After much consideration and trial and error, this is the final choice of music for our film.

Week 12

We have now presented our ideas and film to our classmates. The presentation went well and we got some positive feedback on our film. One comment praised the music choice and how it fitted well with the moving images. We are almost finished with the project and just need to tidy up the audio of the film. One last job now to write the evaluation of the entire project.

Week 11

I am currently adding the finishing touches to the group presentation this week. Collecting visual aids such as the image above which is linked to our theme of 'movement' and subsequently, healthy living and keeping fit. This advertising campaign is one of the main influences for our film.

Week 10

My partner Bex and I have begun to edit the contrast of the photos taken on the shoot. There are a large number of images that need editing so we are using our free time to make use of the computer labs. We will then begin to put the photos together using Adobe Flash. Recently we have been discussing the choice of song to put over the film. Originally, we were both decided on using a reggae ska band, The Skints. However, from looking at the rhythm of the film, none of these tracks gel well together. Therefore we have decided to experiment with Mumford & Sons and Florence & The Machine.

Step-by-step process of editing photos: (Using Photoshop)

Image-> adjustments -> Colour Contrast
Image-> adjustments -> Brightness & Contrast 74 & 100
Image-> image size -> resolution 72
Image-> image size -> width 550 & height 400
Save as-> (number)res.jpg Max 12->

This is an example of one of the edited images
