Music Video - Poster creation

In a part of our music video we are going to have a bit where the rabbit finds these posters and decides to go to the club. On photoshop I created this poster which advertises the fake club which the rabbit will be attending. Dylan has also created a different version of the poster and we have printed them onto A4 paper and will scatter them on the ground in the actual music video

audience research

Bob                                  Janine                                                            Josh                               Fred
I asked 16 people what colour they preferred and the majority said 'Bob', which is the one I am going to go for. I like the kind of faded colour effect of this one, I think it goes well with my digipak and I felt the other colours were too bright.

Journal working on Digipak poster

Today I have been working on my digipak poster. This is what i have come up with so far, I decided to use an image that doesn't feature on my digipak front cover as it makes it look different and not too repetitive. Saying this, this image does feature inside the digipak keeping some continuity. I added a smaller image of the front cover in the bottom right corner as this was a feature I noticed occur on existing digipak poster.

Tutorial with Mrs Otti

Journal: 20.11.13

Today we showed our finished animatics to the class so we could get feedback. The feedback that we got was mainly positive saying that the pace was good, that we'd complied with Goodwin well and that the actual music video narrative looked interesting and they would watch it multiple times.

The only other feedback we got was that we needed to work on the length of some of the shots, and some people thought there were elements of Goodwin missing however we explained what we were doing for each one. To make sure our video is the best it could be we will make sure our shots aren't too long and the pace is consistent and fluent.

Journal 15.11.13

Today I have been working on my second draft of my digipak. I have been editing it according to the feedback I received on Monday. So far I have changed a few of my images in the collage as they were the same as the ones inside of the digipak, which on reflection doesn't look very professional. I am also in the process of changing my 'acknowledgements' panel as I think it is too text heavy and something else may be more suited there. I might have to take a few more images for my digipak as for these panels I may just have some images from around London that connote the 'urban/dance' direction that my digipak seems to have taken.

Digipak Pitch

Journal 11.11.13

Today we presented our first drafts of our digipaks to the class. We talked about each panel and explained why we put what we did on each panel. I got mainly positive feedback from mine saying that the genre came across well, it was aesthetically pleasing etc. However, I did get some constructive criticism saying that there was perhaps too much writing on my digipak and I will take this into consideration on my second draft and perhaps revise some panels with a lot of text on them.

Journal 30.10.13

On the 30th of October me, Dylan and Kate travelled to London to do a test shoot. We wanted to see whether our ideas were actually do-able and not too ambitious. We took the opportunity of it being half term and good weather to get out there and do some practise shots. The shots that we got actually came out so much better than expected, which gave us the confidence that our idea would be able to work out. Some of the shots may even be able to used in our real music video as they were actually really successful.

The next step will be to complete our storyboards knowing that we won't have to change our idea at all. After doing this we will do our animatic and then be able to do some filming for real.

Music Video Test Shoot Wednesday 30th October 2013

































these are some behinds the scenes and location shots of the test shoot we did for the music video. We wanted to test some of our ideas to see whether they would work for the real video. They were pretty successful and we may be able to use some of our footage in the real edit. This day was beneficial to us because it allowed us to ensure our ideas weren't too ambitious so it would be better to realise this now than when we actually came to do the real shoot. We firstly went to piccadilly circus to film the main dancing bit, then we headed to south bank for some more shots and then finally to the graffiti tunnels near waterloo for the final shots that we needed, over all it was a really successful day shooting.

Digipak shoot - Weds 16th October




 These shots are the ones that Dylan will be using on his front cover, however I will be using them too for a few of my polaroid shots. This way, our digipak's will be different but they will still link to each other.


 These are a few of the Rabbit head on I might use one of these for the competition panel on my digipak

This is the shot Kate wants to use for her front cover, I think I will again use it in my collage so that there are links between the front covers.
