Today is a totally different story, as it snowed through the night and in the morning, it was unsure if school was going to open. It did open, but I didnt get in however, for safety reasons they closed to school at 11, so the double media lesson was missed, where we would have started to edit what we filmed on Monday.
As a group with a deadline looming just around the corner we are really worried that school will be closed for the rest of the week. We still need to film another part of our music video and edit it, and we have less the 3 weeks to do so.

30th November 2010
today after school we filmed the entire cat walk scene after school, using one of the drama rooms, we made sure to get enough footage for our music video. However if we haven’t we can always re-shoot. I personally feel that it went very well and smoothly! this is good for us as we filmed all of it and we have filmed more than enough to cut and chop bits if needed. We filmed in just over 2 hours and also took still shots on my camera which i have put in a folder on facebook so the girls can take them.

28th November 2010
We have figured out what the filming situation is for Friday the 26th November. Originally we were going to use a charity shop, however we are not now. Lauren came up with the idea of filming in the costume room in Drama, as it is full of lots of different types of clothing.
As a group we thought that this was a really good idea, it also meant that we didn’t have to limit our self to a time period like we would have if we had one to charity shop.
At break we went over to drama and asked about using the costume room during the day on Friday, when we have a free space in our timetable. It was all okayed and we plan on filming on Friday.
After school today we went up Bexleyheath to get some bits and bobs for the music video. What we got was some silver spray paint and tinsel for the cloning machine which kathryn will be making over the weekend. We also got our costumes that we will be wearing as the cloned models.
So far everything is going really well and hopefully we can start editing next week, so that if we do have to re-shot anything we will have time to do so

26th November 2010
Today has been a bad day for us as a group as we were meant to film, but Kathryn was the only one in and was unable to do it all herself . Laruen and Kirstie were on a film trip to the BFI libary for their film studies coursework and i was at home ill :(. So now we are going to have to move the filming of the performance part next week, when we film everything else too, but this cant be helped people get ill and more than one coursework deadline comes at once.

Today in the lesson we went over our storyboard and had to add some more clips in to make it work better and look more like an actuall music video. We added in about 30 more shots and its already starting to look better.

22nd November 2010
We are hoping to film part of our music video at the end of the week, as the deadline is coming up quickly. We are also filming on the week on the 29th the catwalk scene.
Planning For Digipack
For our artist we have to create a digipack for them to sell with the single that we are making a music video for on it. Here is a flat plan of what the digipack that I will be making looks like.
I have decided to go for a 6 panel digipack, as it will include a booklet, CD and DVD inside. I also decided to go with having jewel cases for the disks to go in, as I see that it will offer better protection for the disks then if it was just in a sleeve.
The digipack will contain all the typical codes and conventions that digipacks have. So on the back will be the list of songs, containing a bonus song, a barcode, the record label info.
On the front of the digipack there will be an image of the artist and her name Lucy Star, including a sticker which gives the customer a brief look to what they can expect from this digipack.
The CD will contain all the songs that she has recorded, plus a bonus song.
The DVD will contain things such as interviews, behind the scenes of the music video and her in the recording studio and clips from her time as an x – factor contestant.
On the inside panel it will contain Lucy Stars motto in life, " be who you wnat to be not what society tells you be" to help try and get it across to the rest of the world.
The booklet will contain information about all of the songs on the album and a list of thanks to people.

18th November 2010
Today during the lesson we was looking at a number of different digi packs, we then created our own one. All four of us created our own individual one although they ended up looking quite similar. This was an interesting process seeing how the digi packs come together. We then put our paper ideas onto the computer using photoshop.
Our Idea And Andrew Goodwin Theory
A criticism of our pitch was that we should link our idea to the music video theory by Andrew Goodwin.
1) "Music video's demonstrate genre characteristics." The first setting of our video is in a Charity shop, this shows the type of shops that Lucy Star prefers and would typically shop in. The second shows her creating havoc on the catwalk by rebelling against the 'clones'. This shows that she is against people copying one another and following the crowd of mainstream fashion, showing her with a care-free personality and not worrying what other think of her.
2) "There is a relationship between lyrics and visuals." In the charity shop and on the catwalk shows Lucy Star doing what she wants to do, just enjoying herself and having an enjoyable time, "Girl's Just Want To Have Fun."

Our Group Feedback
Our group pitched to the class today with the powerpoint previously posted on my blog. Below are parts that worked, didn't work and just suggestions that the class made. Each group had a sheet to write feedback on and we have collected it and wrote it below;
Parts the class thought were good/appropriate;
-Characters well planned
-2 easy locations
-Shows Lucy’s identity
-The changing room scene
-Song matches her characterises
-Clever idea about cloning machine
-80’s style for artist
Things they think we should develop or change;
-Confusing storyboard (Too simple)
-Think about the way you have used media language and link to Goodwin’s theory
-Need to find charity shop
-How are you doing the catwalk
-How would you film in the charity shop
Elements they think need more work on;
-Do you have permission for a charity shop
-How will the catwalk be shot and made
