This is our 23rd weekly podcast. This week we focused on media theories for our written exam and started planning our evaluation questions. Bronwen worked on getting the digipack done, whereas Kristian worked on trying to include the newsfeed on our website by downloading several templates. I created rough cut 16, which should be a final cut next week. Next week, we will also film for our evaluation questions and we intend to have a final version of our entire package including digipack, video and website.

This is our 22nd weekly podcast. This week I edited together our rough cut 15 and we got audience feedback for it. Also, we filmed some more narrative with our female protagonist burning the pictures of her and our male protagonist Wayne. And I included this in our music video. Also, we focused on getting our social media accounts done, so I created some more posts and Kristian will try and include this social media on our website next week so that our website will be done as well. Next week we will all be working on Evaluation Questions and Bronwen will work on getting the digipack done, and I will try and get a final cut done.

This week, we focused a lot on getting a final version of our music video done so that we would next week be able to correct and work on minor details. Also, Kristian created some more merch which he added to the website, whereas I added quotes from the individual band members and the bibliography to the website. Furthermore, Kristian filmed more narrative, which you can see a post on on his blog. I then added this new narrative footage to the video. Next week we will focus on working on the digipack, working further on evaluation questions and the video, and try to get the website done. Thank you for listening.

This is our 17th weekly podcast. This week we spent a lot of our classes talking about different theorists. We especially focused on intertextuality by Kristeva and discussed in which ways our music videos has intertextuality. Intertextuality is the process of creating references to any kind of media text via another media text. On our blogs you can clearly see what intertextuality we have in our music videos. The reason why we did this is because intertextuality is one of the common conventions of music videos and the first evaluation question is focusing on conventions. Next week we will be working on evaluation questions and during the holidays we intend to edit, work on digipack and website and finalise our evaluation questions.

Hello everyone and welcome back to our 15^th weekly podcast. This week we filmed our full performance part for our music video, which worked really well. We had great lighting and managed to get a lot of good shot variety for our music video. Also, Kristian and I filmed our narrative, which consists of the couple scenes and the running sequence. Another part of the narrative is some underwater footage of our lead singer, which Kristian and I filmed with a waterproof GoPro in a pool. I have edited a sequence of 2min and 8 seconds together this week and have for each 40-50 seconds uploaded the rough cut to YouTube so that I can evidence the journey of our music video. By next week we will also try to get a nearly final rough cut 1 so that we can get some good audience feedback in case we would need to re-shoot something. We will by the end of January also visit a green screen room here in Luxembourg, where we will get some further footage of our lead guitarist, bass guitarist and lead singer. Furthermore, we intend to shoot our female protagonist burning some pictures of her and the male protagonist. 

After having gotten some really useful audience feedback today that I can use when I am editing the rest of rough cut 1, I expect to have a full rough cut by next week Friday after we have visited the green screen room and have the final footage.

Hello everyone and welcome back to our 14^th weekly podcast. Last weekend Kristian and I did a practice shoot with the new band members for our new track Throne by BMTH. The practice shoot worked well, but after looking at the footage we decided to change the costume of our key boarder because he was wearing something very similar to our lead singer and also decided to go for our lead guitarist not wearing glasses. Also, we found that we should have some more shot variety and some more “interesting” shots. Next week we will be filming the full performance part and the narrative for our music video, where we now know what we should aim for.

Hello everyone and welcome back to our 13^th weekly podcast. This week Kristian worked a lot on our Digipack in order to get it done for today. Kristian and I worked on getting the website up and running. I worked on the band bibliography and the texts that go onto the website, while Kristian focused on the news, and the gallery links lists. Also, I tried to set up our album and upload all the tracks of BMTH album. In the beginning we found it really difficult but after a while I figured out how to do it and decided to create a tutorial on it which is up on my blog. 

Unfortunately Bronwen and I have been ill, so when we haven’t been there Kristian has focused his lessons on exam preparation, media language and working on website and digipack. Next week we will be filming the performance and narrative for our new music video for the track “Throne”. However we will change the band, since we feel that there isn’t any more time to waste and not all band members were available next week so we might change 2-3 band members such as the lead guitar and the drummer.

Script:

Hello everyone and welcome to our 12^th weekly podcast after the Christmas holidays. During the holidays our group talked a lot to each other and we decided that we wanted to change our track. We came to the conclusion that it was really hard to edit to the song “Follow You”, especially because it wasn’t as fast paced as a usual rock song. Also, after some audience feedback we discovered that our narrative idea wasn’t clear unless we had told the audience the story beforehand. Therefore, we sat down and talked about changing the track to another BMTH song. We didn’t want to change the artist since we thought that we had spent too much time and effort on creating website, digipack and social media accounts in order to throw all the work away and start from the beginning. We will create a new narrative story and also re-shoot performance in different locations than the skate park. I will do a pitch, that will explain everything in detail next week.

Hey all, this is our 11^th weekly podcast, this week we have focused mainly on working on our website, digipack and our social media. Kristian and I focused on the website. We put up the merchandise that Bronwen created and I created texts for the band bibliography and the introduction of the website. Furthermore, Bronwen finished creating the band logo, which we intend to put up on our social media next week. Also, next week we intend to speak to our band members for a re-shoot of the performance scene. We discovered that we had a lot of shots that we couldn’t use due to a camera being in the shot or shaky footage. Therefore, we will re-shoot the performance shoot in January.

Welcome to our 10^th weekly podcast. This week we had our mock exam, so besides looking more at sample footage, there was mainly revision going on. Also, we didn’t manage to shoot the color powder scene, due to a lack of actors showing up. Hence we will try to film it on the 20^th of December. This week, we intend to create a full rough cut 1 with the narrative and performance together. I suggested that we for each week Friday create a rough cut, which we take turns on creating each week. Therefore this week it is my turn to edit rough cut 1. Also, we then intend to film audience feedback every week, in order to be able to provide evidence of our journey. This week we will be looking at our website and the creating of our merchandise. Furthermore, Bronwen will be creating our logo, which we will then photoshop and put up on our social media. I will be updating our production schedule and creating a post on call sheets and our social media.
