The research and planning First, I downloaded the track of ‘mediafire’, which is an internet software which allows you to download songs. I began my research on my video and its typical stereotype by going on the internet to search the artist. This allowed me to watch the video and discover the ideas of the video. Next I analysed two videos which I found to have a similar concept and genre. I used this information to help construct my own video. I used a camera to take pictures of the locations we were filming at so it was easier to see the location and background of certain shots. I then uploaded all of my pictures on to a blog I created for my research and planning. Part of my planning was to create a shooting schedule for my video. This helped me to organise which days i was going to film. We used the information from earlier resaearch on the stereotype to decide what type of props, make-up and performance we were goping to use within the video. For my ancillary text, I used real digipak’s as well as images of digipak’s from online sources as research for my own digipak. The production As I was playing christina in the video I didn’t get to do much filming however i did help in deciding what type of shots were going to be used such close-up and over the shoulder shot. ‘. This was great fun and I loved playing with the angles. I also used a tripod which was very useful as it helped me keep it the shots steady. I uploaded these shots and the rest that my and began to edit them in 'imovie. After this I exported the video onto you tube and made it public so viewers could comment. For my ancillary text I used illustrator and Photoshop however I searched different sites (lunapic and picnik) for editing images so I could have more options for editing. Then I created the backrounds for the images by exploring different brushes on photoshop. After this they were imported onto illustrator where I was able to add text to the images.
