Poster

i also used the same effect with the poster as i did with the cd cover, the same effect as standing out and seeming fun and exciting to the public, i didnt want to include that much on my poster as i just wanted to get straight to the point using the word 'unbelievable' letting the public know what they should be thinking and what they will start to think as soon as they listen to this band. my poster is bold but yet simple just clearly showing the audience all they need to know, 4 people in the band, unbelievable singers and people, and a bundle of fun, what else what they need to know.
this is my cd cover, created from the inspiration of blur, i used the brightest of colors not only to raise attention, but to also give the band some sort of significance, to show there young age, something to look fun and upbeat, something that would show an audience that this band is exciting for everyone, there not just the same as everyone else, they want to be different and alice to the public, visible for everyone to see and also noticeable, they want to stand outr from the crowd. i feel my cd cover really shows this effect as it is completely different and wild and definatewly stands out.

Our Final Thoughts.

When the final video is created, they are always many things in which you feel that you should of gone back and done before handing the video in, but there will always be others things in which you could do to change the video, but the best you can do is always the best you can do. We decided to add split screens to our video near enough at the last minute to overshadow each character so that they are responding off each other getting to know each side of the story, we all had many different ideas in which we could of included but it was too late by the time in which we thought of them. When the video was played back to us we was all very happy and pleased with our success but were disappointed not to be able to add our last few adjustments in, but it could not be helped. we were happy with what we had, as we tried the best we could and our video corresponds very well with our blog each change documented and talked about so that everything is updated and everyone is informed in what we have chosen to do and how we have chosen to do it, the changes in which we made have been explained so that it all makes sense and so that everything that happens within our video links well to our blogs.

Our Roles!

Chelsea, Ruby and I have each out equal effort into the music video, Chelsea played the huge part of actually acting out in the film, which she did fantastically, she made the storyline seem very realistic, and helped us out to a massive advantage, I played the role in directing the film, coming up with new ideas, helping out with the storyboard and locations to give tit the most professional effect possible, Ruby did the job of putting it all together to make sure that all our hard work was successful and paid off, Ruby did this very well, she put it together also really well, so that our video looked fantastic, we all tried our best to do the best possible job we could, Kemisha helped out in different parts of the editing offering a few new ideas and so on. Our roles were very important as all though we all had different jobs, we all had to work together to achieve the best possible outcome in which we could.

Crit!

We recently just had a crit within one of our lessons, so that we could display our video to the rest of the class and hear the thoughts about the video and listen to their feedback. We got some good views back bout our video that it was original and seemed very organized, when we presented it to the rest of the class it wasn't quite finished we still had a few gaps that needed to be filled so we didn't really get the total feedback that we would of liked because it wasn't finished, we was really pleased with the feedback, as you always expect bad comments, but everyone seemed quite impressed which made my whole group feel a lot more poritive about our video.

Progress!

Within this project i feel that all our skills have progressed we have each all learned new different things, especially how to work together listening to each others idea to create the best piece we can. our video has progressed dramatically, from looking back to how it first seemed when the footage was uploaded to the computer to how it looks now, we have each put equal effort into everything to try and help each other out so that everyone had a role in something, but sometimes someone may slack a bit and not take the same equal role in something which makes us sway behind. The video we all feel was successful, we were quite unfortunate to not be able to make our final adjustments. it has progressed in a great way, we are all Happy and are just making final preparations to make sure everything is ready to be completed.

Digipacks

At the moment we are beginning to put together our digipack, each creating our own one, so that we have our own choices in what is to be placed on our CD cover. we all have various different ideas and within the music video they have all been placed together, but now is our chance to use our own ideas to create something and to compare at the end of our task to see the ideas in which other people have and how they have created their CD covers magazine adverts and perhaps a myspace page if they have chosen to create one. it would be good to compare at the end of our task as this is the first time within our project which we have had to work by ourselves as during the filming and editing process we all had to work together, our decisions had to be synchronized so that everyone agreed on the choices in which we had made, so that everyone was happy, and no one's idea or preference was left unheard.
