Editing- 13th February 2014

Today we started editing. We looked over all the footage we have previously shot and we have found some really good shots. There are some things that we have found we will need to shoot again due to the lighting not being very good or things getting in the way of the shot.
We are going to re- film these shots next week.

Font Tests

I have started testing out different Fonts that I can use on my Digi- Pak front cover. This is useful for me to test out because I can now ask my peers what they think of the 4 designs and which one would work best.

Filming Day 3- 5th February 2014

Today we re- filmed the shots in the Drama studio using the lights but this time with adding the smoke machine. The smoke machine created some really good effects when filming and made the shots look much more realistic.

Digi- Pak Research

Albums are an important part of increasing sales in the music industry. Although due to the quicker and easier way to download music, through internet downloads, album sales have decreased in the last 5 years rapidly. Digi- Paks are a good way to show pictures of the artist and the lyrics of the songs within the album. Digi- Paks can also be viewed on iTunes when downloading music. Digi- Paks are good as it allows the buyer to feel more connected to the artist by being able to see the pictures and read the lyric sheets.

Filming Day 2- 18th December 2013

Today we continued to film. We started to get some really good shots to fit in the music video. We tried out different shots such as close- ups and long shots.
We also tested out some shots with different spotlights which looked really good when we played them back.

Filming Day 1- 4th December 2013

Today we started filming our music video. We used the drama studio in school where they have the big spotlights in order to make the music video more realistic. We have some decent shots of our singer and the progress is coming along.

Planning for Preparing to Film

This week we spoke about the planning for the week ahead and for the filming. We have decided that our storyboard will be finished by the end of the week (Friday 22nd November).

Another task we need to complete is the location pictures. This will be done by the end of next week so by the 29th November.

We have also decided that we will start shooting our music video in 2 weeks time which will be on the week beginning 2nd of December. We have given ourselves 2-3 weeks to film which will lead us up to the 20th December. In order to make sure we have all the equipment we need we will need to make sure that we have given ourselves enough time to book the equipment such as the smoke machine so this will all have to be booked by the 25th November.
