Current Progress

Over the past few weeks, I have been re-evaluating many things and approaching my media texts differently than I had done before. I knew in myself I had not put the time and effort I had needed to into my past video, so I decided to start a fresh and came up with some new ideas. I firstly decided to recast the protagonist in my video, who is now Michaela Marson. In honesty, Michaela does seem to set the brief more as she:

- understands the lyrics meaning and song itself

- I had worked with her last year on creating my music magazine so I knew I could rely on her

- knows the song well and can be easily told what to do

- enjoys being in front of the camera and gets into her character well

- she is my best friend so we get on well and it wont be as much of a struggle to film and get on with the brief.


I have already made lots of progress when filming my video. As I didnt have much footage before, it wasnt hard for me to edit and pick up from where I left off. I began filming 2 weeks ago and by this date today I have nearly completed my video. I have a few gaps to fill, but with the approval for my idea, and from what they have already seen, Tim and John have made me feel much more positive about acheiving what I need to acheive before the deadline arises. I now have to crack on with my ancillary tasks, and begin my evaluation, but I also need to keep track of what I have been doing so I can post it up on the blog.
