Draft vs. Final Poster

I decided to change around my magazine advert around to create a more intriguing structure and layout as I felt the first was pretty basic and was not fulfilling any purpose or aim that  I wanted it to. I used another poster which was my inspiration which created a much better effect.

Draft vs. Final Music Video

I decided to create this video on Premiere Pro CS6 in order to show the difference between my first version and last of the music video. The first section seems to stay relatively similar except for the section of the older lady at the beginning. The main change is the pace of certain shots and then the added scene of the older lady and correct male during the performance scene.

This will be my third draft of my music video. This now has all of the footage edited including the sections with the older lady. This is a near final version of my music video and all I need to do now is gain some audience feedback about anything they would change.

Production Log - Test Shoot Footage

I conducted a shoot for my music video which was solely 'test-shoots'. This allowed me to play around with the lighting to find out which ways looked best and also the settings on the camera; after editing the footage it also then taught me things I would have to change for my actual film shoot and things that looked good and things that didn't. After filming I edited it all together and used the song 'High Hopes' by Kodaline. Although it was not the actual song I am using for my music video, it is still by the same artist so fits with the theme. I experimented with the positioning of the lights which I found quite difficult to get it just how I wanted it to look. Doing this made me realise I need more of a black background in order to get the effect I would like. Also, I need to move the lights about behind the artist so her face isn't too bright which is what I found some of the shots came out like; also, this turned out to be a certain setting on the camera that made all the shots extremely bright- I now know this for my actual shoot so the shots are as good as they can be.


Whilst editing I found that some of the shots I did, I'd prefer them to be slowed down to fit more with the music so in order to do so I will have to change the camera settings to a faster shutter speed so when I slow it down on Premiere it would still have a good effect rather than looking quite jittery and jumpy. I then decided to create a black and white colour overlay once i'd finished editing so I exported both a colour and black and white copy; the black and white will create the authentic 50's style look that I am going for so when I create my actual music video I will be able to compare both of them and also compare a more sepia/vintage colour overlay as well to see which has the best effect.

Storyboard

Animatic

Before starting the production of my music video, I created an Animatic; this consisted of drawing out each individual frame, scanning it in and then putting it together with the song of my video in the correct places. I think this will be extremely beneficial when it comes to creating my actual music video as it will give me something I can constantly refer back to to ensure I am on the right track. Also, this gives me a brief idea of what my actual music video will look like, I plan to show this to people that fall within my target audience and try and get some feedback on how they think my video will look once it's filmed and edited together based upon the animatic.

Cam Studio - Poster

Here, I took a recording using the software CamStudio which allowed me to record my work. I decided to hide all the layers on the first draft of my poster and reveal them all one by one.
