Goodbye

We have reached the end of my blog.
It was a long and stressful time, but it was shared with good friends and the outcome was fantastic. Thank you to my group members Antonia and Jessica for being so great.
Last but not least thank you to Rebecca for putting up with me!

Planning My Ancillary products: Digipak Mock Up

Below is my digipak. After showing a few people my draft drawings,  I have decided to change my front cover, I will keep the image to a mid close up but I will change the background as I don't think this colour will suit what the artist will wear and also it will be hard to create on Photoshop. I have opted to design a background on Photoshop and will use it consistently throughout my digipak and advertisement. I have made a final decision on what my artist will wear, she will dress in a hip hop 90's style of a white turtleneck and orange bomber jacket paired with hoop earrings which is our synergy (can be seen throughout music video). The back will have a minimalistic style, I will either put the tracklist in a square box with the same background design as the front or I will have each tracklist have an individual box with the same design in the back. I will have to make this decision when creating my actual product as I may find that it might not look aesthetically pleasing. Some people have suggested that i make my them a black and white one which will give a sense of 90's nostalgia, but mainly that my artist is of the R'n'B genre and is upcoming, also by making the filter black and white it will give a strong vibe of power and it will make the image clearer. I also found out that it is common for R'n'B artists to use a black and white them for their covers, especially when the album relates to struggle, love and relationships, which mine does. So I will also keep this idea in mind when producing my digipak. 

Planning My Ancillary products: Our Tracklist and Album name

Finished Music Video!

We have finally finished our music video!! Yayyy! Here is Antonia and Bernice signing our group off the checklist.

The end

Editing: Todays lesson 4 December

In todays lesson I made a prezi about editing and filters that we could put on our music video and how to make filters and adding effects such as fades.

Antonia edited the footage as the music video is due tomorrow so we need to make sure the video is done by this lesson or we're going to have to stay behind for lunch or stay after school today.

EXTRA FOOTAGE PART 2

EXTRA FOOTAGE PART 1

Rough Cut: Applying the Feedback

Now that we have gotten our feedback from our class and teacher, all being very positive and constructive. We have gone back and watched all our footages and decided that we will need extra footage, especially now that we are on the second chorus. So we will film tomorrow  party scene to illustrate the lyrics of 'getting pissed up with my new friends' and a scene where i sit in the conner in a darkened room with a semi bright spotlight that then fades away, this will be effective for us as we want to end our music video with this scene, so as the music fades/ends, light will fade out too.

Hopefully we can film both scenes tomorrow, if not then we will do the corner scene tomorrow and the party scene on monday.
