Change of plan!

After feedback on my other digipack I decided to change it. I was told that it would look better if it had a photo of the band as the front cover and there were too many film strips.. must of got carried away there! 


I now prefer this one as with the feedback I took on board, I do think this looks more professional and portrays the band better. 


I changed the text to a more hard and edgy font as the italic was looking to feminine and reflected them as too girly. However, I kept the pink as it still shows they appeal to the male and female audience and enjoy doing this. 


I wanted to keep the barbie doll photos as it changes the digipack from being just about them and accompanies the band name seeing as this is there first single/album.    

Digipack...

Finally finished my digipack! I am really pleased with it as I think it resembles our band really well..

I wanted to use images from our video as the film strips add the the effect of real footage. I like the feel this gives off as it looks proffessional.

I used the 'B' for the tray holder as it is like a mini logo to represent us and everytime the CD is placed or taken out it reminds the owner of us.

Digipack..

This is my digipack so far!! Getting there now.

I wanted my digipack to have a similar theme to the video so I carried on the black and white and I used pink writing to give it a girly feel that also runs alongside the 'barbie' part of our band name.

I didn't want it to be too girly so I focused on the lighting of the images just like our video and the black and white adds to the edginess and mysterious side of our band.

VIDEO!!

We finally have our finished video! However, this one is out of sync as when transferred to a different file it moved. The orginal one would not upload to here so we've had to show this one!

Screening

Our screening went really well today and got many compliments. The teachers and peers views on our video were exactly how we wanted it to be portrayed. 
Here are some of the comments we got...


Miss Beere (Head of Sixth Form)
"Absolutely brilliant. Could be on MTV! Characters were fantastic and you all gelled together. The clothes and attitude portrayed the image intended"


Mrs Moore (Deputy Head and media teacher)
"Beautiful, slick and professional video, with fantastic performances and tight editing. Lovely lighting and overall and pleasure to watch"


It is such a good feeling to know that our original ideas that we first came up with successfully worked and what I imagined would be our video, actually was.

Editing

Since being back we've just been editing the video and making sure everything is up to scratch. We had a few problems editing leading us to re-add clips and cut them again but wasn't anything that mattered too much. 


Today, Ellis dedicated herself the whole day to finish the video to allow us to screen in class to teachers and peers tomorrow.  It turned out really well and very thankful.

Last day of filming

Finally last day of filming!

We successfully filmed the last clips we had planned to with some extra improvised clips too! I was so pleased with our filming today and we are so relieved to know all we have to do now is edit. 

The last clip came out so much better than we thought and added that extra YES to the end of our video.

More filming


Today we managed to film the crowd scene!!


It didn't happen where we wanted it to exactly so at first we thought we could not do it, however after some discussion we used a different location which then worked in our favor in the end.  


Gratefully, two younger classes volunteered to be our 'fans' for this scene and definitely played them very well. If not performed as well as the did it would not have looked as professional. 


We also filmed some extra bits just incase we needed to add some more filming in. This came in handy as we wanted to make the pace faster in the video so we cut some more shots in that we filmed.
