31st January 2012 Filming
Today we wasn't in the lesson as we continued to improve our filming. Laurence couldnt get to the clubhouse so we did the shots that we didnt need him for today and at the weekend we will continue further. Today we filmed shots such as me walking up the stairs as only I was needed, but on Saturday, when we intend to film we can try and perfect the 360 degree shot.

More Ancillary Task
Today I continued with the ancillary task of the magazine advert by making a layout on fireworks and making the template. I will probably do the actual advert at home as there is easier access to un-blocked sites such as 'YouTube' etc and I have Photoshop, but today's lesson was productive as I now know what the magazine will look like on the computer.

10/1/12 Today's Lesson
As well as finding different adverts for which we can use, today's split focus was to make up a band name, the font for the Magazine and webpage and decide on the colours.
Ryan is taking the responsibility of the webpage as he does ICT and today began to design what it will look like etc. We then as a group had to decide on the colours and font of them both. We all agreed that the main colours should be black, white and red, however grey as well, as we can use the duller colours for the background and then the brighter colours such as white and red for the text.
An example of the Kasabian webpage (print screen):
The band name was quite a problem for us, so we went on a band name generator site and after many awful names 'The Bambinos' came up which we agreed on as it was taking too long.
Then we had to get a font which is appropriate and links to the music. Even though it firstly looks quite child like, it links to the video as he is playing a game and it is clear and easy to read.

10/1/12 Further planning
Firstly I looked for more inspiration and ideas from not only Kasabian magazine ads, but other bands, such as Arctic Monkeys and Beady Eye. Here are some of the adverts that I found.
^This is an advert for Beady Eye's song 'The Roller'.
^This is an advert for Kasabian's song 'Shoot The Runner'
^This is an advert for Kasabian's song 'Underdog'
These three examples are very useful as all of them are just advertising a song, rather than an album or a new band which is what we want to do. This is useful as we can look at how they have laid it out and what kind of content they use. The advert for 'Shoot the runner' is quite rare for Kasabian as they use lot's of vibrant colours which isn't typical for them. For the magazine we want duller colours, and need to make sure that the font, colours etc link to the webpage.

New schedule and improvements
As well as focusing on planning our ancillary tasks, we also had to plan when we will make our improvements as well as making sure we know exactly what we have to do at what times.
This is our new production schedule, we plan to film on Mondays in our free time and edit on Tuesdays, allowing some Tuesday lessons for working on our ancillary tasks too.We have also noted down what we need to do, so we are organised for filming.

Planning Ancillary task
Today we started to plan our ancillary tasks. The two that we have chosen to produce are the magazine advert and the web page. This will work well as Ryan does ICT so has experience in creating a web page and I do English which means I will be most suited to writing the text for both pieces. I have found an advert from the NME magazine for a Kasabian tour, which we can use as inspiration. This is a good advert as it gives us an idea of what kind of colours and imathe real band uses in one of their advert.
(Kasabian advert in NME magazine)As well as this we also did a mock example of what our magazine advert will look like. Firstly we need to think of a band name and then think of the mise en scene which would link to the genre of music we are producing. The idea that we came up with is quite simple and will use not too vibrant colours as you can see from the actual Kasabian advert that they use duller colours. Also in the example magazine advert, it will include a main image, probably of me the main character (possibly from one of our shots), with quotes and appropriate headings etc.
