Day 4 Filming!

Last Day of filming went extremely well as we made sure we filmed last bits of the lip syncing. We filmed footage of our actress blowing bubbles into the camera and blowing glitter into the camera as well, we had an idea to slow it down to create an emotive effect towards the audience.

Day 3 Filming

Today I was unable to help Sami film due to conflicts of events, Sami managed to shoot a good trombone shot and also a pan shot of our actress, and a lot of lip syncing, we feel this footage will help us to embrace our editing with for our final video.

Flatplan of Magazine advert

The second part of our Ancillary task is to design a Magazine advert, although my art is not up to any standard I hope this gives a clear idea of what I am going to produce. I hope to have the main image of the artist looking through a web and her eyes will look illuminous and stand out through the silver web lines. I feel this is a good idea as it uses direct address and also uses an image which links with the album title. I have also added a date which shows the release date. On other adverts like for an artist, it shows a social networking route which I have also added as it is the most popular way artists communicate to their fans - through twitter. Alongside I have also included a quote from the daily mail explaining how good the album is. By having this it shows that even the nations popular newspaper supports the album, this can create a nation support for the album.

CD cover pictures

On our filming day one. I took pictures for the CD cover. Because me and Samiyah are working together we are making different CD covers. My idea is apart of music to visuals. In the lyrics its says 'In the web I can see' Using the lyrics as a reference, I am going to have my actress stroking her fingers through a spiders web using Direct address and using her fingers like she is playing a guitar to also relate to the acoustic/indie feel of the album. Here are the pictures I have taken. They are 15 - 20 test shots.

Day one of filming

Me and Samiyah did have to start our filming again due to an illness our previous actress had. We felt our filming was definetly better this time and we felt like our previous filming was a trial and error. We did everything we did in our previous filming but we perfected it. We used more music to lyrics and also got the use of handheld camera in to suit the video appropriately. We did the make up a bit differently as we toned it down a bit due to the fact our actress's eyes are very  bright so the contrast wouldn't work as well. We also had a change of costume with the feet. Instead of the different shoes we are just sticking with the different dress as the shoes will not seem to register as the past as well as the dress. We are very confident with our footage and feel this time around it is much better.
