Editing the Title Sequence
Today, I have been editing the title sequence and it is hard work!
Our music starts of fast but with no beat, and then a few seconds into it, the beat drops and the music becomes very upbeat. So I had to make sure the shots complemented the music to make it flow.
For the beginning part I would like to have slower shots and establishing shots, establishing what our news channel is about and what news we present. I want a montage of shots building up to the beat dropping which is the climax of our title sequence. This is what many news title sequences do, as they build up to the climax with a montage of various shots.
When the beat drops, I want a significant visual to go along with it to really impact the viewer.
After the beat drops, I want much faster shots of things very specifically associated with music, like we got a shot of a DJ so I hope to fit that in somewhere.
This is just my brief plan, I have to see how well our footage works with the music!

FILMING
Today we went to Camden to film and we got some good shots!
We started off by going around Camden and finding some inspiration. Every time we walked by anything to do with music we tried to film it.
There were some issues with people not wanting us to film their stalls and shops, so we couldn't get some shots that we really wanted!
We filmed shots of t-shirts with music artists on it, panning and tilting shots of headphones and shots of the general people walking.
We wanted to make our vox pops targeted towards our target audience which is teenagers and young adults interested in music, so we wanted to film teenagers to talk to. However, we could not find that many teenagers on the road who were willing to be filmed and participate. This made it very difficult for us but we perserved! We tried to find many people and ended up persuading a couple of people to be interviewed.

Location
We have a variety of locations we would like to film at. We want to film our vox pops at different places to get diverse and varied opinions and to limit bias.
For our recording studio scene we have many locations we have to choose from and here are some examples:
Harrow Open Studios:
We chose this because it is easy to get to and it is a community studio
Roundhouse Studios:
For our vox pops, we are deciding to film in Camden because when we went there to film our title sequence, we realised that there are many teenagers and young people there. As they are our target audience we thought it best to get their opinion on our story.

This is a more professional.

New Logo
We all agreed that our current logo wasn't suitable as it had low quality and in general; it wasn't easy to manipulate, so I decided to generate a new logo via a logo generator website that I've used previously. To be honest, it didn't take too long, and it was much easier to create using the website than Photoshop. I couldn't really find a font similar to the one we have currently but the team felt the new logo was perfectly fine. This is it:
We all felt this is right for the new logo, so I've scrapped the other one; I added our Earmunch monster on top of the logo the incorporate our brand image:
This is the final logo, despite all the other times we've said "This is our final logo".. THIS.. THIS is the final logo. Now we just need to put it on our blog, website and opening sequence.
