LF: Targets for the rest of the week

• Thursday: Film the studio footage, possible still images for print work.
• Friday: Editing studio shots during lesson or free periods, capturing footage of girl for the video.
• Saturday: Capturing night footage in London; Southbank, O2 Arena, St Thomas’ hospital

Audience Feedback

The following points were made after our class had watched the rough cut of our footage:

• Audience thinks that there should be some sort of reference in the footage to a girl. We like this idea and will be looking to intergrate a slight narative of a female presence into our video.


• Overall they thought there were some very effective shots and there was good camera movement throughout. We are pleased with this as we did pay particular attention to how we should use movement effectively in our piece.


• Another piece of feedback we recieved was that although our framing was good, we should try and stay within the frame more often.


• We are pleased with this feedback but even though it was very encouraging it is still early days and our editing is very rough. With more time for editing we hope to make our video extremely good.

LF: Rough Idea Print Work

Here is a rough hand drawn draft of my tour poster. Ideas I have tried to include are;

• Film noir theme of having half the face in darkness.
• I’m considering 3 types of background; Low depth of field of an iconic building in London, a brick wall leading to using a high contrast as scene in the take that tour poster, or simple use a completely black background, with the shots being taken in Photoshop.
• Although the three members of JLT are different height I would edit the photograph in Photoshop making them appear the same height.
• I am thinking of overlapping the images so only the left hand side of the face is in full view.
• The font will appear in the lower third of the poster. JLT will sit slightly above the name of the tour, ‘Close To You’. I feel this is the best place to locate the name of the band because I want the original focus of the poster to be the original black and white image.
• In relation to costume, I feel we should wear different clothing to that in the video, nonetheless I feel we should stick with the black and white film.
• I have chosen to reveal the left hand side of the face because I feel and iconic aspect of boy band culture is an earring, therefore by revealing the left hand side of the face I am trying to conform to the conventions of the genre.
