I have gone away and done some practice footage of my advert. So far i have only filmed a quarter of it as it is quite hard to film and very time consuming. I also have to be careful of the light and what times of the day i do it because if it is all different tones of light then it wont look very professional, and as a result it could make or break wether it is good or not.
As a result of this practice filming it has allowed me to remeber how important some thing are, such as what background you have, as this could completely change the mood/feel to something and make it look good or not, and other things such as how important it is to have the tripod, making sure that everything stays in the exact same place so that the advert isnt looking like it is all wobbly. It is also important to make sure you have a suitable set up for your advert because as mine is a stop frame with sweets i want it to be a flat surface, somewhere where i know it wont be touched by others, and somewhere i or nobody else can knock it accidently.

Product Logo
First draft i have drawn of what my logo will look like.
This is my final logo for my product's brand name. I have kept it simple and kept the colour's the same as the colour's of the sweets.

Notes on Storyboard
Shots:
I have had a though about my advert and how im going to make it. As it is a stop frame on skittles, there is not much of a variety in terms of camera angles and shots that i could actually do. I will but placing the camera on a tri pod with the camera facing down so that i can do my stop frame sucessfully.
Lighting:
I will need to make sure i do this under my room light so that it is well lit and stays the same light the whole way through, because if i do this by a window, as time goes on the lighting will get darker and darker and it wont look good. I could also set up lamps around this to keep a steadt light the whole way though and make sure that it looks proffesional.
Any other notes:
I will be using a white double bed sheet for my background on doing the skittles as it is big and has a constant background.
I will need to be carefull of not moving the skittles whilst filming by accident or putting them in the wrong place as this could ruin my advert, and would be noticable and not look good.

My Storyboard
This is my rough copy of my storyboard. I have come up with various positions for my sweet brand to go into and also planned out what colour goes where. This also helps me so that when i come to filming i know exactly what im filming, and what is going where, so i dont delay time by trying to make something up on the spot.

My Presentation
This is my presentation to show how i have developed from the start of A2 media and to show what exactly i have done well and what i have struggled with. I have also shown my progression and how my research has helped me with this. I have also gone over how i am going to keep myself organized so i dont get confused and pace my work, and creating a to do list has helped me with this. Finally i have mentioned about any problems i have had and how i have overcome them, so that if i get any more problems i could know how to overcome them.
