Magazine Final Advert

Magazine Advert

I have developed my first idea of having a cartoon background and the lead singer in natural. i decided rather than taking an image from the future i would use one of the pictures taken on the photoshoot. this is becasue if i took an image from the future it wouldnt be as good quality. i have used a simple shot of me up against a brick wall. i have then changed the bricks into cartoon on photoshot and then i have changed some of the bricks into 6 different bright colours. this keeps it with my initial idea of making the magazine advert eye catching. Too make the advert as much like a real advert i have added some logos onto the bottom and i hope to also add copyright and trade mark logos in as well. I have put the title of the song onto my legs as i am wearing dark jeans and it makes the white font stand out and gives you something else to look at.

Magazine Advert

The idea for the magazine advert is to take a picture of Porson Avenue which is a alleyway we shot down. With this image we want to put pictures of clothes in and make it look like they are laying on the floor. this would link into the title as it is "Too Famous To Get Fully Dressed". it would also link because it is down the street we filmed on. with this the title name would be dotted around the screen to make it a bit different.

CD Cover Idea

This is a image from the opening titles of a film called Juno. The idea i have is similar to this but slightly different. My idea is to take a shot of me walking down one of the streets and take away the natural background and then create a cartoon background so the bushes would be bright green and all one colour. I believe that this would be good because it would make the product stand out because of the bright colours it would make the CD cover eye catching. The final piece would look like this one but instead of having normal clothes my face would be natural colours. The shot of me i would like to use would be when i am walking down a residential road where there are bushes on my left and grass and trees on my right. Or alternatively the one next to the main road and just have one car in it which would be changed into cartoon. This would be a lot more difficult though. The main reason for me doing this is because i want the product to be eye catching and very different to any other CD cover. This is the type of shot i would like to use for the CD cover.

Idea One

This is a few drawings of ideas we have been brain storming for our media project. We have the basic idea drawn up here and the other ideas are being drawn up.

Camera Loan

We have decided that we are going to loan out a camera, to get some better shots for our Digi Pak so we can have more of a variety.
There are two ideas that we are going to try out one of which Charlie came up with which is of clothes scattered around the locations in the video and cartooned up a bit and made to look a bit smart.
The second idea we have is of the basic shot that is in the original footage of him leaning against the lamp post and of him smirking at the camera maybe more tilted to bring some artistic qualities out.
We plan on loaning a camera out on the Friday lesson to create and take the pictures so we have time to work on the final pictures.

Possible Dvd Cover

I dont think we have any other shots that are strong enough for the cover or the digipak. I think that there should be lots of shots like a collage of different band shots surrounding a picture of the main singer. the reason i took this picture is becsaue i think it looks like a good band shot, if i were to choose another one it would be one of the whole band performing. But i do think that we should put our stronger shot onto the back of the dvd cover.

Digipak

A Digipak is digital footage of the band either CD or a DVD sometimes it contains both.

A digipak consists of various special edition content e.g.

• extra features
• interviews
• making of

Feedback

From speaking as a group and with Andrea, we have decided to focus more on the walking down different streets and drift away from the scenes in the house and bathroom. At the start we are going to have a spilt screen of all the streets i have walked down. Also there is a solo in the song and after the solo the music goes back to normal, we are going to add some effects as we don't have many at the moment. we hope to take four different and spilt them into 4,8 and then 16. We were given sum useful criticism about some of our slides in the house, because we used natural light which was rather dim we were told it would benefit us by using a lighter filter to make the shots brighter so it wouldn't look dull.

Editing 09/11.09

We looked through our new footage and continued to edit the video using the new footage. We have replaced previous footage with new footage of the artist walking down the streets, which goes with our initial idea a lot more and fixes problems seen in the feedback. We also filled in the black space in our rough cut.

We shall continue editing next lesson and have booked time to edit after college also.

Filming

We filmed some more footage in our lesson on friday, which included the artist (Charles) walking down different streets, as planned, in different costume with different shot types. We also filmed some close-up shots of Charles so the video will have some clear footage of him lip-syncing.

Rough cut

Band Shot

Today we shot the band playing, as Wednesday we didn't have enough equipment. This time we did it in the music room as there was already a drum kit set up. We did about 6 different shots, 3 of the whole band from different angles and then close ups of each band member. As Charmiane was more confident at playing the guitar we did more shots of her playing. We did one main close up on lily from a bit more of a distance so that you couldn't she what she was playing. Also we have shots that we took on Wednesday which we can use in our video. This is to keep with our main idea of having many shots to change betweeen.

!

Today we did our main shoot, as the weather was terrible we had to change out idea of having a band in a field. This was becasue there was heavy rain and there was a lot of mud. We changed our idea to having the lead singer walking and going through everyday routine. the main singer is walking in 4 different locations and we hope to make it 6 different locations and also there is some footage shot in a house.

Test shoot

Today we did a run through of our walking scene to judge how we could get the best outcome possible. First we judged the surface to see if we could use the dolly to get tracking shot but so the camera wasnt shaky, which worked quite well once we got it sorted which took a few minutes. Just to compare and see if it would be better quality, we held the camera rather than using the dolly because we found that the dolly shaked when it hit a bump, and we found the hand-held version
