Magazine Advert
I have started creating my magazine advert in photoshop which is taking some time because photoshop at first is quite difficult to use and get the hang of, however with the help of the media technicians my magazine advert is coming along okay.
This is the photo I'm using for my magazine advert, which I placed in photoshop where I will begin to edit the photo and create my magazine advert.
At this part, I was playing around with photoshop, to work out the tools and find out how I wanted the colour of the photo. Here, I made the photo black and white.
I was again playing around with the colour of the picture and this time was making the picture brighter and was changing the shadows and highlights of the picture which made the picture brighter.
I made the picture even brighter again by going to image, then adjustments and then changed the brightness and contrast of the picture.
I finally got the colour of the picture which I wanted by adjusting the brightness and contrast, I balanced the colour by not making it bright or too dark.
This is my finishing magazine advert I have added 5 stars which represent the rating of the magazine advert, I imported these stars from the internet into photoshop. I then added a long, slim rectangle shape along the right side of the magazine advert as a border, I then coloured this border purple and added the text 'Insatiables'. I also inserted the text 'Brand New Single' and 'Ego' above the picture and in a white colour font so that, the text stood out from the background and other parts of the magazine advert.

Filming - Wednesday 25th
On Wednesday 25th January, we filmed our narrative scenes at Kerry's house, where we filmed scenes that involved the boys. We filmed for about 2 hours and we managed to get some footage filmed. However, after reviewing on the day and looking back at what we have filmed, we felt that it was not good at all because the lighting was bad and the footage was quite grainy and dark and what we had filmed didn't seem to turn out very well.
We have decided we will re-film these scenes but we are going to consider doing something else where it will not involve the boys or do the scene differently. We are aiming to get all of our filming done by Sunday 5th Feb.

Filming & Magazine advert pictures- Tuesday 17th & Wednesay 18th
On Tuesday 17th, we took pictures in the studio for our magazine advert, this was during our first and second period of our media lesson. We did successfully take a range of photos with different camera angles and shots with the help of the media technician. At first we did have a little trouble with the lighting of the studio and took time to get the right camera angles and shot. The media technician helped us with the lightening of the studio and then we took individual pictures of each other. After a while, we had group pictures taken of us, again with the help of the media technician. We used both a black and white background to see what pictures we preferred on the different backgrounds and we took a variety of shots so that we have a range of pictures to choose from.

Equipment & Location Booking & Confirmation
These screenshots show confirmation for people of outside of school to come into the school and use the studio as we will be using 4 boys for our music video. We emailed our media teacher asking if she would be around to supervise when the boys come into the studio. Our media teacher replied she will be and that it was fine.
We then got permission and confirmed with the POST 16 office that people from outside of school are allowed to come into the school and use the studio for our music video. The POST 16 office emailed reception with the boys names, to make them aware that people from outside of school are coming in. The 4 boys will have to sign in and out at reception and will have to have a visitors pass.
We have also booked out our equipment which are the video camera and tripod and professional camera for the filming in the studio and we have also booked out the studio from 1.30 - 4.45 which was all sorted out with the media technicians.
Locations
These are photos of one of our three locations. This bedroom is one of the locations we will be using for one of our narrative scenes. The two other photos below are photos of the studio which we will be using for the performative scenes of our music video.
