Progress Report - 29th November

As we had our final design for our digi-pak, we decided to create an advert for this. We kept the same theme of black, white and yellow, thus creating a house style. We thought we should use photo's of the band members but we didn't want to conform to the typical digi-pak advert conventions. And instead, downloaded some more Photoshop brushes of hair, underneath them we incorporated band member signatures. We included the HMV logo in the bottom right so that audiences will know where to buy the digi-pak.

We finished our music video editing, ensuring the lip syncs were correct as well as the colours and the visual transitions. Once this was complete we began creating our digi-pak and digi-pak advert; we created six 15x15cm black files. We downloaded several different Photoshop brushes to include on the cover. Our initial idea was to have ink sploges to create an interesting visualisation but as this looked unprofessional, we chose to have flares instead. We used different types of the flares, white and yellow and put them in each of the opposite bottom corners of the digi-pak. We kept the theme of white and yellow to use for the text.

We were able to complete the animation clips that we were using and inserting them into our music video. We decided to add the vignette editing that we used on the black and white clips because the animations also show the past and what has happened.

It was difficult to try and move the girl character as when we rotated her at a 90 degree angle, she stayed in the same place so we had to create a new centre point.

We carried on filming Tommy again today, in the same clothes as previous. We wanted to add an emotional, dramtic sequence in our music video so we spent some time ripping up black paper to act as confetti. This took several takes in order to try and drop the confetti in the right areas; we chose to use black paper as it create a vivid contrast.

We noticed that we needed more clips of Tommy singing on his own in order to show how much of an impact the event had on him. Rather than filming it in an area similar to the last ones, we chose to have him on a plain white background, the audience will be able to decode the loneliness that he is experiencing. We managed to get some good close ups and panning shots.

We carried on with the editing in order to fill the gaps that we had in our video as well as adding some more edits to the clips. We inserted a vignette to the past relationship clips which were in black and white. The audience will decode this as the past.

We continued with editing of our music video, inserting clips as well as adding transition effects and editing the colours.

Progress Report - 4th November

Today, we continued spending some time editing the animation as we planned to have several different clips, telling the story in short form. Once again, it took some time to do this procedure.

Progress Report - 2nd November

Today we continued with the animation editing, we found this to be a very stressful process as each clip takes a while to render; if there is a little mistake when we watch it back, we have to edit it again and repeat the process until it is right.
