The progress so far:

Around week 4 on a not so blessed Sunday we had a meeting and was planning to record some sunny beach scenes but instead was hit by a thunderous storm with winds hitting harder than 15 semi-trucks which didn't allow us to go outside let alone record a beach scene, but instead we tried some tryout shots of me and Jason with Angelo holding the camera and with Jo finishing of some unfinished media work in the back ground



Just to get things out of the way this is my take, Jo had some comments on it, He liked the way the hood fitted me and he also said that my expression was lacking, but good effort, Angelo said the hood was phenomenal and the face was ok. overall I think its a 7-8/10 performance.


This was Jason's 2 takes, for his first take his face was great the only problem is he doesn't look as good in the hood and I like how his face can just snap into the character's personality in an instant, as for his second take he looks like an actual depressed person as if his soul has left his eye balls and that he is an empty shell of his formal self.

Concept shots:

In week 5 we took a bunch of concept shot around 9 am in the school's field more specifically the school's grassy field, were we try to take a concept shot of the "MC playing football scene" 


And here is Jo taking pictures of us recording the "Football scene"










So the football scene was the 3rd scene in this music video made to show 

Update:

We did a little podcast shoot and here are some clips of that
We did a mini podcast in order to promote our social media, this is more like an interview with the artist named E/GO on his experiences with depression and drugs and how Ghost town saved him from it and made him get up in his feet.

Theories

  Theory Theorist Definition (60 words) Case Study (60 words) Media Ownership/Regulation - Mass media regulations are rules enforced by the jurisdiction of law. Guidelines for media use differ across the world. In the UK there is a TV broadcasting company named OFCOM that regulates all content in the British Broadcasting media. They cannot regulate the Tv show until it has been released and complained about by the people, after all that is done they will regulate the part that is being complained about in the TV show. There is also a Watershed period that lasts from 5:30 A.M - 10:00 P.M in which sensitive content cannot be aired.
