Music Video

This is my first draft of my music video. I am very happy with the aesthetics of the video and believe it looks professional and matches the songs rhythm perfectly. I have tried to include each member of the band even due to the loss of the lead singer and have included as much live footage as possible. I believe there may be some imperfections which I can adjust or change to improve. Overall, I am very pleased with the first draft result.

Update on progress

After beginning the editing stage of my production, I came across a problem with lack of good footage which meant I had to change my idea for my band music video. I have changed my idea to a montage style including the band playing live, in the studio, funny moments etc. Therefore, I can still use my good footage filmed from the bands gig. 

I am going to attend the band studio session to get some footage filmed which I can hopefully use for my music video.

Editing

I began the editing stage of production by collecting all my footage from the Cases gig and point of view shots and imported them in. I am using Vegas Pro 12.0 to edit my music video becuase its the editing programme I am most comfortable using. I am also using it due to me having it available at home which means I can edit my music video frequently. I started by importing the song, 'Let us drown' by my The Case as this is my chosen song and will help me with the arrangement of my footage. I then began to add titles including, production logo, presents, the bands name and finally the song name. All the titles are in magneto bold font to match the bands logo etc. I then began to enter footage between the titles to create my opening for my music video. This is where I came across a problem. There wasn't enough good footage to help me fill the duration of the song. This is due to all the footage being from one night. My idea was to have point of view of a fan traveling to see the band play live and to go backstage. However, this meant I could only get a certain amount of footage. 

Therefore, I have to alter my idea. I have chosen to change the idea of my music video to a montage of the band playing live, in the studio and funny moments etc. This idea was popular in my previous survey and I believe will make a great music video. The montage style also links with the rock genre and it is a common style of music video used by rock bands such as Guns n' Roses (sweet child O' mine).

Below is my first attempt of editing down my P.O.V footage and live footage from the band gig: 

Update on progress

Now I have improved my ancillary texts, my digipak and my magazine advert, I feel comfortable moving onto the editing stage of my production. I will collect all my footage from the bands gig and the point of view journey, to begin to edit down into 4 minutes. If there is any more footage I need to complete the footage, I can go out to the studio or back into London to film the needed parts. I believe, I have gathered enough footage from the bands gig so hopefully no re-filming will be needed. On the other hand, the bands, lead singer has left the band which means more footage will be on the other band members. Overall, I am very happy with my progress so far.

Digipak draft 3

I have updated and improved on my digipak by adding colour and new photos. Firstly, I have made some of the text including the album name and numbers gold to match the advertisement and to add colour to the digipak as before it was a boring black and white look all over. Secondly, I have added my new production logo to the back cover and the CD itself. Finally, I have added two new photos to the digipak. One photo is positioned on the back cover, behind the song names and I have made it less opaque to allow the audience to see the photo however, still be able to read the information and song names clearly. Overall, I am very happy with the progress and development of my digipak and believe its look professional and aesthetically pleasing.
