Florence + The Machine- You've Got the Love




We chose this song because of its meaningful lyrics. We have completely changed the genre of our music video, instead of a party track we have opted for a power balled by a very well known current pop star.

New idea

 

After current circumstances we have ghad to change our original idea. I believe our new idea could work better than our old one, with a better, more well-known song and more action involved. A more popular song will eppeal to more to our target audience, which will remain the same even though we have changed our idea.

Creating a website

To create our website we will be using Weebly. Weebly is a free thing for us to use to help us create a website for our education puposes.

The way codes are used to target the audience and attempt to address them appropriately
Different audience may find certain layout and design choices more appealing. A key issue with websites is the way they attempted to encourage audience activity and interactivity to attract audiences in and persuade them to return or pass on information to the website

The technical codes used
Certain technical codes are now common place on website. Many sites provide moving image or audio content and also provide some form of audience activity or interaction. Sometimes this is related to the content of the site so film marketing sites often offer downloads, such as music and images whereas news-based sites provide areas for audience members to comment on published news stories.
The codes and conventions in terms of layout and design
The key consideration in effective web design is usability, therefore websites need to be clear, logical and easy to navigate. There are several conventional types of layout and design for websites and often they emulate some form of old media. A grid system is used to separate sections of a website and to present information in small, easy ways to access segments. The centre of the page is often used to the main content with navigations tools on the left and/or across the top of the page and links to more detailed information on the right. The background and font colour are often used to separate different types of information and images are used to illustrate as much as possible to add visual interest.

The codes and conventions in terms of context of a website
Websites which contain factual information will look different to those created for entertainment. There are distinct conventions in terms of news websites, film promotion websites, websites focussing on health issues etc.

Genre codes
In addition to the content leading layout and design choices, where websites are based on existing genres (e.g. Broadsheets or Tabloid Newspapers, Lifestyle magazines Horror films) the web design used recognisable codes and conventions from the genres to ensure audiences recognise the genre and are frames to have appropriate expectations.
 
 

Adobe Premiere Pro

 






Above is some screen shots of how to access Adobe Premiere Pro from my computer. This opens up the editor for us to begin using it.


This is how to open a new project to start editing, if anything goes wrong or you just want to start again you can use this


This is how to import a file onto Adobe. When you click on this button it takes you to your documents where you can select what video to edit.


This is what will happen when you have selected what file to open to edit. The top picture on the right shows what you have select to import. one edited it will drag down the the time bar at the bottom. The screen on the left will then show everything edited and put together so far after you have imported more than one file.


Finally this is how to save your final edit. Once saved it cannot be re-edited but you can import the whole file and edit on top of it and save it again.

Our new song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5bo4VDEH-U&feature=player_embedded

11.12.12

Due to factors effecting our filming, we have decided to change our inital idea. We have decided as our videos have to be in in late December to do a fun video of a very well known Christmas song by Mariah Carey, All I Want For Christmas Is You.

Our idea is totally different from our original but the target audience and feedback we recieved is still the same.

The Plot of out new video is similar to the video of Nickelback - Rockstar
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1hgVcNzvzY
We will have different types of people singing, like: friends, family, teachers etc.

Most of the shots in our shots will be close ups or extreme close ups, maybe even medium shots if we are filming a group.

I think this video could be better than our initial idea because we can make it funny and humorous, with funny christmas outfits or a funny background.
