Filming - 25/01/16

Tomorrow my group and I are going to be filming parts of our music video. We will be filming the projections in our music video tomorrow. For the equipment we used a white back drop which can be seen below: 

We also used a Canon camera and a tripod to film these parts in our music video. Regarding setting, this part of our music video was filmed at one of our group members house as Paru had access to the white back drop. On this particular day we were filming our performance shots and decided to film one long take of Sophie singing the song so we are able to edit this footage into our final cut of our music video. 

Final draft of poster

This is the final draft of my poster and once receiving feedback from my class I added the front cover of my CD, the social links and the debut single. 

Final draft of digipak

This is my final draft of my digipak. After the feedback I received from my class I changed my digipak massively. 

Change of narrative-

Once we presented our music video idea to our class we decided to change up the idea of our narrative. As the song is titled 'I Do' we wanted to go along with the narrative of a wedding and have clips of our main character getting ready for the wedding with her bridesmaids. But this won't be a conventional wedding as she doesn't want to get married which will be portrayed in some of the shots that we use. The whole narrative of our music video will build up until it is too much for the bride and she runs away to be with her lover.

My group and I want our music video to be filmed on a super 8 camera as the retro look gives it a unique feel. As my group and I don't own a super 8 camera we are planning to edit the footage we have in after effects and using a software called final cut pro so it has the same effect. Our performer is going to be appearing in both our narrative and performance shots, so I think having the super 8 effect will help our target audience understand the difference between the two.

Style of narrative-

Below is a mixture of pictures that are similar to what we want our music video to look like as we are planning on using after effects to make our footage look like super 8. 

Second photoshoot-

Yesterday my group and I shot some more pictures for our digipak and our posters. Below are the pictures that I took:

I know that for most of them, the lighting isn't the best so on photoshop I will try to adjust the lighting but in some of the pictures I will keep the dark lighting because it conveys what I want to portray in my digipak. 

Digipak feedback

Last week I showed the first draft of my digipak and I got feedback from the whole class including my teacher. Below are some of the feedback sheets that I received. 

Many people thought that my digipak had the same pictures on it and they thought I should have some variety so I am going to use some of the pictures that I took the other day as I used different projections. Some people thought that the pictures I used for my digipak, it was clear that they were projections however, with the other photos it didn't look like that so I am going to use that kind of look if I want to take pictures in the future.
