Early Editing Stage of my Music Video 2

Date: 29/11/2016

Description:
On Friday (25/11/2016) of last week I re-took the video shots from my first takes in order to make improvements made by my teacher.
Alongside me was Tyrell (Camera-man), Harry (Sound Specialist) and Tyler (Assistant Director) who each helped me to do the re-takes, we went to the same places at Danson Park during school hours (we were given authorisation to leave the site).
The day was particularly useful because while it was cold the sun was out and the skies were clear so the shots were well lit and also we had sense flare effect on the shots which made them much more effective in how they were presented to us.

Unfortunately we couldn't do all the filming for my entire music video due to the unavailability of the extra people I needed in my work, however another shoot has been planned for the weekend where I hope that the rest of my music video can be performed and filmed so that a full and complete edit can be made.

Early Editing Stage of my Music Video

Date: 24/11/2016

Description:
Today I looked at and edited the first clips I took for my music video.
Unfortunately some of the video files had been corrupted because yesterday my memory stick that had my videos on it malfunctioned and deleted most of my work, I was able to get most of it restored but the some of the videos did get corrupted, thankfully though through my teachers advice from year 12 I took several takes of the same scene and was still able to find usable footage for my first edit.

Regarding my first edit I feel that while the sequence works for the clips I have taken I feel that is not as obvious that I am singing and the performance is very low, therefore I have planned another video take on Friday with my class mate Tyrell in order to correct this and to take some more shots as we only have 2 weeks left before our first draft version of our videos have to be given in.

Preliminary Filming Blog Post

Filming date: 19/11/2016

Location: Danson Park

Participants: Myself as the artist and a friend as the camera-woman

Description:
Earlier this week on Saturday the 19th of November I did the first filming of my music video, the main section of these first takes was of me singing by myself as on that day I only wanted to take these solo clips in order to analyse them in the event that i would have to re-take them on a future date, however if the clips are to my liking i will be able to continue to doing the next stage of my music video and film the group sections.

Digipak and Magazine Advert Draft + Feedback

Recently myself and my year 13 class had to present our draft versions of our Music Video Digipak and the Magazine Advert that goes with it.

My Digipak (below) was well received and its was agreed that it conformed well to the Codes and Conventions of a Pop Genre Digipak and indeed to the personality traits of my Artist (Outdoors-man, love of nature, etc...) in particular the class and my teacher agreed that my front cover was a well chosen picture, on the other hand its was suggested to me that my typography would be better if I only had 2 types of fonts because I in fact had about 4 different fonts.

My Magazine Advert (right) didn't go as well as my Digipak because it turns out that I had in-fact mis-understood the instructions and had created a Magazine Front Cover dedicated to my Artist rather than an Advert, however the main image I had used for my Magazine was liked and was very confirmative of  my artists conventions.
