Audience feedback after presentation of our project.

For audience feedback I chose to use social media and SurveyMonkey to collect responses. This is because I thought that if I handed out paper questionnaires people wouldn't be as honest if they are close friends or acquaintances of mine. The survey I created was anonymous so I couldn't see who had answered what and I feel that this is a better way to conduct a survey from my sociological experience. I asked a mixture of people to take my survey and I had mixed feedback. (PLEASE CLICK TO ENLARGE)

Additional Materials Log - Logo

Logo:
After research into different film openings of my genre, I looked at different production company logos and decided to make my own for our group media product. 
This was the first logo I created,
but after showing my group they
said they would prefer it without the
border.

This is the finished logo that we decided to use.











I came up with the name 'Galaxy Productions' as it is easy to remember and did 2 different logos before I was happy with it.













I created these logos on a website called PicMonkey. This is an online picture editing service. I crated them with shapes and tools on the website and didn't use any content belonging to anybody else, therefore I had the right to use the Production Logo in our final product.

Additional Materials Log - Music/Audio

Music:
We considered the fact that we couldn't use copyright music so have used Royalty Free Music from Incompetech

Royalty Free Music isn't always copyright free but we looked into this and the source of our music states that we can use this as long as we credit the music in our video, which we have in our video titles and we also have in our video description on Youtube. 


We also took out the natural video sound and replaced it in the scene where Alex sees Chloe with a 'Crow Cawking' sound effect which we used from a company called FreeSoundTube which provides free sound effects for use, we also used another sound effect from them called 'Ghosts Whispering'.

I messaged the owner of these sound effects using social media and gained permission as long as I credit one of the pieces. 







This shows our Music Credit title in our video.

Health and Safety Notes




Reconnaissance Notes

Location: North End Park

The area we are filming in is a public park so there are members of public around the area walking dogs and there may be children. We are not allowed to film members of the public without permission so we will time it right to film when the park isn't busy.

We have previously had problems with the wind causing noise in our footage and the weather has recently been bad, so we are hoping to film when these won't be an issue.

Time Management

We are managing our time by allocating certain times to get things done. 

Filming: We have allocated a Tuesday Week B to get the filming done as it will take a few hours. We can film over lunch and in the 2 free periods we all have. We had to organise between us this time, as sometimes we have different frees and when one of us might be available, the others might not have been.

Editing: We have agreed all three of us will stay Monday after school as this is a day when there are buses after school for Chloe & Mal to get home on. At least twice a week we will edit in free periods and we will edit it in lesson time too, where available to do so.

Blog work: This was mostly done at home or in free periods individually.

As you can see, we have split our time between filming and editing separately from our blog work too, to enable us enough time on the editing suites to edit our film opening, and this also allows us to have enough time to sort out any problems such as technical issues or re-filming shots.
