Work in Progress CD Design

In today's lesson I finished my CD front cover and began work on the back cover. I intend to finish the Back cover with the use of text and barcodes as well as names of other songs included in the album.

Work in Progress CD Design

This is my current work on progress for my front cover for the CD I plan on having the bokeh effect behind the artist as well as adding a title on top.

Pitch for CD and feedback

Feedback we received was that our research was very good, and the idea of using the blurred lights which links to our video. The imagery that we use must be the same as the video so that it is consistent. We had not looked much at the advert yet and this was addressed in the video which is something we planned out later on.

Three CD Mock up designs

This is our first idea that I have made that we have chosen for our mock up.

Case studies

Final Video - Memories by Anne Lan (Goblins from Mars Remix)

Work in progress final editing stages

We have come to the end of our editing for the video, we are now stabilising and adding colour correction to the video.

Rough cut video feedback

Feedback we received from this was that the time lapse and effects used were very good with a clear story however some shots were very dark as well as being too grainy. In addition we could also sync up the music and video to make it look more professional.

Rough cut of video

Editing lyric sing and clips finished

This is the lyrics clips all synced in and added to our final product. We have editing for non lip sync parts to be done.

Work in progress Video editing

In today's lesson we continued working on editing our video coming close to a first final edit. More clips need to be added in and parts without any lyrics and just music need to be editing. Progress is being made in each lesson coming up with new ideas each lesson, which we can implement once our first cut is done.

Editing 8/11/16

n today's lesson we worked on editing adding in new clips and matching and cutting them so that they match the song. This was mostly done with the use of the razor tool

Planning on meet up for final video shoot

Team Meeting 01/11/16

In today's team meeting we talking about final filming times as well as continuing with with editing. For our final shoot we shall be going to leake street and Waterloo in the morning as well as going to see the fireworks and film them in the afternoon. We have booked the camera for the weekend 

Filming session 2 forest shoot

Today was our second day of recording for our music video, we successfully completed our forest shoot and managed to film some extra scenes as well as take pictures we will be using in our music video. We began filming at 2:00 and finished at around 3:30, being able to get a variety of shots and scenery.

First day of shooting

Today was our first day of shooting for our music video, we grouped up early and managed to use the studio for a little extra time. We borrowed two cameras with tripods to use, this was so that shooting would be less time consuming as we used one of the cameras as the primary camera and the other to shoot at different angles and pictures that we will be using. The shoot session was successful and we have planned to go to one of our location choices next week which we will be discussing about when we next meet up.

Team Meeting Project "SLF" 04/10/16

In today's lesson Shivam, one of our team members was not available, therefore we were unable to have a proper complete team meeting, however we did get lots of progress on the storyboard and we managed to get permission for the use of the music and have asked permission for the use of locations.

Team Meeting 03/10/2016 Project "SLF"

In today's lesson we were given revised information about our original music video which was too inappropriate to use for our assignment, therefore we needed to change the song so that it was fit and suitable for our coursework as well as something that was of a similar genre so we wouldn't need to change our previous work. The new song that we have chosen was Memories by Leonell Cassio featuring Anne Lan and remixed by Goblins From Mars.

This is an image of the release form allowing us to use the studio within our college.

Team roles during this project

Usman - I will be operating the camera mostly ensuring our actor is in shot and that we are matching our shots as best as we can to the story bored, I will also be doing a majority of the editing once all our filing is done.

Hasan - Will be managing time as well as making sure everyone is available for shooting dates in addition to attempting to getting permission to film at our chosen locations. Will also be operating the [secondary] camera (when available) and ensuring we have enough shots to use.

Shivam -  Will be looking after equipment and ensuring that it is all returned without any damage, in additon he will also be in contact with our actor relaying dates of availability to us, so that we are able to plan our shooting dates more effectively, he will also be in charge of costume.

Pitch for Music video Plus Feedback

During our presentation of this pitch we got a lot of feedback on our ideas and the changes that could make to our music video.

Some useful Feedback we recieved include, looking back at our case studies and other similar genred music videos and see how we can use ideas from them aswell as our own to combine and make the music video. for example, when there is a fast beat we can use multiple scenes with fat cut throughs.

We reviewed the song lyrics and they were inappropriate, and we have chosen to replaced it with this new song below. The new song we have chosen is not very different to the previous one as instead of being about expressing her feelings about getting together its about her saying they should stay away.

The Infinite Mix Trip

The Infinite Mix is an expedition which brings together audiovisual artwork, combination of music and video. During the exhibition there was a variety of creations based on different things and illustrated in a mixture of ways.

The exhibition was presented in an unconventional and unique way, we had to move around in a maze like building into pitch black dark rooms with different methods of showcases of videos, for example displays in all directions, wide, and 3D.
