Problem Solved

After a few tense editing sessions and a lot off pressure from the teachers, we, as a group managed to rectify our editing problems and get back to the standard (and more) of what we had before we lost a lot of work. Now that we are back on track, we can get on from where we left off!

This pic shows the opening that we lost, and had to reconstruct, a lot harder than it looks, changing clip speeds and using colour correction.

Editing Problem

Today we have had a few small problems whilst we were editing. Final Cut quit unexpectedly and, by no fault of anybody but myself the work of half of todays lesson was lost. Next time I will remember to save! Looks like im in for the long slot after school and for the next few days...

More Digipak work...

Much the same as my last post, we are still working on our digipak design and how we want it to work out. We have decided to run with the black and white theme, but keep some of our original image in colour. Today this slide was put together as an idea that we can base the rest of our digipak around, although we still need to decide weather this will be our final design. I have mixed feelings about this specific tile. I feel that it could work, because it shows the loneliness. But on the other hand, i dont feel that it compliments the song.

Digipak Design

Today we sat down and decided what kind of Digipak theme/design that we wanted to go for. We are still trying to finalise our ideas, but common themes arising are that we will have the artist alone, not part as a group, and that our Digipak will be in black and white. We also decided that we are going to stick with a 4 panel product instead of 6, simply because we do not want to put too much into the product, which may take away from it. One thing that we have decided on for sure, is the fact that we will be branding our actor as an individual artist, giving the whole product individuality and originality.

Digipak Sketches

Below are out basic sketches for the digipak that we are hoping to create for our product.

We started by getting some basic ideas of what we wanted our digipak to look like down on paper. The design work was important to us so that we knew what we had to do when the product was nearing completion. Without the prior planning, I feel that we would not have created a strong digipak because our ideas would have been mixed up with no clear path to follow.

Editing

Today we continued with the same work as our previous session on Tuesday 11th. We have noticed that there we still have big gaps to fill, and some of our footage already needs to be re-filmed. Although, at the moment this is no major drama, if we leave it, the problem will escalate! But today has been successful by continuing to build our skeleton of the video

Editing

Today, we continued on with our editing, tidying up our opening and roughly positioning shots to where we wanted them to be. All in all a successful session as we have a main skeleton ready to start finalising!
