Continuing to improve

Since receiving the feedback on my Digipak and poster I have tried to improve the negative aspects. I have toned down the brightness of the colour because people felt it did not present the Indie genre. However, others disagreed and felt it harmonised with the tone of the band and the atmosphere of the music video. I enjoy the colour because it represents the name of the album and also connotes the fun, exciting personalities of the band members.

First screening feedback


The feedback we received consisted of positive and negative aspects of both the music video and print media. The main aspect we noticed is our print media does need improvements. However, I am currently confused with the direction my print media will go in; because some people liked the idea of the bright, bold colour because it reflects the name of the album 'colour spectrum', but others felt it did not represent the Indie genre. I slightly agree about the conventions of the Indie genre, but in my digipak was aiming for a positive feel to represent the creativity of the band.
I also agree some shots go on for to long in the music video, especially the one involving the man on the music note book, I will be improving this by re editing the shots and ensuring they fit the pace of the music. 
Overall, I feel our first screening was successful but we do need to put in hard work and time to complete and achieve the music video we desire.

First screening




Today was the first screening for our music video, we also presented our Digipak's and posters  to receive feedback which will help us improve them. Our music video has missing footage reasons for this consist of not capturing the images we need and when we edited some scenes they did not succeed in the quality and expectation we desire.

Digipak development


Here I have added my band members onto my digipak, I really like the visual symmetry it gives with two members on each side as you open the digipak. However, I am unsure on the handwritten typography for the track listing and feel it needs improving.

Filming and Editing

 Today we continued to film, I feel the day was successful because we achieved 3 more scenes. However, I feel my group may need to put in more time as the editing has been taking longer than expected we have less scenes than we had hoped for at this point. When editing the new scenes we were faced with a problem involving the speed of each clip to fit the pace of the music. Because our music is made up of hundreds of images we were unable to use the speed tool on final cut pro, instead we had to cut each image, one by one... when viewing the outcome the clips were to slow and out of sync with the music. Therefore we had to start the whole process again and had to recut each image.
