digipak final

The overall feedback for our video was that it had a variety of camera angles, transitions and shot types.  the main criticism was that we didn't include enough cuts which brought the pace of the video down, which then didn't fit the tempo of the song at certain points. however we where credited on our use of mise-en-scene such as costumes, props and location.

Evaluation Final Cut

For the 3 separate parts of our music video we had different opinions of them

- The Band performing
- The girl in black and white
- The main singer alone

For the Band performing we think that most of these scene turned out really well, we like the effect that we have used on them. The colour correction has made the video look brighter and more professional. It makes the mise-en-scene stand out more and look more effective with in the video. We had a few issues with framing after we had filmed but we decided to draw more attention to something else in the shot so it's not as noticeable. We think that by using the band and instruments it was well fitting to the genre conventions.

Final deadline music video!

This is our final music video. We will be accepting feedback next week.

Final cut filter analysis

 In our music video we chose to have the girl in black and white because we think it will create more of an effect on the audience and portray her emotions clearer. We used a desaturate filter effect to do this.
To use the desaturate effect, we went to Effects, video filters, Image control, desaturate.

 For the performance scenes we have used a colour correct filter to make the colours in the scene look more bold it also makes the character stand out more.
to use the colour correct filter we went to effects, video filters, colour correction and then colour correct.

When we were filming the scenes at night when we added then onto final cut we saw that they were to dark and you couldn't really see what was  happening in the clip so we put up the brightness.

To put up the brightness we went onto Effect, Video filters, Image control and then brightness and then we put the brightness higher.

Feedback from The technician (Aaron)

Aaron said that overall he was pleased with our music video. He said we had a good variety of of shots and camera angles. Our editing was good and we was editing on the beat, which was a major convention of a music video.
The one thing that Aaron said to do was that we could maybe use the colour correction on the clips where it was just the band playing to help bring out the colours and make them pop. We did this and as well as make the colours brighter and bring them out, it also made it look like it was filmed at sundown, so it was a nice effect that it gave us.

This is what the colour correction has done to the clip. It has brought out the red/ pink hoody, while also making the trees behind stand out more. Also it gives the sunset effect as if we was filming at this time.

Digipack Analysis

We are going to take a idea from this digipack by having the front and back cover with the same sort of picture that blend with each other, We are going to what they have done with clouds but with a brick wall, we will have them both the same effect but on the front cover it will have the name of the band and maybe the digipack name.

They keep the same theme through out the digipack which we will also do with our theme 'typical london'

On the back cover of our digipack we will have the information like, the songs on the CD, special features and maybe bonus tracks or bonus footage.

Although the layout of our digipack will be different to this one by The Verve, we can still use it as inspiration for our digipack, by concentrating on the pictures and text used.
the cover and back of this digipack is a scenic view of clouds, there is also pictures of these clouds inside but mainly the pictures inside are of the band performing at various venues. some pictures of the band have a caption describing the picture or a quote from a band member, said about the picture. this gives an insight in to a more personal side of the band members and can be used to build their star persona, this is an idea we might use in our digipack.
