Experimenting With Instagram

For this post, I will be explaining and uploading the photos in which we have taken as a group. The photos have been edited with Instagram; and stylistically we like the different effects in which are available; therefore we are definitely considering implementing Instagram shots within our music video.

Google Calendar For The Month Of December


The image above is a screenshot of the Google Calendar in which I personally have created for the benefit of my group.

What does the calendar include?

The calendar in which I have created has specific dates in the month of December in which my group will be utilising.
As it is aware on the calendar, this month we will be doing and completing the following:
  • Wednesday 5th December 2012 -  This day has now passed; however my group and I completed blog work on Wednesday during our Media lesson. I in particular posted information about our record label 'Rough Trade'.
  • Monday 10th December 2012 - On this coming Monday, I particularly will be addng to my blog, but most importantly at 15:00, as a group we will be contacting the Music department and requesting perimission for use of instruments.
  • Wednesday 12th December 2012 - This is an important date for us as a group, simply because we have agreed that this day shall be our first rehearsal in regards to the performanvce based element of our music video project.
  • Friday 14th December 2012 - On this Friday, at 10:30 we would like to start shooting for our digi pack part of our project. In order for this to go ahead, we will need to arrange resources, like camera equipment, lighting, costume and make-up.
  • Friday 21st December 2012 - On Friday 21st December, we would like to do another rehearsal for our music video; however with this rehearsal, a dress rehearsal is in progression.

Changes to our Calendar - Monday 17th December 2012:

As a group, we have all agreed that changes are needed to our scheduled calendar, so that everyone in the group is able to attend and that everything is convenient for us.

Wednesday 5th December:
This date was successful as we all worked on blog work and the planning and preparation for our music video.

Monday 10th December:
It has been exactly one week since this date has passed; and as a group we did not get in touch with the music department as everyone was busy; however I feel that this isn't crucially important as the music department have previously said that loaning out the instruments isn' a problem; therefore when it comes to rehearsals, we will contact the music department in advance on this occasion.

Wednesday 12th December:
As a group, we all felt that this day to rehearse was rather tricky simply because group members had other commitments and the location and instruments were not taken out due to this.

Friday 14th December:
On Friday, as a group we were not prepared to shoot for our digi packs simply because costumes were not ready for Friday.
