Production

Here is the template Alisha chose:

As Alisha hasn’t replied to my email yet on whether she wants a title page, yet I went ahead and started to edit the template she chose. First, I started with changing the name to hers and the occupation to preforming arts, then if she does want the title page I will get a couple of pictures and play around with them to see which one she likes and looks better there.

I then started to do what I knew she wanted, which was an about, showreel and experience page. On the about page I changed the original button to experience and added a showreel button. Again, if she likes what I've done then I'll ask if she wants a picture there. Also, I need to ask what she would like me to put in the about section.  

I edited the page that linked form the experience button by deleting some of the section and leaving the important ones such as work experience and training. I will ask her for a list of her experience to put in that section and ask if she wants the about section there too.

The showreel button is linked to a page I added. On the page, I added the title to look like the other pages and added a text box in case she wanted to say something about the showreel, she has yet to say whether she wants either of these on separate pages or not.  

I asked her if she wanted to change the colour and font, she said she wanted the colour to be changed to a light pink, not too dark not to bright, so I changed it to a cherry blossom pink, which she said looked good, she then said she was fine with that font.

I asked my client to write a 1 or 2 paragraphs about herself, to put in the first about section on the main page and also on the experience page.

Feedback

The website, at the moment, looks too much like the template, so to change it and make it more unique, I need to contact my client more often and schedule meetings to ask her what she thinks so far and what she might wan to add or change.

To change the website so far I have changed the home page, by changing the colour of the menu at the top, like in my research the professional photography site was dark but still looked professional. I also changed the font in the middle, then the head shot that my client sent me tiled in the background as its too grainy so later I will take a better quality one, then I changed the opacity of the image so the text was more visible. The colour under the image was either none or pink I chose pink because it looked better to me.

Then I went down to the about section and changed it slightly, its still pretty similar though.

For there experience page I changed the font colour to match everything else and changed the box around the title, I then deleted a couple of the sections as I hadn't asked my client about them yet and thought we didn't need them anyway. After that I changed the background to match the preforming arts, when I go to take pictures of her I will get some of her to put in the background instead.

I did the same for the showreel page, I may change a few things once I have pictures so they look more different.

further more, on the gallery I deleted the place holders ready for when I get take the pictures.

On the 29^th of January I went and met up with Alisha in the preforming arts studio to record some of her dance routines, then on the 5^th we were planning to record her singing and some of her characters, but she was ill so for now I just have her dancing. On the 12^th we will go to record her singing and characters instead.

After loading them into premier pro I went through each clip and named them, then put them in bins. And made some additional bins for when I film more. The songs she danced to, I put in a bin as well.

Then I put the audio into the sequence, I started to sync up the footage. After that I cut the clips to make them shorter, so the dances wouldn’t go on for long.

 

I put graphic in that were the names of the songs she dances to. Then in between clips faded the music so it wasn’t an instant cut to the next song.

As the experience page would have just a list of her experience and the showreel page just a a video I decided to combine them.

If there was a smaller way of combining them then I would use it as the button looks long and it alot of words. 

As I started to look at the website more to me it made sense that the about would be with the experience and showreel so I could just put them all under about. Then have the home page as the title part.

I didn't like the look of the pages all being on different tabs and thought it would make sense to have them on the same page so I edited them back to the being on the same page, but trying to me as different as possible to the template and how I had changed it before.

The background moves with the scroll, so does the top picture but it stays at the top. the video plays when clicked and the sound can be muted when pressed to turn off. In the top menu there are the links to the anchors of the page. The pictures in the gallery are in a slide show layout and move from right to left then when the arrows are clicked it just does the same, moves onto the next picture. when the picture is clicked the picture will open up on the same page enlarged, there are also arrow buttons at the sides that can be pressed to see the other pictures with clicking off and clicking on them individuality. as you scroll down the small words and paragraphs slide in from the left, when Alisha sends me her info paragraph I will add the animation to that as well. I added at the bottom her performing arts Instagram page.
