Starting the Newspaper Advert and Radio Trailer

Today myself and Lewis decided which clips from the documentary we were going to include in our radio trailer. After we had a list of usable clips we then decided on what order they would go in while finding the original video files so that we could ad them to the radio trailer on Premiere.
While we were doing this, Amy was starting to making a start on creating the newspaper advert by cutting the guitar images off their white backgrounds so that they could be put on a new coloured background, and also placing them in the circle in Photoshop.

Guitar photographs

Today Amy and I went back to Frailers to take photographs of some of the guitars there. Frank (the owner) let us use a separate room to do this in to ensure we didn't disturb the shop. We were planning on also photographing some plectrums today, however as they are in packets, we'd have to buy them. So instead we will take pictures of my own plectrums and edit them in Photoshop, as they are all white and we want our background to have colour.

Final draft of the voiceover scripts

Script redrafting

After receiving feedback from Mark on our voiceover script, Lewis had began to implement this feedback while I type up the plan for the radio trailer script.

UPDATE:

As the deadline is so soon I began to continue to work on the scripts so that I can show Lewis and Amy in lesson tomorrow and they can edit it if they wish to at the start of the lesson before we show them to Mark. I also have the sketch for our newspaper advert.

Continuing with scripts

Today we continued to cut down and edit the voiceover scripts to ensure that it will definitely fit into the time frame it needs to. We've clarified that the person we want to do our voiceover for us is able to do it so now we just need to finish the script and arrange a time to record it. He will also be the voiceover in our radio trailer, which we are currently still writing the script for.





We are still working on our ideas for the newspaper advert's image. So far we have

• a toy guitar morphing into a real guitar
• sections of different guitars cut together to make one full image
• picks placed around the edges of a guitar's body
• guitars placed in a circle

These were handed in to Mark and by the end of the lesson he told us to work on the guitars placed in a circle. We've decided that I will go out to take pictures of guitars when I can through the week and these will be edited in photoshop to create the final image.

Drafts of scripts

Today I started to edit down the voiceover script so that it would fit into the gaps that we have for it, as after reading over it, some parts were slightly too long.


While I did this, Amy watched the documentary and listened for any voice clips that we'd be able to use in the radio trailer.

Editing: day 17

Now that the editing is complete and waiting to be seen by Mark, we began to discuss our ideas for our newspaper advert. We decided on the slogan "Take Your Pick" but are yet to come up with an image to go with it. Deciding to brainstorm this individually before our next lesson we moved onto the voiceover for the documentary.We've managed to rite out a full first draft which is also waiting to be reviewed by Mark.

Editing: day 16

Today I printed out the new still images for the cutaways, then myself and Lewis continued to film them while Amy continued to edit the documentary.

Editing: day 15

Today as a group we worked on adding the new cutaways (filmed still images) to the documentary. Some of these were quite shaky or rushed but we managed to fine a good clip of most of them. Unfortunately some will need to be refilmed and we have decided to print out more images to film, we have saved the new images ready to print and have booked out a camera and tripod ready for filming the rest on another day.

Filming still images

Today Amy and I printed out a bunch of still images to link to each interview and filmed them to be used as cutaways.
