Blog Task 22: Initial Ideas
Which sub-genre will you create?
As a group we decided to create a Youth Drama opening title sequence.
Initial plot/story line ideas: The idea was similar to that of 8 mile however with a bit of a twist. Two youths from an urban area who are aspiring rappers. One privileged young man with the equipment to be a success but not the drive, the other with the drive and passion but not the finances or equipment. The film takes us through their journey to try and reach stardom and prove to themselves and each other they deserve to make it.. The title sequence will introduce us to the two main characters and also the social groups in this film.
Character 'types': Two urban youths; one of them will be more serious however doesn't have the material things to be a success such as mixing desk. The other one is less serious however he comes from a privileged background.
Social Groups: The stereotypical social group in youth dramas tend to be 'gangs' however in our story line, we focus more on the 'serious' and 'fun' side of youths and not just young teenagers trying to get into trouble.

Blog Task 21: Blogging Health Check 1
My blogging work is currently a C (just below target) with 13/20.
My main improvements were to:
1. Increase and vary my use of ICT for presentation e.g. Prezi, Slideshare and emaze
2. Make posts as detailed as possible, especially group tasks which should show enough work for 3 people
3. Be consistent with posts and make each one just as strong

Blog Task 19: How to create sound tracks in Garageband
The first step to creating a soundtrack in Garageband is to begin a new project and select either of the options e.g. Loops, Acoustic Instrument or Piano.
Next is to save the project before starting any work, and ensure that you repeatedly save throughout the project.
Once you've saved the project, a blank grey window will pop up (as shown), allowing you to produce and create any type of soundtrack.
In the the top right hand corner, a wide variety of instruments and sounds are available to begin a soundtrack; you can add as many layers as you want underneath each other for a better effect.
Once you have chosen a sound/instrument you want to use, simply drag it to the open space and it will appear in the corner like below.
To make the sound last longer, drag it from the top right corner to the desired length.
You can change the tempo of the sounds, making it slower or faster by dragging the circle up or down.
If you wanted to add another instrument or sound, again simply drag it underneath the existing sound.
Tip: You can change the time when the sound fades in and out by changing the track volume.
Once you have finished creating a soundtrack, you will need to export the song to disk by selecting the 'share' tool at the top.
You will need to uncompress the song and export it to CD quality.
Save the song in it's new format.
After being exported to CD quality, the song will appear like this.
