The last shots we had to film were the wide shots these were slightly difficult as they are full body shots as we were filming in a small classroom, which made it hard to film without showing what was behind the green screen. We over came this problem by filming the shots in two separate parts which we will put together in the editing stage of our preliminary task.

We looked at James Franco and Seth Rogans comical recreation of Kanye West- Bound 2 video as the accuracy of the shots was incredibly precise and this inspired us to follow the Snoop Dogg video as closely as possible.
Shot by Shot Storyboard- Drop It Like It's Hot
When the pimp's in the crib, ma
(Drop it like it's hot, drop it like it's hot, drop it like it's hot)When the pigs try to get at you
(Park it like it's hot, park it like it's hot, park it like it's hot)
And if a nigga get a attitude
(Pop it like it's hot, pop it like it's hot, pop it like it's hot)
I got the Rolly on my arm and I'm pouring Chandon
And I roll the best weed cause I got it going on
I'm a nice dude, with some nice dreams
See these ice cubes? See these Ice Creams?
Eligible bachelor, million dollar boat
That's whiter than what's spilling down your throat
(Drop it like it's hot, drop it like it's hot, drop it like it's hot)When the pigs try to get at you

Preliminary Task; Initial Planning
In today's lesson, we discussed and decided on the music video that we were planning to impersonate for our preliminary task.
A few of the options we discussed included #Selfie by The Chainsmokers and Pompeii by Bastille. We decided against these songs as the #Selfie video included a lot of people and a huge amount of shots which would be difficult to replicate in the short amount of time we have to produce a preliminary task.
In the case of Pompeii by bastille, we decided against it as there was not a large amount of lip syncing in the video and therefore replicating this would defeat the purpose of the preliminary task.
Our final decision was to use the song Drop It Like It's Hot by Snoop Dogg and Pharrell Williams. We made this decision as the video would be simple to recreate but also exhibits numerous different shots and filming techniques.

Using conventions
Definition
The expected ingredients in a particular type of media text- usually associated with genre.

Representation
Definition
Students of media are taught that media texts do not present a neutral, transparent view of reality, but offer instead a mediated re-representation of it. The processes by which audience members come to understand media texts in terms of how they seem to relate to people, ideas, event, themes and places. This is a very complex idea, as the reader of the media text will play an active role in constructing these meanings him/herself. At its most simple, it is how media texts are understandable.

Audiences
Definition
A collective group of people reading any media text. Digital technology has led to increasing uncertainty over how we define an audience, with general agreement that the notion of a large group of people, brought together by time, responding to a single text, is outdated and that now audiences are 'fragmented'.

Post-production
- work done on a film or recording after filming or recording has taken place."post-production editing"
Media Language
Definition
An umbrella term to describe the ways in which audiences read media texts through understanding formal and conventional structures (e.g. the grammar of film editing). Media literacy describes our ability to read and write in this extended sense of language.
