Introduction:
I chose the project because of my passion for the subject areas of film and media as well as the marine aquatic hobby. I have done various short films and projects in the past and also have always been interested in the biology and beauty of aquatic animals.
I found that this would be a perfect way to express my skills for later use in a portfolio when applying for further studies. I also thought that creating a documentry film would be a challange as I have not approached a task like this before.

I chose to create a magazine insert for a favorite marine hobbiest magazine 'marine habitat' as well, where I could present my video. This way I set my self a detailed brief and had a defined target audience.Then I thought it necessary to create a Ghant chart to track and view my progression as well as creating myself targets and goals to reach the deadline. I would present my work online, on blogger.com. I have used this in the past and found that I could use it both at school and at home without the worry of loosing my work or forgetting to bring it to school.

I started to research into critical thoery and analysed 'Communicating Ideas with film, video and multimedia' This book showed me Sheltons communication theory and gave me a grounding to base my content upon. I learnt the best ways to project my ideas and designed my video around these bearings.(explain specific elements of the theory that influenced my video)

I then researched various areas the i would need to know when making print work for a dvd like this. (magazine layout, CD packing, Marine species deatabase, Photoshop, conventions of magazine and buying the amrine habitat magazine.)

Then I looked into researh for a video of this type including various videos of using Adobe premiere, documentry filming, interviewing techniques, technical analysis, audeince research.
I started to plan what aspects I wanted in my video. I began thinking about the 'treatment' of my video which is an overall paragraph that summarises the content, as now i was able to gaina rough idea of what elements to include. I knew that i wanted it to be...

I then started to contact The london sea life centre...I explained what I wanted to do and then came across filming permissions and staff on holiday etc...When most was cleared I was able to send a list of questions to Matt Haworth as I had learnt to do this from a video I watched in research. I was cleared to start filming and a date was planned.

I then storyboarded the entire video and prepared for filming on the 13th of November. I bagan to draft and ararnge my magazine layout cover.To track my progress I took print screens and uploaded pictured of my sketches onto my blog.t haworth

Then came the process of filming. I arrived at 10am....filmed etc met matt haworth. How the filming went and what shots i got. The negative of way too much footage although this is good it takes ages to go through all the shots. Began editing the clips together on premiere cs5.5 and matching up audio and video, (this proved to be hard to match because of the two different angles). I used the blog to print screen my editing.
