I have recently completed some filming. What I have learnt from the filming session is that I maybe need to buy a camera of my own so I can edit the footage in my own leisure. Personally, I don't like the industry cameras so I will look into buying a DSLR because they can produce very high quality images; pictures and video. This will hopefully influence my future filming because I can simply use my own editing software at home which I deem to be easier to use than Final Cut, even though my software can produce many fades, filters etc.

I was originally a part of a group but I decided to go it alone because I had faith in my own ability to construct a viable and good set of Media products.

I have practised using the industry camera to get a feel of how to use it for my final production. I also tried out the tripod to play around with; I did this so I know straight away how to put together all my items. What I have learnt from doing this is that I know all the various settings to use regarding the camera so I have no problems with production. This will influence my work because on the day of filming, the work flow will be a lot smoother because I know how to use the camera and set up the tripod.

I have completed several versions of my hand drawn drafts. I completed these hand drawn drafts with the intention of my final products having some resemblance to them. What I have learnt by creating these hand drawn drafts for my ancillary products is the various layouts I intend to use for my actual drafts. This will influence my work because I will use these drafts as a guide with my final construction.

I have had a meeting with my actors and showed them my pitch, with an extended plan of what I intend for the music video. This went extremely well because I know that they're good actors through my auditions and they detailed any concerns they had which I explained to make sure they follow my 'vision' of how I want my products to look once fully constructed.

I have completed a costume and props list for all of my products to conform to the conventions of the alt rock genre. I did this by completing an interactive YouTube video detailing all the equipment and props I need to use for the products. From my analysis of primary research, the artist wore dark clothes and that influenced my list because I wanted to conform to the genre.

I have completed some further planning in an attempt to create a coherent feel between my products because of clear brand identity links. What I have completed includes choosing my location choices; this was important because I must appeal to the target audience's ideologies through the use of urban scenery. I also created risk assessments of various locations because assessing danger is very important so there are no problems in the production phase.
