VLOG


 video blog or video log, sometimes shortened to vlog (pronounced 'vlog' or 'v-log') is a form of blog for which the medium is video, and is a form of web television. Vlog entries often combine embedded video (or a video link) with supporting text, images, and other metadata. Entries can be recorded in one take or cut into multiple parts. The vlog category is popular on YouTube.
Video logs (vlogs) also often take advantage of web syndication to allow for the distribution of video over the Internet using either the RSS or Atom syndication formats, for automatic aggregation and playback on mobile devices and personal computers 
I made a VLOG mashing together footage from Grace's,Milly's and my phone to show our journey through this film opening.
This helps people get to know us and therefore be more willing to look at or buy our film after production

I used this app named Magisto. I used online tutorials  like the following to help create the best vlog I could

Promotion

It was essential to promote our film to raise awareness and deliver our film to a wider audience. We did this through Social Media. 
Due to our film being of a low budget we used free ways of spreading our film online.
However if we were a high budget film we would use ideas including bus advertisements, TV adverts, trailers before Youtube clips and Newspapers

This is an example from Youtube of advertisement

Development of Storyboard

This is our final storyboard that we are going to use to help create the image that we want to make a reality during the filming process.

Above shows the difference from our initial story board and the final.

We went into a lot more detail and used it a lot throughout our filming process.

Filming schedule

It was essential for us to stick to a tight filming schedule as to meet the deadlines and have time to make relevant changes

We met Monday before school to plan for the week ahead and discuss any new ideas .

After editing on a Thursday (which gave us time for nighttime to commence so we had the darkness needed in our opening) , we would film . Our lesson on Friday we would analyse footage and plan what else we needed

Sunday we went back to our location of Calverly Park to film the additions 

Our timetable is a key feature on all of our bedroom walls!

This is a video that displays the various audience feedback sessions we had over the time of making our film opening! This was a massive help as it allowed us to get the opinions of our target market.

Technologies used

These are the technologies we used during our process of create our film opening and evaluating it.
















Our answer to evaluation question 6 helps to explain what technologies we used throughout our process and what we learnt from them...take a look :












Scripting

Scripting. Or not scripting in our case. We have no lines in our film opening as we felt the lack of dialogue kept suspense and played to simplistic fears, The fear of the unknown.

During our evaluation however we did script. We created a film of our answers and the majority of these were scripted, in order to ensure precision and profesionalism.
