Jake's Update Post

Just a brief blog about what Joe and I have discuss that doesn't necessarily fit into any other posts or isn't long enough for its own post.

Thursday, January 19th.
On Friday, January 13th, Joe and I sat down and attempted to record a video log for our blog, this would add a variety to the types of media we have used so far and can be very creative. We both have seen many video logs so we have had a good idea of how to structure it. The video log was about our target audience, as we agreed that we couldn't really add a variety of media to this blog post, so a video log sounded like a good idea. After we had recorded our video log, we found it quite had to edit creatively, as we didn't take enough breaks or have a lot of variety, so we are unsure about posting this video log at the moment.

Although, we both like the idea of weekly video logs. Over the last few days we have discussed possible names and themes for what they could be about. These can either be together or separately, we both have the same editing software at home so individual wouldn't be so hard.
We both agree that video logs are creative and fun to produce, it would also help improve the presentation of the blog instead of a wall of text.

Joe and I are both looking forward to producing our film, we have so many ideas that we want to incorporate, but I find the problem I'm having is remembering we are just doing an opening scene. We plan to record everything we think of, so we can mix and match when editing together the clips.

Finally, I like the idea of having a random post that quickly shows our ideas and discussions that don't fit into other posts. I will discuss further with Joe.

Tuesday, January 24th.

Over the past few days, Joe and I have been trying to organise the date we wish to record our footage on. This involved talking with the friends we wanted to be involved in our production and seeing when they are available. Filming time is between February 6th and the February 24th, which includes half-term. Joe and I would like to film as early as possible, so we tried to arrange for the 11th of February, but most people weren't available on this date so we decided that the next few days after that should be fine.

I'm also considering doing video logs for this post as it would be a lot more interesting and creative way to share our random thoughts and discussions.

Finally, in my opinion, after the initial beginning posts, influences and moodboards etc, it has been quite slow thinking of ideas for new posts and adding work to our old posts, so work on the blog has been slow whlist doing our storyboards.
