Panels 2 and 3 of our Digipak

Initially, we wanted to use all four images of our artists on one panel. However, we later decided we could spread them our over two panels as it looked better. We added some colour simply by using the paint brush to create strokes of different colours. We used purple, green, and red to keep our style consistent. These colours represent vibrance and youth so we thought it suited our artist. We then applied a blur motion effect to make the paint strokes blurry and to give it this effect. The black circle shows the position the CD will take.

RE-SHOOT

We decided to re-shoot our maraca scene, we did this because the first time we did it the maracas were out of the shot and it just didn't look right so we decided to use the good parts and add close ups of the maracas to clearly show to the audience he is holding a maraca, because our fast shots we got some audience feedback and they said that it was to fast and our audience couldn't focus in time so we slowed down some of the shots.

EVERY THING I HAVE IS GREY! but which i best eyh?

Started editing !

Finally we have started editing, I wasn't in school last week because i was ill so i didn't get to chose what shots/effects would be appropriate for the music video. Today i checked the blog to see what they decided and i am in full agreement. I started editing the REAL video and so far so good thanks to the storyboard we created and shots we filmed the editing isn't that hard, at the moment.

Hope it stays that way :)

Reviewing our footage

We have just reviewed our rough cut. We have discussed which effects and shots work. We have decided that the footage of Mustafa using the shakers whilst singing does not work as the shakers are cut off. It looks awkward so we may re-shoot this. We have looked at different effects in iMovie and decided on four final ones we will use. We do not want to use too many different types of effects because we want to keep a theme which suits the generic conventions of our genre. The effects we have chosen are: Fast (which speeds up footage), bump distortion, edges and ghost trails. Three of these have already been used in our rough cut and we have made a decision to keep these.
