Garage Band

For our 2nd piece we were not alloud to use a copyright theme tune therefore we used a programme (Garage Band) to create our own piece. It has a variety of instrument solo's from guitars to piano's to electronic sounds.
I worked with Josh Cat and Maz on garage band. Unfortunately we could not find any decent sounds for our piece. Using garage band will help in the future so we can easily create music.

Magazine Covers

We paired up to create a magazine cover and contents. Using a picture of somebody around the school taken from a mid-shot angle. We have to take 3 Colours, 3 Fonts and not too much writing into accountantcy while creating the cover for a magazine thats called 'Lutto's Latest'. I worked with Josh on this practical as we are similar and like the same things and colours.
After designing our cover and contents we went out to take a picture for the front cover. We went out to take a picture but were unsuccessful as we could not find anyone fit to have the picture of them taken.

2nd practical

We and Josh decided to pair up with Cat and Maz to see if we could work with both genders. Together we worked well to produce a piece where Maz dumped Wez in a cafe scene.
The scene was suppose to be in the coffee shop but it was closed so we had to improvise and filmed it in one of the D.T rooms.

We used a variety of shots sticking to the 180 degree rule.
In the edits we mainly used fade in/outs we also tried to create a backing track but it didn't work well.
Overall i think it was a good team effort and i thought it was a change from having an all boy group. The film went smoothly but the edits was quite difficult.
