Shoot 3

For shoot 3 we ended up filming in Ilkley instead of Leeds due to the poor weather conditions leaning that it was hard for us to get to Leeds so we had to make do with the locations that we already had which was Ilkley however we shot some good footage and managed to manipulate the film that we got and took to create.

On this shoot we gathered footage for the scenes of the park scenes and the town scenes for this we needed the main character to come and help us out however we had to change the character due to the original one not being able to help us out due to other commitments in school. The new character was the same sort of build and height so it worked out well however you can tell by the way the characters walk that it is a different.

Another problem which we came up against was the fact that we didn't have a tripod in this shoot so most of the shots were shaky but we have edified this footage well so it now looks like there isn't any shaky cam footage at all. Also another good point was that we managed to get a lot of footage which shows more variety in our work so it helped the continuity of the music video and achieves verisimilitude.

Digipak General Conventions

Oasis DigiPak

A Digipak is a patented style of CD or DVD packaging, and is a registered trademark of AGI-Shorewood, an Atlas Holdings LLC company.

Looking at a few examples of the digipak the oasis one has 3 inner panels and a front and a back panel, this is a complicated type of digipak but is very achievable in what we want to do, However choosing the correct and appropriate images for these panels is key if the digipak is to do its job by promoting the CD

Conventional DigiPak

This DigiPak is the more conventional one where by it only has 2 inside panels and a front and back panel which has usually a picture on the front which is then either continued on the back or is of another view of the front picture an example of this is the Native Woodlands Digipak below where by the wooded area picture on the front continues onto the back 

Common features in these 2 panel digipaks are the related images to the music video or one of the songs usually the main song or the most know song for that artist. Also another key common convention would be that inside is another picture which runs over both of the panels or just the left hand panel. Sometimes there is even a booklet or pull out sleeve which has the lyrics on it and a bit more information about the songs and the artists.






Also a common convention which you will usually see on the back of the digipak cover is a barcode which is for the sale of the digipak and this is seen on almost every cover. A barcode is an optical machine-readable bit of data which is scanned by the varying the widths and spacings of the parallel lines.

Creative Arts Evening Viral Video

During this creative arts evening we decided to create a viral video for our music vid in doing this we would be able to gain a wider audience and therefore gain more feedback and views for our main video as a result. Also this viral video would help us with the research and planning for our main video.

How we went about doing this was that we had set up a green screen in one of our classrooms in school which was done with green card sheets. Then we had a camera set up so that the green screen was in the whole frame.We got lots of people from our school on the night to stand in front of the camera and dance to our track which was on some speakers in the back ground.

When all the footage was shot we then edited the footage into our viral video sequence which was done in final cut pro a programme which allows you to edit footage of anything. We added many effects where by we took pictures and added them into the background of the footage which made it look like the people were actually at the scenes on screen.

Here is our Viral Video:
