Half term filming

Through out the week I have been filming and today hopefully I will have all the scenes that I need and will be editing the whole music video. Even though I have been filming I have also edited some of the scenes along the way so I clear idea idea on what I need to change on the scenes.

introduction of music video

I have filmed the introduction and I have been testing some transitions, video effects, like colour correction adding word effects, the word effect is basically another effect that allows the user to put any word in the video. With this effect I have just been experimenting ways in which I can place my name and the artist's name in the background and changing the colour of the actual footage.

First draft for the digi pack

Today I have been editing photos for the digi pack,for the digi pack I will be creating a magazine cover and a album cover. So far i have taken two separate pictures of me and the artist,I have been editing the images on adobe photo shop. The only issue is that both images are in different lighting so I will need to change the contrast or lighting of one image to be the same as the other image so it will look the same.



This is what I have got so far for either the album cover or the magazine cover, the only problem with this is that there is no background to the image, I could either have a white background with another graphic image. With this image I have taken one image and moved it with another and cleared the background so it has become a plain white background, i still feel that there can be room for improvement because so far it just looks to plain.

filming the chorus

For the past week we have filmed the chorus of the song I have filmed two scenes in different locations of for the chorus, I still need to film some more locations and camera shots. The camera shots I have taken so far within the chorus is mid shots, close ups two shot and long shots.

Intro of music video

Yesterday I finished filming the introduction of the music video, now I need to start editing the introduction with transitions,now on Thursday I will be filming the main part of the song. I will also take some photos for the the magazine cover and CD cover.

example of album covers

these are some ideas of which could be used to design the album cover, each design is different but still represents the genre and background of the artist. An example of this is the album cover of T.I vs T.I.P, the artist is in a suit behind a desk with his feet up and having a drink in one hand showing the "gangster side" of the character. This album cover in particular gives a different way of thinking about the artist, which I may use this idea in creating the CD cover.

Weekend filming

Saturday I had a practice filming checking the different camera angles and shots. Sunday I did not get a chance to film because of the weather, so I have to consider some different locations for the changes in weather, need to think about having some scenes inside.

I will be filming tommorrow and hopefully finish the introduction to the music video tommorrow.

plan

Saturday and Sunday I will be filming the introduction scene which is roughly fourteen seconds, main bit of the song and the last few scenes of the video. After the filiming I will be designing the magazine cover and CD cover, the magazine design and CD covers first draft will hopefully be done by the end of the weekend.

This still image of one location will be used as an establishing shot of one of the characters, from the the establishing the camera will go into either a long shot or a mid shot.
