Blog Update 22.02.12

Today me and my group worked together to create some questions for an 'audience feedback survey' this will help us when it come to answering the question about what have we learnt from our audience feedback.

Website home page:

CD cover:

Music Video:

Below is the questionnaire which me and my group created, once you have had a chance to look a the website homepage, the CD cover and the music video could you please fill out the questionnaire below:

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.
