Planned Filming

We plan to re film a few shots, were waiting on the opinion of our peers so we can all agree on a time. We have also agreed to film some shots on top of hill were we took the photos for the digipak. With those shots we will incorporate them with the shots we currently have involving the artist in the studio, this is to make the shots more interesting as those ends shots are the most boring as the camera is in a fixed position while filming and there all filmed in one location.

Editing 3

Once we had finished editing we uploaded the finished first draft. We straight away ran into some issues involving the end project, this includes it not working on all formats as well as on certain systems the colour correction is off resulting in scenes often being too dark. We learnt this quickly and decided to take it down and re-upload it.

Editing 2

Another issue we ran in was that we felt the shot in the party scene was to dark due to the fact that I was unaware of  a second plug however after putting some more shots in we felt that it looked good and wasn't dark enough to be intrusive. Ghanshyam began to play around colour correction which makes the shots look better and adds more saturation and contrast to the shots. We noticed that the colour correction didn't go with every shot so we played around with different filters and shots which we don't want to use a filter on.

Now that we have finished Ghanshyam has begun editing while the rest of us give our opinions on what may look good and what doesn't look good. The first struggle he ran into was lip syncing, this was due to the fact that it seemed that while singing, Jacob was listening to a different version of the song, another factor is that Jacob doesn't always pronounce the words well which leads to the song going out of sync fairly easily.

Filming 3

For the next shots we filmed the shots involving Jacob in a music studio as well as the shot of the love interest involved within the video. That shot was very easy as it only involves a panning shot of the girls face. The studio shot was much more difficult as it involved Jacob having to sing the entire song which would involve the editor to sync him up with song, what make it more difficult is the fact that its a close up so its very obvious if its out of sync.

Digipak Planning 9

After looking over the magazine advert, Sinead didnt like the look of it. She didnt like th fact that i distorted the main image of the digipak cover and made it very small so it wasnt the main focus point of the advert. She also didnt like the header of the advert "King J Debut Album" and would feel it to be more neccesary to have a logo as well as including social network links on the advert, alot like the panel i have done within the digipak that is speciofically for social networks.

Digipak Planning 8

I have now completed my magazine advert. With the magazine advert i am advertising King J's new album as well as having all of his social media so that it creates the artist more exposure. I have included a main image of the artist as well as a secondary image of all wall full of graffiti. With the background image i played around with the opacity so that it is more see through.

Digipak Planning 7

I have now finished the digipak and put it into one document. I have done this by making all of the sections a JPG and made a blank document that is able to fit all of the sections in. After placing it in i realised that the last two sections clash due to the fact that they have a black border. The next step is to make a spine as well as a magazine advert.

Music Video First Draft

This is the first attempt for our completed music video.


Photoshoot

As a group we went to the location we initially started to film and used it as a place to take photographs of the artist. We took a little of hundred photos around the area and experimented with camera angles as well as the scenery of the particular shot. We also went to a location that we found during our first filming which was a large hill with a scenery consisting of buildings in the background. From these photos we would choose the ones to use on the digipak, we also decided to not use the same ones for example all have the same photo as the cover.

Choosing A Font

These are a selection of fonts that I looked at before settling on 'Beyond The Mountains'.



I originally looked at font that I saw while listening to music, the word displayed in the font was 'Swaggy Tracks' but I later found out that its not from a font and the artists just made Swaggy Tracks look like that.


Audience Profile

This is the audience profile for our music video.
