Another Filming Location

As the room we oringally had filmed in was unavailable, I found an old building with no roof in Sutton that we got in to to film.

Though it's not as ideal as the other location, I think it works with some genre conventions as it fits the grungy kind of scenes in music videos.

 

Digipak final draft

I have finished making what will be my final draft of my digipak before asking for feedback on a survey online.
I have made up the the tracklisting and added the required legal information.

Idea for Filming

On Sunday I'm filming some more footage for the video, I was stuck for ideas on what else to film so it wasn't just a video of my actor walking across Nottingham. I've decided I want an extra aspect to the music video - a twist at the end showing that the actor wasn't just needlessly paranoid, and someone is actually watching him.

I was thinking of nearer the end, just after the lyrics "You're alive" and him walking out the abandoned room doors. Then it shows an over the shoulder shot in a darkened room of someone on a computer clicking and watching footage of him. I was thinking of filming in the media room as i could move the monitors and towers of the computer with the little lights flashing.

As well as adding something more to the video it might be quite beneficial as it covers one of the characteristics that Andrew Goodwin writes about when definining music videos in his book Dancing in the Distraction Factory.

"There is frequently reference to notion of looking (screens within screens, telescopes etc. and particularly voyeuristic treatment of the body)."

I'm not sure yet but the person on the computer could either just be shown at the end as a twist, just a shadow of someone watching him; or it could be dispersed throughout the video then the twist at the end be that it's the main actor himself that's watching it back.

On Sunday I'll also be filming more in the abandoned room place to get some footage similar to the video for The Fall by Gary Numan. Filming my actor in different parts and editing so it looks flickery, and also to get more performance footage.

Digipak: First Draft

I made my first draft of my digipak on Serif Photo Plus, and prezi about how I got to this point:

Digipak Research II

Stuck on where to start for the planning of my digipak, I looked at apparently the only one I own - I don't buy music :( -The Horrors, We Are The Horrors EP.

 

         

Also, in better detail, the legal/extra information. This includes the record label names/logos, both the band and label's websites, the certification mark of the company which formatted the CD and the copyright and anti-piracy information.

I'm now starting on planning my digipak properly now. :)

Adobe Premiere Pro

Now we finally have the audio working on Adobe Premiere Pro, I'm starting the actual editing of my footage; at the moment I'm just cutting the parts that I don't need from my footage and starting to place them in the right order and time.

 

 

 

As I didn't get as much more filmed on Thursday as I would have liked,I can see how much I've got properly and film more footage when my actor is next available if I need to.
