PRODUCING DIGIPACK

Back Cover

 

 

We added a barcode, the website and the songs name, all the text are the same font so it relates to the front cover and the advert, the text is white so it can stand out from the image.  

 

We added more song names as most singles offer more then one song like a remix. We changed the colour of the text as some of the text couldnt be seen as some parts of the image is bright, therefore we changed the colour of the text to black. However we didnt change the colour of the website so the audience can know thats the artist website.

 

Final

 

 

We changed the size of the text so the background image can be seen too. We also aligned  the text to the centre of the backcover as thats the main focus.

 

PRODUCING DIGIPACK

 

 

Advert

 

We added the same house style as the digi pack, the text is the same and the colour scheme. For the artist name we used the same layout at the digipack so the audience will know that they connect. The the songs name is positioned on the same place as the album too. The text is black so it can stand out from the image as the image is light. We added the release date of the song beneath the songs name which is smalled then the name. The website is at the bottom in white text so its different to the other texts.

 

We made a few changes to the final product. We added a black banner at the bottom on the advert so the white text of the website's name can be seen clearer for the audience.

 

Final

 

 

 We dragged the tha banner so it looks more professional as most websites are places at the bottom of the advert.

PRODUCING DIGIPACK

 

 

This is the inside left of our digipack, we made the image dark to relate the negative emotions of our video. We added text so when the audience takes the CD out of the package they see Florence's name and the songs name. We made the next white so it can stand out from the background.

 

We made slight changes to the inside right, such as making the image even darker and adding red tones to it as this represents the negative side of her emotions more. We added dark edges to make the leaves the key point, as this is part of our music video location. We took the text out as we want the CD to blend with the inside right.

DIGIPACK PLANNING

Today we started to plan our design and for out CD and the advertisement

On a plane paper we sketch out: 

• Front cover
• Back cover
• Right side
• The CD/ center
• Left side
• The poster

To link the music video and the digipack together we decided that it would be best if we used the same location as it would link the audience to it.

 

CLASS FEEDBACK

In today's lesson we had to watch each other's video in order to get general feed back which later on will help us with our evaluation and things such as what could be improved on

 

Positives:

• The lip syncing was good
• It suited the style we wanted to go for (Florence and the Machine) Indie
• The performance of our actress 
• The special effect used throughout the video 
• The costume change from (white to black)

Negatives

 

• Because the song is named "howl" and would represent a night theme, the class thought it would of been best if it was shot at night but unfortunately we did not have the lighting equipment and also we would need a supervisor because of the expensive equipment we had and it's dark.
  
  
  
  

FINAL VIDEO

EDITING

Today we started editing our music video using the Final Cut Program 

1. We first sorted out what clips were needed or deleted.
2. Started re-naming them in which order we would edit them. 
3. Which clips would need special effect if the lip syncing wasn't perfect.
4. The we've discussed on which person would be doing what task for example: adding special effect, getting the clip and song right in order to get the lip syncing right ect. 

FILMING - PART 1

• Today we started filming our first part of the music video and because we've change actresses due to inconvenient times to shoot, we ran out of time as it was getting dark. 
• A few things were messing which we were planing to add into our music video for example the red contacts, but we've all agreed once we start editing that we would add an effect to show the angry emotion 
• Also we were able to improvise with the dress change (white to back) which was the theme from being all innocent into the white dress then showing how our actress change to the black one which darker make up.

Recce - updating

Location: Epping Forest

By visiting our chosen location for our music video, it made it so much easier for us to understand where our main character would be standing and using in parts of the location. By visiting the park it gave a really clear vision of where and what exactly our character would be doing and what special effect would be appropriate to use at certain places at the park. The images below and on the right are where our main character will be standing and syncing, we decided to use this in a part of our music video because this is going to take place in one of the pre choruses of the song of ‘Remember When’.

Here we are also going to have the actress sit down on the long looking upset on her own, this is to connote that she is on her own, that’s why we decided to use an isolated location for different parts of our music video. When looking at our location we found an appropriate place where our two characters would have a flashback because in the lyrics it is stated that “If only you could only see the beast you've made of me, I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free” we thought that this old dead tree would be suitable for the theme we are going for our music video. This is sort of an isolated place where after the flashback our main actress will be reminiscing the old days (flack back) looking upset.

Throughout the music video our actress will be walking through the woods, we figured out how these place places would be perfect for our fast-forwarded effect, focus and blur effect and extreme close up on our actress face to show her emotions.

TEAM MEETING

During our meeting we've discussed 

• where we will the appropriate location for us to meet in order to film. 
• We also where trying to figure out which equipment we would need to bring with us since we are styling our actress ourselves.
• We have come up that we needed to bring our props as in dress, red contacts, make-up, hair styling ect. 
• We would also bring spare batteries in case our camera batteries run out.
