Creating Digipak and Advert


I have used Adobe Firework to create the Digipak and the Advert, Fireworks is a good and simple software to use as there can be image transformation is side in cuting and changing the brightness and contrast.



Cutting
Cutting is important to have the images a right size and the pictures are cut away from the background.






                        Effects:
-Brightness and contrast








  • Adding text:

adding text is simple there is a tool bar where there is a button where text can be added.

Video Draft





Feedback:
Teacher:
  • Video doen't hold together.
  • Include Band Footage (To include cutaways)
  • Shoot in other locations other an school
  • Colour seems odd (jumper and grass makes it look too green)
  • Singers are confident but the mise-en-scene is weak and lipsyncing is out. Make singers take it more seriously and not giggling. Make them sing so it looks like a performance.
  • Too much walking round fields
  • 1:25 - Unclear have zoomed too far
  • 1:29 Blinds are open letting in light behind the singers.

Initial Footage Editing

How I edited the footage:

Extract Effect :
For the first and last shots of the guilar being played I used an effect where the shots are black and white.

Cross Zoom Transition:
Why I used this trasition to give a good affect when swapping of shots of the guitar.

Brightness and Contrast:
changing the brightness and contrast of my shots from outside. I wanted to do this to make the black be darker and parks of the light parts to be lighter.

Footage Filming

First - When I was going film the locations that I wanted to film where not arranged and I had to improvice the scenes that could be included in the final video and filmed and later film the rest that will go inbetween like the performance with a black background person singing with a spotlight.

The actual filming of the scenes went fine as there was good light and some sun to add some glare to the camera and the actor was willing to do everything required. 

Second - The filming outside with the two actors, went well but it was quite late and there was not much light and getting dark.

I filmed in my bedroom and set up a live performance stage look by adding green lighting, microphone and guitar. It went well but there was not a lot of time to film, I still managed to get most of the shots that I wanted.
