Skinheads
In the other side of media, we are currently learning about youth culture and collective identity. One subculture that has been identified through analysing films are 'Skinheads'.

Editing- 5
Today, I managed to complete my final production. I changed the colours to grey scale and added in the typical convention of titles and the start and end of my music video. I am happy with how my production has gone, right from through the planning and editing stages. I have converted it to QuickTime and Youtube and shall be up on my blog shortly!

Editing- 4
I am still continuing to edit my production together. Today I started on editing the first few scenes together. At the moment I am unsure on this and am preferring the ending of my production. I have around 40 seconds of my production to complete now.

BBFC Ratings
To make my DVD Cover look as real as possible, I must rate my music video according to the BBFC guidelines. I decided to rate my video as a U. I decided this because my video does not contain any violence, swearing, drugs, alcohol, it simply follows a girl on her journey.

Editing- 2
Today, I managed to complete a minute and a half of editing in a double lesson. I also added in my soundtrack which helps make it easier to edit to. I decided to start with the end of the song first, as I wanted to get this right because I feel that the end of the song has the biggest impact and its when it really starts to go into itself.

Research into Similar Products- DVD Covers
I have created a power point looking at two different DVD covers. I have looked for similarities and differences of the typical conventions you would expect to see between them both in hope that these will give me guidance as to what to include on my own DVD cover.
