feel these shots replicate the mood and feeling that videos from the UK Rap genre present and therefore will try to include them in a way that will effectively allow the audience to feel engaged.

This is an example of images of London being used to establish a location in videos of the same genre. As this video, Wstrn - IN2 remix, is by a group that is prominent in west London, they have included shots of the skyline of a recognisable West London estate.

 

As we want our video to relate to youths all over London, we will emulate this idea by using images of recognisable places in London.

Rough Cut feedback

43.) Changes made to music video based on class feedback of our rough cut

Our rough cut feedback:

• The shots on the millennium bridge were quite dark and you couldn't see the artists faces very well so we were told to try and re-film them.
• To edit our green screen base tracks

This was the only constructive criticism that we received which was quite receiving but also a bit disheartening because it (re-filming) was a large task to do. However as a group we did not have time to re shoot the base tracks so we instead cut and only used parts of the base tracks that were efficiently lit. The majority of our feedback was very positive and our class really liked the rough cut so far and was excited to see the end result.

What the class liked:

• Samuel and I's lip-syncing
• the choice of locations
• the colours
• the song 

My feedback of the rough cut was that we needed to get more establishing shots to set a tone of where the music video is set. I then took it upon myself to go to the millennium bridge and shoot some establishing shots in the evening using my Canon 600D camera.

Once I showed my group the shots that I had taken using my camera they really liked them and attempted to incorporate them into the music video. Unfortunately, once put into Premier the shot frames did not match with all the clips that we already had used when using the college camera. To overcome this, we looked back through all the shots that we already had and used the ones that we thought could work (such as the opening shot of the pan of the London Eye).

25/11/15 Dilemmas

Today we filmed during lunch with the spot lights in the studio but without the DIDO lights. This was an issue for us because the previous shots that we filmed came out brighter with less shadows but this time the shadow of the fig rig could be seen on the performers faces when producing close ups. We are now going to film after college on Monday because of this.

43 - 25/11/15 - Rough Cut Feedback (from target audience

When showing what we've currently edited for our video we received feedback from our class and they told us really beneficial things that will help us further develop our video.

However, we do already know that we need to edit our green screen and collect more/better footage of establishing shots. We were told that we would need to include:

• more shots of the ring (close ups and mid shots where it can be seen) - relates back to the synergy between each product
• more close ups of both artists
• to fade into our footage at the beginning

However, they did give us some good feedback about what the audience enjoyed

• nice slow motion edits
• our artists costumes match, well thought out
• nice fitting locations
• the costume of our artists at Millennium Bridge links with the white studio
• the fillers of our artists in the beginning is really well fitting for our songs theme

We'll be getting more footage at the studio today whilst Monique edits what we already have, just so we can stay on top of things.

41 - 25/11/15 - Rough Cut

We hope you enjoy our rough cut!

Group 11

Updating social media

S.Dot's twitter account has been consistently updated. I let the audience know when we are filming, what we are filming and when we are editing with videos and images to match. I have used emojis in some of the tweets to make the text look authentic and informal in order to suit S.Dot's fans, this is because his fans are teenagers and young adults. Based off of the research that i did on YouGov on Skepta's audience one of the most popular gadgets that S.Dot's target audience has is an iphone, therefore they'd be able to recognise the emoji symbols. It was really important that I used synergy on the Twitter account. As you can see in the 'Link' part within S.Dot's bio has been filled with the link to his song 'Potential' on soundcloud in order to promote his music and the release of his upcoming music video.

Here is a video of the editing process that I uploaded onto S.Dots Twitter account.

Overview of what is going on in the lesson

Here is the recorded answers of what we are doing and plan to do at the end of the lesson.

Here is the recording of Imaani and Monique editing.

We did not have to change any locations planned as they all came out as we hoped. However , we did choose another location on the spot as we thought it would be a good location for our song choice.

At the moment our rough cut is not finished so we still need to finish it off in work shops , we have a few more things to add on to the rough cut before the deadline.

39 - Notes for evaluation 1

Influenced by : Tion Wayne  - Bae.
This is because the genre and the tone of the song was very similar to the one we chose. The idea of the artist singing to/about a female was similar and the settings and locations were also similar. Further more , the camera work and the artists clothing.

As you see above , the clothing of the artists.

We decided to support the conventions of this genre as the artists were able to relate to the genre.

38.) Filming 16/11/15

We filmed at three different locations on Monday which were:

• Gainsborough studios - we managed to stick to the storyboard and got what we wanted. The weather at the point we were filming was really windy which made it hard to get footage that wasn't shaking. But we know that when we begin editing because the footage we got will be cut up you won't be able to pick up any weather related problems. 

         We filmed a few (as we like to call it) non performance 'filler' shots at Gainsborough              Studios to show  S.Dot and J together walking and talking. Shots such as these are              important for us because we want to show the relationship between the two artists as            two young people that have feelings for each other.

• Shoreditch - we decided to get more footage from this location because we felt like we didn't have enough close up shots but thankfully we managed to get a variety of different close up shots. Each one working very well and will be a definite possibility when editing. However we faced a few minor difficulties with lighting at Shoreditch as the natural lighting made S.Dot appear washed out but once we used the portable lighting equipment we were able to fix this issue.

• Millennium Bridge - Filming on the Millennium bridge on a Monday evening was so much better than when we tried to film before on a Saturday evening. There were less people which meant that we were able to shoot our performance base tracks consistently without any major disruptions. Our only problem came with the lighting which didn't come out strong enough hitting only one side of our artists. But we still managed to get shots that were in good lighting and were well received by the camera.

The costume in this location was great as our artists were well contrasted from the natural lighting of our location. They stood out from everything else which made them the main focus of our footage as we wanted. We don't use props in any of our locations aside from what creates our synergy for our artists. And so that would be our rings and S.dot's glasses; we did really well in getting shots of these and focusing on them. 

The shots were very successful and we managed to complete all the necessary base tracks that needed to be filmed in different areas. We're really happy so far with everything we have especially the shots of our synergy objects.

Filming in the studio 

We managed to film a few base tracks in the studio but ran out of time and need more base tracks of the artists together and interacting with one another. We plan to get this done early next week.

37.) Reflection on progress

Previously I had set myself the target of:

• Use a wider range of presentational devices
• Try and stay on top of my blogging
• Catch up on blogs that i've missed due to absence

So far I think that I have fulfilled these targets because almost all of my blogs are in an embedded presentational feature , I have been much more consistent with the uploads of my blogs and i have managed to catch up on the blogs that I had missed.

My new targets are:

• Develop editing skills 
• be more organised with the uploads of my blogs in terms of order

37 - Reflection on progress

I believe at the  moment, i am not working as much as i should be or im not putting as much effort into my blog posts as i should be. However , i do believe i have done better as a reflection from the previous feedback i received as i have acted upon that feedback.
2 Things i need to improve:
The Range of ICT used.
The detail and timing of my blogs.

Studio..

34 - Detailed Risk Assessment

Rain Damaging Equipment – Make sure to check the weather before hand and bring an umbrella to protect the equipment from getting wet.

•Loss of equipment- If certain equipment aren't being used , put them away back in its holders and make sure they are in sight.

•Film In areas in which you are allowed to film in , no danger areas such as filming near building sites as it may be dangerous.

Hot lighting : Set up the lighting before plugging it in as you may burn yourself (as i've previously done) and also wait for it to cool down before packing it away.

Stay as a group in case any incidents happen or people from the group man age to get lost.

Planned filming for long weekend (Imaani)

Wednesday 11/11/15 White studio

During our three hour lesson we plan on  filming at least seven base tracks of J and S.Dot performing in front of a blank white background in our college studio.We have looked at other music videos of the same genre from artists (such as Big Tipper) and base tracks in studios is amongst one of the popular locations. As our location is quite plain we have to make sure that our camera work contains a lot of different angles and camera movements to add a lively and fun ethos to the music video.

Sunday 15/11/15 Millenium Bridge

On Sunday we plan on going to the millennium bridge in the evening when it's less busy- this will make filming with the lighting and fig rig much easier as there will be less people around and less people walking into our shots. Our base tracks will be performance based with a few establishing shots of our scenery to set the mood of the music video. We are also going to show the two artists walking around the location to match the miss-en-scene to the lyrics.

Monday 16/11/15 Shoreditch (Gainsborough studios and Shoreditch high street)

The base tracks that we filmed (in the half term) in front of a graffiti wall in Shoreditch need to be re-filmed because we are collectively unhappy with the lighting and lack of variation within the base tracks. Therefore, we are going to go back to our location and shoot a minimum of 3 base tracks per artist. On the same day we aim to go to Gainsborough studios (which is also in Shoreditch) to film a performance base track near the canal and in front of the apartments of S.Dot as well as a few establishing shots. 

Tuesday 17/11/15  spare day 

If it gets too dark to film at Gainsborough studios, we will use this day to get any left over filming done in Shoreditch.

Addition to our locations? (Ellen)..

Today when discussing plans for when we will be filming over our long weekend we decided that we wanted another indoor location for our video. And because of our genre of UK rap we looked at more videos and saw that the use of a white studio was very common but before making it a definite location we'll be testing it this Wednesday.

Examples of videos that use white studios are

Fester Skank Remix:

Lean and Bop (by our original artist):

But because these songs have different themes to ours we want to test it out and make sure it fits in with the overall theme of our video and the lyrics. If it doesn't fit in the footage we get won't be used.

Blogged overview of todays editing

Today , we have reviewed the current footage we have and have seen what we need to improve on. In the lesson we have edited what we have at the moment and have identified some of the base tracks we have at the moment. We have realised that we have loads of Namco world footage but then again this is a good thing as we have loads of footage for the gaps.

Blogging update on filming (Samuel)

So far , the last time we have filmed was at half term. We filmed at Shoreditch as they had nice graffiti paintings which would have a positive effect on our video. However, we realised we only have a small amount of shot types and no close ups of the main artist S.Dot. Therefore , we plan to revisit Shoreditch and get all the missing shots that we need. On the same day ,  we went to London Docklands to film , however it did not go according to plan as on the spot we decided that we dont want to film there no more. The Tuesday after in half term , we went to Namco arcade and filmed many useful shots. This was risky as we visited Namco without asking for permission to film before hand , however our persuasive skills came in handy. We filmed there for around an hour and then we decided we had enough footage. On the same day , we filmed many establishing shots of the London eye and Tower bridge. We traveled to Millennium bridge , planning to film as this was one of our best locations but as we got there , we struggled to film as by passers kept disturbing the filming process and the lights kept shining in their eyes. Therefore we plan to either go there again at a later time e.g 9.30pm or just choose another location.

24 - Digipak ideas

I would like our front cover of the album to be one of the two above images. Firstly , the first image is a close up of the main artist with the synergy of the rings and glasses clearly seen. This would allow the audience to identify the main artist straight away and notice the synergetic items.

The Second image is of the artist and the feature , they are both wearing black clothing which matches our back and white theme. The rings are still seen however the glasses not as much.

I would like the back of my album cover to have the track lists of other songs and close u the main artists back hand with the rings on.

23 - Synergy Incoporation

In terms of synergy with the digipack , advertisment and website(soon to be made). The link between S.Dots glasses and multiple rings will form synergy which will be consistantly used. There will be pictures on the blog of the photoshoot that was taken in lesson of S.Dot and his rings. There will be close ups of his hands doing the prayer pose with the rings showing .

2nd November

As a group , we started filming at Shoreditch during the half term , which was our first base track. On Tuesday , we went to Namco arcade and asked for permission to film in which they granted. Namco was important as our genre is relationship based so we had to film the artists having fun as a 'Couple' or close to a couple. On the same day , we took a bus to millennium bridge ,  as we planned to film another base track there. As we tried to film , passengers repeatedly walked past and it was too busy to film. Therefore we were unable to film and plan to visit the millennium bridge to film again at a later time.  In todays lesson , we plan to review our shots and see what shots we are missing out on ,  we also downloaded our song through camtasia as the song is not on youtube and identified what we need to film next. On Wednesday we plan to film again at shoreditch to get the missing shots , depending on if the weather is as good as it was when we previously filmed.

As you can see the screenshots show some of the things we done in todays lesson.
