Wix website

I have decided to use wix website, to create my website for my singer this is for a few reasons: 

• Its free
• Very simple and easy to use 
• Has templates that match what I would look for in an artists website

Template for digipak

I have chosen to use this template as my guide for creating my digipak as it is easy to read and follow, and will make sure I get the exact measurements that are required.

Photo Shoot

These are some of the photos we have taken and might use for our digipak and website:

What we have learnt about filming

From filming for both our practice task and our final task, we have learnt that it is not as easy as we first thought it was going to be. Its hard to keep the camera steady, to zoom in gradually and slowly, to get everyone in the shot and make sure the framing is correct. Something we found very hard was the framing especially when characters were moving we needed to get the camera in the right position to make sure we never chopped off anyones heads.
We also learnt that filming in public places doesn't always got to plan and things like other people, animals, and weather can effect your filming.

First Draft of Music Video

This is the first draft of our music video, however there are still a few edits we would like to make.

Editing the video

We used iMovie to edit the filming we did, and to create the film, we worked together to edit the video and choose clips that would be suitable

This is us editing the video on the Mac

This is one of the shots on our computer 

Our video has changed a lot since the story boards we planned it on, for example, our teacher informed us that the narrative wasn't clear our main guy was with two girls and as we used past and present shots of Fran with him some of the shots she is happy and other shots they are arguing, and then the guy was seen with another girl. We tried to make the narrative clearer by taking out most of the shots with the other girl, or as we planned it the new girlfriend, and edited the past shots using effects that darken the light and make it look like a past event. We think the narrative is a lot clearer now.

Also our teacher pointed out that as it is a pop video, they normally have a lot of focus on the main singer, however in ours, she was firstly always seen in the same location and in the same clothing, therefore we put more attention on the main singer and this is why we had to do more days of filming, so we could add different locations, different clothing, and shots of the singer not always singing, just looking at the camera and drawing in an audience.

3rd Day Of Filming

We had about 30 seconds of our video left before we finished it. However again we didn't think we could finish it with the clips we had so we went filming for a third day. This was just at our local pond in Harlow.

Further Filming

We decided there was not enough film from our first day filming to complete our video and fill the time. Also that we wanted to add a different setting to the video, as all the filming we did in London, was on a sunny day, however as the song is quite sad and based on heartbreak we wanted to add darker clips. Therefore we did some filming in Harlow in evening time.
