Music Video

This is a version of our music video that we are pleased with but we want more feedback so we can make changes if we need to. We have posted the link to the video on Facebook so that we can get feedback from a lot of people and we've already had many comments. I'm really pleased that we managed to get it finished in time for the deadline and I really like the final result of our video and that we finally have an artist that makes the video what it is. The best thing about the music video has to be the powder paint fight which many people agree with.

Digipack and Poster development

I'm happy with the poster design, I may change one of the powder paint images to show more variety. However, I still want to work on my Digipack as I feel that I need another image of the artist.

Today we finished filming, after finding someone very reliable that could be our artist and also he was very convincing in his character. I can now finish my Digipack and Poster because we have finally found our artist. After editing the new parts of what we filmed we found that the new artist parts fit perfectly, and its all in sync.

We filmed a split screen of four people that were in the powder paint fight with a smear of powder paint on their faces so that it was leading up to the powder paint fight.

In this sequence, each person looks in the direction of the next person miming once they have finished their own line.

We have finally found someone reliable that will be the actual singer for our music video and will be filming him today.

Today we edited more of the video and added more to the powder paint fight by reversing some shots so that there were more effects in there.

We still have quite a few gaps but we plan to film all next week and we have planned it we just hope that the people we want to film will not be too busy. For the first three gaps we plan to have our "lead singer" miming to the words and then the last gap we want to split the screen into four, each person will sing a line and then look in the direction of the next person that will appear on the screen. I really hope that we're able to meet the deadline for next friday as we've got the filming to do and then the editing and then I will have to re-shoot for my Digipack, so I just hope that it all gets finished in time. We have cut the song down, as recommended by our teacher, which means that we still have the same amount of work to do but we have cut off a lot at the end.

We have edited the beginning of our video and we are really pleased with it as it really starts the concept off well (leads up to the powder paint fight).

I think it was filmed really well, we included lots of angles to make it seem more interesting and I think it  shows it leading up to the powder paint fight. Also, we only filmed her legs to add some mystery.

Digipack Progress...

This is my Digipack so far. However, now there are going to be changes to the music video and we will be getting rid of the band shots and using someone else to be the lead singer. So the front cover image and the image of the band destroying their instruments will have to be removed and changed. I think I will use more images from the powder paint fight.

This is my Digipack with a new image from the powder paint fight and so now all I need to do is get an image of the new lead singer and the rest of his band.

Today we went over the feedback from viewing our music video to the rest of the class and we also discussed it with our teacher. The conclusion that we all came to was to re-film many parts of the music video and remove the band shots and people that weren't in the powder paint fight and also the dance/party shots. We now need to film someone who would be the lead singer of the band, someone who would be just like Jarvis Cocker in Pulp's music video for common people as the whole band isn't in it. That person would be shown almost throughout the video to show they are the main and most important character. Also, we need to use the people from the powder paint fight throughout the video to show a lead up to the fight. 

This is all we have left after removing the shots that do not work. We are planning what we need to film for next week so that we can meet the deadline.
