6th January 2011
I was ill again today so Lizzie and Amanda decided to start filming the audience feedback. They asked people to come and watch our video and then asked them to answer some questions from our questionnaire. By asking our peers we knew we would get honest feedback and as our video was targeted at teenagers and young adults they would be perfect. They asked the 10 questions from the questionnaire to a variety of people so we had a range of answers. They then captured the footage on the editing suite ready to edit tomorrow.

Today I was ill, so Lizzie and Amanda discussed the evaluation questions and decided how we were going to present them. They looked on Pete's Media Blog for inspiration on ideas of how to present our evaluation and found some good suggestions.

Session 54
4th January 2011:
Today was our first day back from the Christmas holidays, so we continued to work on the evaluation process. We worked on the spreadsheet that we had created to store and compare the different responses to the questions that we had asked our target audience. This took quite a while as we had to sort all of the responses into different piles. We then carried on with work on our blogs.

Session 53
10th December:
Today we tried desperately to upload the video to Vimeo, however the site was not working properly on that particular computer, and neither was the USB drive, so we couldn't even transfer the video to a properly functionning computer. Therefore we have learnt that we should test that a computer is in full use before we store the whole video on it. We will try again next week, and if not we will get the help of the school technician.

9th December:
Today Amanda returned from her Uni visit, and we asked Miss Brookes to show us the faults in our video again. We quickly adjusted these, and then began to render the video and attempted to put it onto YouTube, however as it was a popular video it was refused. We will therefore try again to upload the finished video!

8th December:
Today Amanda was away on a University Visit, so Lizzie and myself decided to make the merchandise for our band using our final album cover. We made a teddy, a bag, a mug and a hoodie. These are all up on our MySpace and Facebook. We also had Miss Brookes look at our video and she gave us some advice as how to improve our video.

7th December:
Today we had a double lesson, so we decided to upload the final album cover to the blog, and we also decided that we wanted to have a completely different picture for the back of the album. As it was a relatively nice day, and there was still a bit of snow around we thought that we would go onto the field and take some photos of Me. We got some of me running through the field and also on a tree. We took these back to the room and had a look through them and decided which one we wanted to use.

Session 46
29th November:
Today we got all of our band together and began to shoot the photos for our DigiPak. We had a few issues with the filming, such as that George had to go to the orthadontist, and also that Peter could only do mondays because he works the rest of the week. We also filmed the rest of our shots of the band. We decided to have them singing in some of them, and in the others to just have them being friendly around each other. These had to be filmed quickly, as in November it gets dark very quickly, so we had to be very quick about it. Overall, we were happy with the shots.

Session 45
29th November:
Lizzie made the design for the actual CD within our DigiPak, and uploaded it, and also did some work on the blog. I worked on the Myspace and updated our statuses. Amanda edited the shots that she took at the weekend as she was not happy with certain shots. She took out the external shots from the shoot at Billy's house, as the continuity of the colour did not match the other red tones in the scenes at his house. It was too dark, and therefore the quality was lost. We decided to replace these shots with more of the band 'bonding'. Amanda also made a shot list for tonight, and charged the camcorder.

26th November:
Amanda captured all of the footage from the bus stop scenes that we filmed yesterday. They were all pretty good, so she felt that we have improved with our filming and time keeping skills as we all managed to get it all done in 10 minutes. As always, we had more footage than we needed, so we sifted through to find what would fit in with the end of the video and placed it where we thought it should go. Amanda finished editing and Matt and Lizzie continued to promote the band through MySpace and Facebook, and to edit both of these pages.

25th November
Today Lizzie finished off the planning for the digipack and put it on the blog. Me and Amanda spent most of the lesson trying to figure out how to make the banner fit on the MySpace page. Eventually we managed to find away to make the banner bigger on the myspace finally and updated the facebook and twitter pages. This was one of our technical faults that we had to overcome.

Session 35
11th November:
We discussed changing a few shots that we had planned as we felt that it would fit the song better in certain parts such as when the verse begins, a shot of me singing the opening line of the song will provide a bigger impact that we want to make with our video, and also at the beginning of the 3rd chorus. Me and Lizzie also done some editting.
