Production- Ancillary tasks, Digi pacl

For the name of the artist we like the idea of the name 'King'. This is a loose intertextual reference to the 80's artist Prince. Because this is an indie genre, and most indie artists have short names, we feel this is an appropriate name.
Similarly, because most albums, regardless of the genre,  have the mian song which would be sold sepparatly as a single as the main album name, we feel that the best option for the 'album name'  would be 'If You Ever Come Back'


Here are a few font ideas that we are considering for  use for the text on the Digi pack panels.

This font is named Universal College Draft

This font is named Old Typography

This font is called [ank]*

This font is called Fragment Core

This font is called Levi brush

This font is called Sweetly Broken

Production update

Here are some more screen shots of the music video editing process.  At this stage the whole video is edited together, all of the Green screen has been edited out using the chroma keyer tool and colour correction has been used on all of the video shots to enhance the look of the video.

Also a few other tools have been used to change the look of the video. Filters such as 'Vintage' which ads a slight diffused look found the frame of the shot, 'Flop', which flips the image round and video transitions such as a wipe effect have been used.
Here are some more screen shots to show the progress.

Planning- Storyboards

Below are scanned images of the storyboards that i drew. We decided that instead of planning a whole music video shot by shot, we would simply shoot the whole song several times from different angles and then decide how to edit them together once we had uploaded them to the Mac computers.

Planning: Risk Assesment

Here is our Risk Assessment forms for shooting in the college Media Suite and on location at my house (Charlotte)

Production- Ancillary Task 1.

Below are some sketches that i have drawn with ideas of how we could have the front cover, back cover and the inside pages of our digi pack looking. We intend to edit all of the images on photoshop so they look as if they have been hand drawn. This look will either be applied to all of the image, or either the background or the artist.

Front Cover

This is a simplistic idea, and is similar to that of Ed Sheerans newst album, +. We will take a close up shot of Richards face then photoshop this so it has a sketched apperance and put this image on a colourd background with faded edges.

Ed Sheerans Album, +

Back Cover
This will be a long shot  of Richard standing against the corner or a buildings wall with either an alley or a street in view for the other half of the shots frame. This will not only look good visually, but it will also frame the back cover of the digi pack so that the track list can be displayed down the other half of the image.

Indide cover one
This image will be taken in a back alley in Clitheroe near to my house. I chose this location because it looks remote and lonley enough to fit in with the indie genre. I chose that perticular camera angle also becuase it adds to the isolated feel as there is quite allot of background visible and the location itself looks lonley.

Inside cover two
This shot will also be taken close to my house on a wooden bridge that crosses over the train line. I think that this will be a great image because with the landscape visible, the train tracks and the hills, this will once again represent the lonlyness and the isolation associated with the Indie genre. Aslo the traintracks will fit with the lyrics of our music video nicely and this could also be used for a front cover.

Inside cover three
This shot will be in Clitheroe castle grounds. this location will work well because it is a wide open space and at this time of year will look especially empty as there will be no leaves on the trees. The pose that Richard will be standing in here will reflect the lonliness, isolation and desparation that our artist is feeling as this album will be a concept album. The concept being disress after a break up.

Inside cover four
This shot will be taken in the walk/ subway underneath Clitheroe interchange. This shot will represent a more urban concept of lonliness. As the links to bigger places with more people are avaliable (the train) and the people that come off the train will be around, yet knowing that you are still alone. The same idea of being in a room full of people and still feeling alone.


The only set-back we may have with taking these pictures is that Richard will not be in the shot at the time of taking the picture. Because of his job, we will have to photoshop him onto the image at a later time and take pictures of him sepparatly. This may not create a fantastic looking image, but we will have to use our technical abilities to create a close enough edit so that it is not obvious streigh away.

Production

Here are a few shots of us showing our technical abilities by using the Chroma keyer tool and colour correction whilst editing out the green-screen. week beginning 28/11/11 through till week ending 9/12/11
