my video feedback

I asked my teacher to look at my video to receive feedback and enable myself to make the video better. The teacher motioned i should have a section that has faster paced clips.
I have taken this advice on board and rearranged some of my video. I found that this gave a good effect as it gives the impression the artist is reminiscing on the song and the video. I have therefore decided to keep this in my video.

first complete edit of my music video

This is the first full edit, i would still like to keep trying out different arrangements.

filming

I filmed in the green room on Wednesday 8Th December. For this section of filming i used the lead male role and the lead female role.
Both roles had to appear in a posh manner. I originally in my story board wanted the pair to dance. However due to the inexperience of the male character, and my limited knowledge of dance, i found this hard to construct.
Instead i used different angles and closeup/medium shots to show the pair gazing at each other.

Outfits
I wanted this section to appear like a traditional sequence. By this i mean a male dominating appearance and a female dismissive role. I think this matched the genre of the song. There for the male character was dressed in a traditional white shirt and trousers. I wanted it to just be a shirt and trousers as it thought the white shirt contrasted well with the female characters outfit.
For the female character I dressed her in a leotard and tights with a maroon scarf. This choice of outfit was because it was what she wore for the other dance sequence which worked well with the lighting. Also a leotard is known as the most commonly used outfit associated with ballet type traditional dance.

The cd template

My CD templates

This is my first attempt. I wanted a pattern similar to the front cover. However the pattern i think is to harsh for the type of genre. And i also dont like the background colour.

Here is my second attempt, i had a go at moving around the pattern to a different position, i changed the background colour however I'm not sure on this. I also made the pattern appear softer.

Here i looked at different positions. I experimented with the colours on the pattern aswel. I dont think the brown works very well. I think this doesnt give off the genre i wanted.

I experimented with different colours again however i dont like this cover as the colours dont match the type of colours i am looking for.

Here is my final attempt i have changed the background colour to the colour i first used as i think this colour suites the genre and theme more. The pattern is more soft appearing and light. I have also re arranged the pattern to the bottom right.

filming

i had booked a camera for last wednesday (1st of December)
due to the weather conditions and college closing i have had to re schedule this for the upcoming wednesday (8th of December)

The closure of colege has ment that i am a week behind what i planned. therefor i will ave to work faster to shoot the remining shots for my video
the shots i was planning to do on wedesday was the ball room type shots with Matty and Jess.

There is one more location i need to do and that is located at my house, i thereofr will ave to drive there as it is an hour walk. If the weather does not improve i wont be able to do this so i will have to come up with another location or shoot more of another location.

digi pack cd cover

This is a picture of a 3D digipack for a CD cover

This is the first attempt, it is plain because i wanted to try a rough draft of were the lettering and picture would go.
I will change the font on my next attempt and adjust the colouring of the picture as i don't think it fits in with the other pictures i will be using.



This is my second attempt. I changed the font of "Jamilla" as to define this as her name and "Hello" as a title.
I think this works better however i think the colour is to plain.


Here in my 3rd try i have changed the brightness and contrast of the photo out. I hav also made the olours less birght and vibrant. However i am not pleased with the result. I think the artist looks to bland and the colours do not match the theme i am going for.


I used different lettering and a different size, I also experimented using the lettering in a different place. I took this from the Rihanna "loud" album, as she uses a wide spread position of the lettering.

Here i experimented using different words. I also re positioned the picture

However i think there is to much words on here for a cd cover. I also think that the background is to plain.

Here i have changed the positioning of the words and the colour. I think the cvolour balck matches the picture of jess better than the white did.


Here i changed the tone of the picture and also added a pattern. I like this image as it isnt to plain and i am happy with were the title and picture is placed. I think the swirl pattern represents my genre.
