Progress Report - 29th November

Today we made the advert for our digipak, we kept the same black and white with yellow highlights, we used silhouettes of the band members we did this by using photoshop brushes then underneath we used the band members signatures. We used the HMV logo in the bottom right so that audiences will know where to buy the digipak album. We managed to create the digipak in two hours as we all contributed different parts meaning we were all happy with the outcome of it.

On our final day of editing we completed all of the work on the music video, matching all colours for the correct scenes and we are now happy with the order and think we have used the conventions we wanted to use. We also started the digipak we used photoshop to create six black 15cmx 15cm slides, we then places a flair design brush in opposing corners in each slide before layering a yellow haze on each slide. Then we chose to use orator std for our font throughout the whole of our digipak, we changed the size and colour depending on what we were using it for, we used yellow font for the track list and album name, but white for the band name and a gold for the bio. We also used the photos we had previously taken to make a photo page which will give more to the audience.

Today we finished the two animations, and placed them in the music video, we added the vignette around the animations showing the past. But we felt we needed to add another animation to match the story of the music video, so we made one where Mike's animated character steals Louise's animated character, we struggled with the 90 degree rotation of Louise as we needed a new centre point for each move of her character. After we done this we had finished all the animations and could continue editing the music video.

We filmed Tommy again today, we used black paper which we tore up to make black confetti which we then let fall over Tommy, we thought this would give a nice contrast with the white background and will keep the audience entertained as they will not expect that confetti will fall. We then uploaded the clips and changed the colours to black and white and lowered the saturation to make the blacks more vivid so that they stand out.

As we needed to film more shots, we filmed Tommy our lead singer in front of a white background, we managed to get some nice panning shots across Tommy's face, bringing him in and out of focus, and we got two shots of him singing the whole song.

Today we decided to do most of our editing, and making sure that the gaps we have filled are properly edited with the correct colouring, to represent the past relationships we are using black and white with a vignette haze around the clip which will mean the audience will be able to decode that it is a past relationship. Today we also realised that we needed more footage of our lead singer.

Progress Report - 8th November

In today's session, we were adding clips to gaps to fill out the music video, but we had to make sure all the clips were in the right place meaning that the sequence would again make sense. As well as filling in the gaps we changed the colour of some of our clips, to give the colours more depth and to create a nice contrast.

Progress Report - 4th November

Today we continued with the animation, as each 4 second animation will take about 30 minutes of editing, we also had to work out where the animation was going to fit in with our music video as the sequence has to make sense which will allow the audience to decode the animation and its meaning.

Progress Report - 2nd November

Today we continued to edit the animation as we plan to have three little animations, the problem we have when making the animation, is that we have to render each animation to see if it works. We also uploaded the scenery part of our animation, this included the clouds, grass and sky we used this to show the emotions of the characters and that their relationship is out of the quotidian.
