2nd Draft of our video

All we need to add now is the final flashback scene near the end of the video and we both agree that come of the cuts need to match the beat more accurately.

Final DigiPak design

This is the final digipak design. We included all of our previously best designed covers. We used examples of other digipaks to help us and we think our final product includes enough detail. We would like some feedback on how you think we could improve it.

Inside Cover Final Design

For the inside cover we decided to keep it simple including the sponsor logo and details on the artist such as website addresses. We were going to use this as the back cover however we thought it looked to similar to the front cover, so we kept the back cover more simple. We think this works well as the inside cover and uses the same colours as the front cover design.

Final Back Cover Design

This is the final draft of the back cover. We decided that just a picture of the wall was better than the image of him on the bench which we changed to the inside cover. The text is easier to read and it matches the front cover more.

Final Choice for Front Cover of Digi Pak

We both decided for the front cover and back cover we preferred the version of the pictures with 40% higher contrast. We decided to put the album name in and made some final changes to the artist name.

Final Poster Design

This is the final poster design, I thought to add the company logos at the bottom to show our audience who is selling our product. Also making the text of the release date larger making it easier to see as it is important our audience knows when our product will be on sale.

Class Feedback from the First Draft

Our whole class watched the first draft of our music video. They had a few points on how we could improve it when it comes to our finishing it off. Some of these were:

• Timing at the beginning when the actor moves his head up to match the song
• Make some shots lighter as they are un clear
• First shot may be too long
• More cuts and edits
• More sense of story
• Use flashbacks to tell storyline
• Longer shots of london, some cuts are too quick

1st Draft of our video

We need to add all our flashback clips to tell the story of the video better at the moment it doesnt make much sence why the character seems depressed.

During Filming

We decided to film right next to The Embankment in the centre of London. We chose this location because of the well known attractions of London such as the London Eye, Big Ben, St.Pauls Cathedral and the skyline of London in general. Also, the lighting on the embankment was perfect for the mese en scene of our video, which is the dark and sinister look with ofcourse enough lighting for a clear shot.

However, we did encounter a problem, which was that we arrived in London far too early and it was not dark enough for us to film so we had to wait around 3 hours for it to become dark enough outside in order for us to film. Also, we had had a period of time of which we can film because we didn't want to take too long because it would of been too dark and therefore not give a clear image.

We were able to film during the time period but when we were looking there is one shot where the character is sitting down on the stairs of a monument which is one of the last shots we filmed and it is darker than we anticipated. So when we start editing we are planning to increase the contrast of the shot in order to bring it to the best we can but still not make it too light so it doesnt blend in with the rest of the video.

In conclusion I believe that our filming went very well with very few mistakes and problems of which we encountered.

Draft of Poster

For our poster design we decided to move the text down and make it smaller and leave the Artist name at the top. I think it looks more professional however the title of the album cover is quite hard to see; any comments regaurding this issue would be helpful. We also changed the contrast of the background to 40% to match the digi Pak cover style. I still think we need to insert the company logos at the bottom of the page to show our audience who is selling our product.
