DigiPak Second Draft

Advert Third Draft

Sixth Editing Session

With the new shots I had captured I had to now work on adding these to what I have already been using in the construction of the music video. I wanted to make sure I kept the shots I was happy with the first time but made sure I added the new stuff I have filmed as I aimed to make these better, for example adding the new lip syncing parts I filmed. I used some of the new shots of the two actors together to show their relationship in the past, most importantly I editing together a selection of shots inside a house as I wanted this particular sequence of shots to be included so it adds depth to the characters relationship and also adds a different location to the music video.

During the next edition session I will work on adding transitions and effects which will make the video more entertaining and have a more professional finish. I am also hoping to superimpose some images of the male singer and the female actor as I want to represent a dream through the use of editing.

Second Filming Day

Yesterday I filmed with the main male actor and the female actor. Although I had captured enough film to produce a first draft of the music video I felt that some shots weren't very effective e.g. the lighting at certain points of the video. I thought a change of location would make the video more interesting, for this reason I picked another wooded area in Fleet to film at. I also filmed a scene inside a house so the story I am trying to tell seems more realistic as it takes part in the home of one the actors.This mixture of locations adds more depth the the video but also makes it more entertaining.

Things that went well:

• The lip syncing went better as the male actor is now more familiar with the song so it took less takes to capture an effective shot of the actor singing.
• Some of the lighting looks really romantic and effective for the story.
• We managed to capture everything needed in a much quicker time, this is partly down to the race for sunlight at this time of the year but also because everyone worked far more as a team.

Things that I could improve on:

• Not wasting time shooting in the dark, although I did manage to get some effective shots in the dark by using alternative lighting on the actor, time was wasted by sometimes filming useless shots in the dark.
• Making it clear to the actors of the particular show I wished to capture. At some points where the shots were more spontaneously captured it took a while for the actors to understand what I wanted them to do.

Change To The Artist Name

I feel because Bombay Bicycle Club is the name of the actual band whose song I am using and I am only showing one singer in my video, it will be best to change the name to a single mans name to promote the individual artist. 

For this reason I am going to change the artists name to: Gabriel Walker. I have also used a different font, colours and effects to style the name in a more eye catching way and I feel it looks far more effective than the previous way I have styled the artists name.

DigiPak designs

I am going to take the pictures for my DigiPak tomorrow so I wanted to plan some ideas of the types of images I am planning to capture. Planning these shots has helped me to get a basic idea of what shots will look good, what props I will need e.g. a guitar and also what location will be best to shoot these images at.

Lauren, this is a better draft of the advert. Still not sure that the green font works. Also, look at the overall layout and what is given significance as we look at it. Go back to some RMA's.
