Digipak and Advert

Today we completed our final digipak and our advert to support this. The digipak is much the same as the first two slides, showing our actor in colour with the background in black and white,this is also the same within our advert, making it easy to relate tot he both.Now that the advert and digipak are finished we can finish up tweeking the small elemnts of our video that need to be amended.

Digipak Design

We have decided that for our digipak we are going to go with the idea of balck and white with certain elements of the image in colour, so far we have out first and second panels completed. We decided to use the desgin that we drew up a few weeks ago as our front cover as it goes well with the theme and the song. We have also completed our second panel within the digipak which shows Jack, our actor in a low angle shot,whith writing around him talking about his success' and what he has achieved.

How much footage?

I thought i would show you how much footage that we have filmed, and how much has been used within our video, to start to get us to our final product. We have finished filming now and want to focus on getting all of the digipak and advert work finished and reviewed, as well as finishing the final edit completely.

Ending Overhaul (cont.)

Today we added in the lip syncing to break up our ending montage. This worked well, and we used our close ups from the emergency filming in order to complete this. I feel that the ending now works well and fits in with the rest of the video.

Our finished ending.

Ending Overhaul

After looking at our first ending montage, we felt that it was to slow and too long. I spent a few hours selecting various clips and shortening them to a reasonable size, and adding cross disolves in order to make them flow much better, now that this has been completed I feel that we need to get some more shots to break up flow of the ending as this does still go on for quite a while.

This shows a small section of the ending, as you can see the shots are small with cross dissolves. Although they look big here, they are definately not when you see the whole editing process.

Emergency Filming!!!

We had to get some final shots today to fill some small gaps, these shots were simple close ups and extreme close ups, now, we have finished our filming completely and are focusing on the final edit to make it as good as possible!

Filming Today

Today, Tuesday 8th November, we got our final shots for the video. This involved taking our male actor, Jack and our female actor Jess, and filming our argument scene, which, ultimately adds to the them of Jack ending up on his own. This was a very successful session because not only did we manage to get our final shots, but we got a good variety in order to make the argument scene look good. Hopefully, we wont need to do any more filming and we can focus on our editing!

"Mind the Gap"

Whilst continuing with our editing to day, we realised that we had not got enough shots to cover all of the lyrics that we needed to cover. So, once we had worked out the lines that we needed to film, we found a conveniently place brick wall, and decide to film some close ups of Jack lip syncing the missing lines...

Filming Today

Today, 1st November 2011, we travelled to Cheam Park to get some more shots with our actor, Jack. The filming mainly consisted of close up and filler shots as we are now coming towards the end of production. The shots included the skyline of London, Close ups and Medium shots. The surrounding area, being a park is very different to the urban surrounding of London that we have used, showing a journey and that situations can change.
