Progress Update 28/11/14
This week has been extremely busy and therefore I have struggled to do a lot.
I've tried to work on my ancillary at home; I've created a mood board, begun to take and select specific images and look at website templates. I also took the time to look up some quotes about Jack Johnson which I thought I could include within the digipak or on the website.
We have also made quite a lot of progress with our video and editing is coming along nicely. I looked at timings today and we tried to put the clips in the places that we wanted them to be. We decided that to have a sense of continuity we wanted the clips from day time and night time separate. We initially put it all in a random order but we felt it looked too broken up so decided the put the night scenes at the end. From this we were able to see where there were gaps and therefore where we need to get more footage. Whilst we have a lot we feel a lot of it is quite repetitive and we want to make sure the video has enough variation.
I would really like to get some clips of a bonfire and marshmallows.
We have had a discussion about what footage each of us can get, for example Holli has a cadet ball coming up where she can get some footage.
We've also had an idea that since things are becoming very Christmassy we could take some film that incorporates this which will mean it links more with "Love Actually."
This weekend I would like to make some significant progress in terms of my ancillary. I will aim to get the website completed and then I can do my digipak next week when I can get on the software.

Production~ Mood Board
I decided to crerate a mood board for my digipak and website. I did this because I wanted to have a clear idea of what I wanted my digipak and website to look like. It gives me a clear direction to follow. And now I can see what images I need to get myself and can arrange that.
Production~ Photoshoot
Holli went out with Ben and took lots of photos. Before the shoot, we sat down and had a discussion about the types of shots we all wanted and where we thought the photoshoot should take place. We decided, since our video was set in Autumn, having him in a wood surrounded by all the autumnal colours would be ideal and would allow audiences to make the link.
I decided I wanted some shots of Ben from the back with the guitar draped over his shoulder. The images that Holli took were absolutely perfect and exactly what I wanted. Because there are so many, there is plenty of choice so when it comes to creating the final digipak and website, I will have plenty to choose from.
I particularly love the richness of the colours and how it truly portrays autumn.
