Music video Editing

Here is a screen shot of our music video in final cut, most of the clips are all on different timelines so you are unable to see all the clips in this screen shot. When editing this in the storyline we used chroma key, this was so she was the only person who had a bit of colour so that in the video she stands out but in the storyline she is ignored. I found out how to use chroma key by using youtube, so i was able to see how to use it and then apply it to my work. Then when it come to the performance parts we had to use colour correction so that the were similar colours because some of the clips were very yellow compared to others. We also used live type to create the title of the song and name of the artist onto the clip so that when it is played people are aware of who it is by and what the song is.

Here is the video that helped me to use chroma key, but they call it the sin city effect.

Her is a screen shot from live type, for when we created the titles.

Adding Production Company Logo to Website and Digipak

Here you can see that on my website i have added the production company logo at the bottom of the page above the copy right, so that people are aware who is the production company is.

This is my digipak which i have now also but the production company logo on. It is on the back of the digipak cover, like the website, about the copyright.

Production Company Logo

The name of the production company which i have decided on was S.A.D, which stands for Sean, Armani and David but it also stands for singing, acting and dancing. Which relates back to the band 'Pure Orbit' because the production company signed them because they are able to sing, act and dance, which makes them so perfect as a band.

Knowing that one of S.A.D's meanings are singing, acting and dancing i have decided to make sure pictures of theses things are incorporated into the production company logo. Therefore there would be a microphone, the happy and sad theatrical masks, and a pair of ballet shoes.

This is my end result, i decided to go for black white and grey because it looks more professional and sophisticated. On the lettering 'S' 'A' 'D' on each of them i done the same letter but made it a lighter colour and put it slightly off-set so it looks a bit like a shadow on the writing.  I also used an effect in gimp which is on filters then on artistic and it is called photocopy, this gave the images a more cartoony look which what i was trying to aim for.

Website update

When i got my teacher to look at my work to help me improve it, we both realised that on my website you was unable to see the writing on the sideshow underneath the banner. Then keeping with the theme of the website we then put a brown box behind the slide show so that the audience are able to see what is says on the slide show. Hopefully this will attract the audience because they can see that there are more pages therefore will be interested to see what more pictures are available to look at. 

Blog Update 27.01.2012

Today we had to change our whole storyline because we were unable to get the actor and actress's we needed, due to the fact that most of them were in exams or where unable to make it on the days that we had set to film. We where able to get all of our filming done today so now we are able to carry on with our editing.

Here are some pictures of us filming:

New Storyboard

We decided to do different storyboards for each situation that is ignored. Therefore when it comes to editing we could put the scene's in any order because they are all different situations but the same thing happen's in each one, which is her getting ignored.

New Storyline

We encountered some difficulties when it come to trying to film our old storyline because with the amount of actors we needed not everyone was free round at the same time so it was difficult for us to find a date when to film. Therefore we decided to come up with a new storyline so that we wouldn't need as many actor but still has the same sort of meaning as our old storyline.

New Story line
Our new storyline idea was of a girl that in school gets ignored, not only by her peers but also by the teachers and other people. The first scene will be when she goes to the cafe in the morning to buy something but the cafe lady completely ignores her and serves another customer. Then she is in her class room asking for help from her teacher, but her teacher completely ignores her and goes and helps another student. Then the girls is left on her own and turns back to the computer and writes 'invisible'. We then go to a scene where she goes to the bath room and looks at herself in the mirror and doesn't see her refection, yet again showing she is invisible, then she looks at the mirror confused and then walks back out again. Then finally she walks into the common room and sits down and she is sitting on her own while everyone else is doing there own thing and not even taking notice of her.
Like the old storyline this will be intertwined in with the performance in the studio, so you will see the girls preforming then you will see in between the storyline of the girl that is 'invisible'.
