Inside Album (With CD & Lyric & Artbook)

Poster Final

Front Cover Final

Photography Shoot (9/1/17)

Today we conducted our photoshoot to gather images for the music single and advert. The images were taken of the singer of the album in Leyton Sixth Form Photography Studio using a canon DSLR camera. The images that were captured was a range of shots at all angles as this would allow us to use different images for the front cover, back cover inside and advert. In this time I was also brainstorming last minute ideas I can do with the images as this would stop a generic image being carried throughout the creative process. In this time I decided that I was going to change the edits of the image to leave some in colour and make some monochrome to suit the concept

Ninth Day Of Editing (22/10/16)

As a result of the focus group we began continuing to improve on the aspects people stated needed improvement. The first was the font as people stated it looked too feminine for the song so, we decided to change it to something more elegant for the song. In addition to this we also had noticed a problem with the sizing of the font a sit was at a point where it looked like it was positioned in the top corner of the screen so, we adjusted it so that all the words would fit in perfectly in the frame. In addition to this we also picked out another clip we could apply the drawing effect to as we were also told to continue to do this effect as it looked interesting however, we decided to apply a multi-colour effect to the line to make it provide variation to the previously used black outline.

Eighth Day of Editing (21/11/16)

Today we continued editing through to the second verse. In this we used the shots captured on the wall against Stratford International as we were able to do the text effect when he is rapping. This was to work in commune with location shots against the wall as a side shot this was to support the rule of three as we didn't position the singer directly in the middle of the shot but, on the left hand side with the text appearing on the left hand side of the shot. This was done during the rapping as he talks faster in this verse so by displaying the words on the side one can keep track of what he is saying in the track. In this we had two shots of him doing this we had one as a close up and one as a long-shot so, we were able to cut between the two clips.

Seventh Day of Editing (17/11/16)

In this session I spent 3 hours alone polishing some of the editing in the clip by completing the writing effect on the clips against the wall and started doing more of the drawing on the clips in the studio prior to the lesson. During the lesson we began placing the clips in order up until the bridge of the audio. In addition to this we also got feedback on the parts we had edited so far as a result we got the feedback of:

Positives

• The editing effects of the outline around the singer
• Camera quality of the shots taken
• Range of locations
• Cutting rate of shots

Improvements

• Changing the font used in the introduction
• Continuing the line effect throughout the shots taken in the studio
• Match up the lip-sync of the Singers and the track

Sixth day of Editing (16/10/16)

In today's lesson we continued with the text editing but, was also planning on what to do for the bridge of the song as this is a part of the song that is slower than the rest of the song however would not require us to do additional filming. As a result we decided that the best thing is to merge the clips we have got already seeing that we already had a lot in a concept where we could slow down the clip to sync up with the music as we already have clips of him singing it but, we also had clips of him acting to the particular part of the song in which we could use. To conclude we decided that we would make the best with what we already got because of how hard it is to arrange filming sessions with both the actors at the same time.

Fifth day of Editing (15/10/16)

In today's session we continued editing the second verse and the chorus of the song. In this we synced up the clips to the music and begun working on the feedback from peers in using the drawing effect in all clips captured in the studio as well as do different effects with the drawing besides outline because of our research into the Justin Bieber lyrical video he done more than outline the main artist but, done drawings around him so, as a result we have started doing other stuff than outlines. In addition to this we have also started doing the writing effect in which the text is displayed next to the singer as he says the word. this is done during the rapping section of the music as this would be faster than the singing so displaying the words gives the viewer the ability to know what the singer is saying as well as being able to sing along. This was done against all of the shots done at Stratford International against the wall to give this area some effect than just looking plain.

Filming Olympic Park & Westfield (4/11/16)

Today we booked out the camera for filming in Stratford and the olympic Park. In this shoot we are planning to record 4 key shots from the storyboard which are the escalator shot reverse shot, against the wall, walking (three point tracking shot) and mirror shot. This was filmed from 14:30 - 5:30pm. As a whole the footage that we captured on the day was exquisite as the lighting in each shot worked well with the video concept as well as us being able to gather the footage to fill the gaps in which we needed to record more footage to bridge certain gaps in the video structure as well as giving us a range of locations.

Third Day Of Editing (19/10/16)

In today's session we took the advice that we were given as to syncing the track and the acting together so, we removed the effects that we previously had on the clip and began syncing the video along with the music audio. As a result we had the clip looking natural with the backing music. In addition to this we were planning on when and where we would be filming for the next session on either Friday or Saturday. As a result we would be finalising this discussion on 20/10/16.

Second Day Of Editing (18/10/16)

In this we continued editing the clips as well as got feedback from our peers as to areas we could improve upon as well as areas we done successfully. The main issue came specifically from the editing standpoint and slightly the filming as we noticed a delay in the actors timing in the video in addition the delay in the singer's voice which is to do with the syncing of his singing to that of the original audio. As a result we have got the feedback of expanding the audio and plotting key points in the actual audio and in the recorded video so that the matching of time would be seamless, In addition we also got the advice to slow down or speed up the clip so that the speed is perfectly matched to the audio. However, the praises that  we received were in the actual footage that was gathered as the lighting and video quality of the video was immaculate. As a result tomorrow we are going to re-edit the clip and sync it perfectly to the track.

First Day Of Editing (17/10/16)

Today we started editing the first clips that we had recorded on Friday in the studio. This was done in the editing suite of the college using premiere pro. In this we had the first verse of the track extracted and put onto premiere pro to be further edited. From our review of all of the clips we found that the lighting of the actor was slightly dark so we added a brightness to the main actor and added a dissolve effect to merge between camera shots to create a seamless transition between footage. In this time we were also planning for our next shot on either Friday or Saturday from half term.

First Day of filming (14/10/16)

Today we done the first part of our filming as we done the filming we needed to do in the studio. The recording time lasted from 3:00pm to 4:20pm In this time we ran through the song several times in different angles giving a range of angles and perspectives as we had the main actor sitting down, standing up and dancing to gain a range of clips. The shots that we managed was low, medium and close-up shots of him singing to  the audio. The people present during the filming session was Joshua, Ashlee and the main actor.

Location Change / Recees (13/10/16)

As a result of not being able to film at Stratford because of the new West Ham stadium we have begun to look for other alternative location that could offer a similar shot to the one that we expected to use. The one that we have looked at as an alternative is the one a t Ilford exchange as this would be a shopping centre that isn't as crowded as westfield and easy to arrange as the filming permit their is more lenient. As a result I would have to arrange a meeting to seek permission to film.

Mock-up filming #2 (14/09/17)

Today we concluded the filming aspect of the task and started editing the clips that were shot. The software that was used was adobe premier cc which was the same that was used the first time. During this we got a brief tutorial on how to import files from the camera's SD card to the hard drive and from their to adobe premier. During this time we got all of the clips that we were planning to use and started chopping the useful clips with the backing track.

Media film task

In this task we had to take a music video and attempt to lip-sync to the lyrics of the artist in order to practice for the final project. The song that was used was WSTRN, Best Friend as it was a easy song to lip-sync to and compose a music video for it. After the video was shot we used adobe premier to put all of the pieces together to make the final clip. This involved putting the video together perfectly to link up with the track.
In this the location that was used was a stair well as well as a long corridor. This allowed for a variety of shots for example birds eye and worms eye along with close up pan and tracking shots. in this the camera was a mix between fixed and hand-held cameras that allowed a variety of tilted and tracking shots down the stairs and on the window seal. The lighting in the video was a mixture of low key and high key lighting from the outside and from the roof lighting. The editing was done using adobe premier as this enabled us tto put the original vocals over the video to link it together. In addition this also allowed for post editing to the clips as we was able to add an introduction and a constant cutting rate to make all the parts link up with each other smoothly alongside the beat of the music.
