(Production) - Reflection blog week 10

Editing:

This week my teacher sat down with my partner and I to have a look at how our music video is coming along. We discussed the issue that we may not have enough close-ups in the performance scenes of our videos, e.g. close-ups of the instruments. To fix this my partner and I will, firstly, look through are footage to see how many close-ups we have token and, secondly, if we need to add more, we will film some more footage.

Pictures:

This week I had some trouble with some of the photos on my blog, because they were not showing up properly. My teacher showed me how to fix this though. I had to save the pictures from my blog, upload them on to Photo Bucket and then embed them onto the appropriate blog post. This took me a bit of time, however now I know how to fix this problem if it happens again and so it will take me very little time at all.

Extras for digipak and magazine:

This week, as my partner and I are pretty happy with are digipak and magazine designs, we have been discussing small adjustments we can make to them and extras that will make them stand out just that little bit more.

Magazine advert: For the magazine advert, my partner and I have been discussing how we can change its COLOUR AND CONTRAST to make it stand out more.

Digipak: My partner and I, this week, have begun to add some FEATURES to are digipak, which we fill make the digipak look more authentic. In this, we created some STICKER designs, which we think work quite well. However we still think we can make the final design sticker stand out more, for example, adding colour to the sticker. We have have also had an idea of creating an OUTER LAYER for our digipak, which well have the sticker on it. My partner and I got this idea from some digipaks I had at home and feel that it would be a good addition to our design, will keep the digipak looking new and, therefore, audiences may be more likely to buy a product which will last longer/hold together for longer.

Next week:

Editing music video:
My partner and I will continue and finish our initial edit for to our music video next week. My partner and I have already finished cropping all the shots we would look to use, so next week we can get on with putting all the pictures on the time line. This may take us a bit of time as we must make sure that in the performance scenes, where the band is singing, synchronizes with the singing in the song.



Magazine advert: 
Next week my partner will play around with the contract and brightness of our final magazine advert picture to see if we can make the picture pop more and contract against the white text.

 



Digipak:
As my partner and I are quite happy with our latest digipak design, we will concentrate on making final adjustments to it and making sure that it fits the usual conventions of a digipak, as well as making it stand out from other digipaks at the same time.
