Production Diary Final

So that's it, everything is done and dusted and I feel satisfied with my products that I am sending off, my music video, digipak and magazine advert. I have worked hard on all the individual tasks but hopefully the hard work and many hours will pay off. I am confident in using the programs Adobe InDesign and Premiere and other programs such as Prezi, YouTube, Vimeo and other online platforms.

For me personally the biggest challenge I faced with this coursework project was probably managing my time with all the tasks that had to be completed, as of course I have other subjects too. I worked around this by staying after school and completing the tasks I could at home, as well as downloading the Adobe Trials so I could work on my music video and evaluations at home.

The thing I most enjoyed about the project was being able to watch my products back and seeing people's reactions to it - I accepted critical feedback which I took into account, but it was also nice to see emotional responses too, as my video is very much narrative based. The ultimate best part has to be finally pressing the 'Publish' button!

!I very much enjoyed this project and coursework as it allowed me to explore my creative side - I have always wanted to create a music video and finally I got the chance to do it. I am very grateful to the following people, both onscreen and backstage, for their help in this collossal task: Beth Harvey, Adam Menia, Deane Gerrish, Claire Boston, William Hobbs, Marcus Knight Adams and Eli Beristain. I'd also like to thank the teachers at Haydon School, in particular Mr Fisher and Mrs Baker Perkins for their help and advice.
