Digipak

This is one of the pictures of our artist which we intended to use for the front of our digipak. We wanted to make the picture black and white and then have the lipstick red, as the red plays a big part in our video and is a main colour as it is bright and stands out. We tried to edit this on a windows computer but realised that it needs to be done on a Apple mac computer. We have chosen the font and style of the writing on our digipak, but we have a few ideas for the pictures which we have taken. Today i have been playing around with images for the front cover of the digipak whilst the others work on the inside, pull outs and the back cover. We chose to do a section of the digipak each, so that we have all worked equally as hard and have all had a part in which we are responsible for finishing. We chose images which are close up of the artist, as when we done research for our music genre, this is how the majority of the images were - the main artist up close to the camera.

Coursework editing

Today in my own time, i decided to do some more editing for our music video. I had a few difficulties but i overcome them by using the help tool on imovie which explained how to resolve the issues i had. Our coursework is now very nearly complete but we just need to add in few shots so that the video is exactly how we want it. Trying to line up the lip syncing with the music was hard, but we have only included a tiny bit as we didnt want it to be out of time.

Coursework

On Monday we done some more filming towards our music video. We edited some more of the video and realised that we needed more footage. We went to a field and a lake as these places are simple and fit in with the lyrics of the song as it is a 'hopeless place' and we also took some pictures which could be used on the digipak. We came across a few problems as one of the scenes needed to be of the artist laying down on the grass but the grass was wet, so we had to work around this and found a drier patch and filmed it there instead. Also we didn't have a tripod, so we had to use a microphone stand to help keep the camera as still as possible.

Today we managed to take some pictures of the artist for the front and back cover of the digipak. We also managed to get some more footage for our music video.

Testing Shots

Today we took numerous testing shots of tic tacs falling through the air to represent 'drugs' which will be show in our video. We took the shots from many angles to see which shot worked the best and then we chose the best one.
