Now that the practicle part of the coursework is done, we now have to do the evaluation part which involves four evaluation questions, two ancillary tasks: an digital pack consisting of an album cover, the two inside covers and back cover, and an advert advertising the album, along with a website presenting all of this.
Whilst doing the ancillary tasks and evaluation questions, it was necessary to continue to update my blog.

Final Day of Editing
On the final day of editing, we only had to edit the last chorus which was quite challenging, as the lighting wasn't too good whilst filming thus, it made it hard for us to synch the song with the footage. However, once this was done, we put the title and the artists name at the beginning of the music video to show that we correctly imposed the codes and conventions of real music videos.
In our next day of editing, we had to put together the final scene which was the scene with the prostituate and her client.
This scene in particularly, was very challenging as we did not want to show everything that we recorded with too much voyeurism that would limit our possible target audience, thus it was necessary to cut scenes out that would not be too suggestive but would keep the audience guessing what would happen next. To create this meaning, i used cutting and "cross dissolve" effect to blend each scene together. The use of blank flashes is very effective as it evokes the meaning that something is happening or is going to happen. At the end of this scene where the prostituate sits ontop of her client, me and Gemma decided to cut the part where she goes in for the kiss completely as the teacher felt that it was too suggestive and it would be more effective if we cut it out.

Day five of editing
wednesday the 2nd of December was our fith day of editing, and in this lesson, we had to get the clips that we used during the first chorus for the second part of the chorus as well. However, we decided to reverse the clip so all the transistions were backwards, this created an affect where everything she has to do to be this "prostitute" is a lot of work and she's finding it hard to come to terms with doing this job. We also put a clip of Rose standing in the middle of the road looking upset and down looking around, which we also speeded up the clip to make it look like she's in her own world very confused.

Editing day four
Wednesday 25th Novermber 2009
On the fourth day of editing, me and Gemma had to look for the singer singing the second verse of the song. We managed to find a clip where she sang that part of the song, however we then realised that when she sung the second sentence it was out of synch whereas the first sentence was. To fix this we decided to slow and speed up her singing, however this did not work. So we had to get another clip.

We also edited the clip of Rose behind the bar, which was a really good shot, and used it for the second part of the chorus. We also made the speed of this clip quicker which had an affective affect as it appeared as though, she was dancing behind the bar.
Day three of editing
Friday the 20th of Novermber 2009
On the third day of editing we managed to get all the clips we needed for the pre chorus where used quick shots of "rose" putting on her make up. The whole purpose of these shots was to introduce and imply to the audience that she is a seductive person. Once we cut down these quick clips we used a transition known as the "Cross dissolve", as a group we wanted this part of the music video to look like Britney's radar video with the quick flashes. however, on the mac, this effect was not available so we used cross dissolve as an replacement as it emphasised how busy her lifestyle was and also explains the narrative of the story.

Second day of editing
On friday 13th November 2009
On the second day of filming we bluetoothed the music onto the laptop, this helped us edit and synch the music with the lyrics. once we put the music onto the timelime we took a clip of "rose" walking down soho mainly focussing on her heels, which slowly introduces the character. We also took a clip of the singer singing the first verse and slowly managed to synch it with the actual music. Although this process was very difficult, me and Gemma finally managed to synch it so that it looks really realistic.
