General Update - 26.01.15

Here is a checklist of things that have happened recently regarding production, and the things that I have planned to do in the coming weeks:

Completed in January

• Draft cut completed and uploaded to YouTube as an Unlisted video / Posted to Blog
• Questionnaire for Focus Group designed and sent out to the 8 members (26/1)
• Ideas generated for Digipak and Magazine Advertisement and photos taken
• Final scene for 2nd verse regarding the group of friends setting out to find Tom filmed, put into Final Cut and into the right section of the video.
• Initial experimentation in Photoshop to develop skills with software
• Draft of the covers for the Digipak and Magazine Advertisement complete 

To do in the next few weeks

• TO FILM: Sections with the Girl, arranged for next week. Final section with the Girl and Elliott. Final section with the group of friends at night. 
• Hear back from the Focus Group and make appropriate changes to the video- potentially film extra shots/edit other areas.
• Continue development of digipak and finalise magazine advertisement - now the main focus of lesson time, as the video is essentially completed.
• Case Study for research into an aspect of the music industry - contacting a local band for a brief interview
• Last touches to the corrections on research pieces. 
• Director's Commentary and Evaluation (to come on to in lesson)

Overall I feel that regarding time management, everything is in order and "to-do's" are all attainable, as now I can focus on the ancillary texts in lesson and make appropriate changes to the video when I can.
