I have started and continued editing my footage at college using Final Cut Express. I am finding it fairly easy to use but I really want to edit my footage at home and I have had real problems doing this. I tried import the footage onto a massive SD card but when I looked at the footage at home, the footage didn't upload to my editing software (probably because of the file type). The way I will combat this is to continue editing at college and hope that it works out. If there are any problems, I will possibly look into buying a DSLR after extensive research.

I have produced my first draft website and digipaks. They were not as good I was hoping to be because I was continuing the research and planning phase along with creating the products so I believed they suffered in that sense. I will gain target audience feedback to see what they believe could be improved for the products.

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.
