Things to do

We have to film the rest of the footage on the first day back after Christmas to finish the editing for our music video. We also have to take photos for our digipack and our poster. It was difficult to start to create the digipack on photoshop without the photos so I am going to start that after we have finished editing our video.

Screen shots of Editing

Here are some screen shots from editing. As you can see we have been using Final Cut Pro as it does give a better finish to the footage. It is also evident that many cuts have been used.

Editing

We have started to edit the bar and limousine footage for our music video. Using our storyboard we placed the right footage in the places we wanted. We have edited it very well because we want to then be able to put the studio footage once we have filmed after christmas.
We decided in the end to introduce the limousine two thirds of the way through on a slower beat of the song. We have done this so the audience is not bored of the same settings throughout.
We feel like this editing has been very successful and consist of a wide variety of shots as well as editing techniques of split screens. Once we add the limousine shots we will add more techniques such as fading.

Draft of poster

This is a rough draft of what I would like my poster to look like.

I want the diamonds around the edge similar to those in the logo. The background however I want a faded red so they band members fade into the background as they are wearing black they need to stand out on the background.

The logo will be bold along the bottom. The Scarlett will stand out because of the background not being as blood red as the Scarlett is.

To do

Before Christmas I hope to have drafted a digipack and poster on photoshop. I want them both to contain the diamonds and black background as well as our band name cut out. When adding the photos after I hope to fade in the photos so it looks quite glamourous. As the band will be wearing black maybe a red background will be better but we will have to draft it to see.

Photos from second filming at the bar

Here are some photos from the filming at the filming of the bar. As you can see we all filmed at the bar, to show the narrative as well as being in the spotlight on the black background. The individual shots on the black background came out really well because of the shadows but also the red standing out.

The group shot did not turn out very well. For some reason it came out very blurry on the computer but was fine on the video camera. Maybe we can edit the lighting on final cut pro.
