Editing of Images for front cover 2

Before image


After Image

In the making above, is me using Photoshop, as you can see there is a pattern , i was experimenting with having a patterned background. By lassoing the main image and adding the pattern background it did not look right but i gave it a go.

In the making:
I played around mostly with the colour balance,
brightness and contrast
experimented by adding text (taken out)
experimented by added autoshapes (taken out)
Added a sepia colour as well as adding black and white.

I really like this second image as i do think it looks professional, i just didnt think it would suit my Cd Digipak.

Editing of Images for front cover

Here i have had a go at an image that i was going to use for my CD front cover.
This image was not used but it shows that i have had a go at editing.

Questionnaire Results

OVERALL: Many people wrote that i had a variety of shots that suit the style of my music video and song. some said that the weather of gloomy and rain suited the clips well and set the appropriate mood for what was happening. I am happy to say that most people who left comments on my quesionnaire managed to understand what was going on inside the video and could write down what the music video story was.
The only bad comments that i got was that sometimes the clips weren't steady and a bit shaky, i do agree with this, but mostly my clips are good and steady.
Another bad comment that was noticed was that the mining wasn't always in time, however it is hard to get a clip in time with the music when the music isnt actually playing on the filmed clip. I did try my hardest and looking back nearly all of it was in time, apart from a few clips.
I am happy that i had taken out the Leo's part because my results back would not have been this good, they would not have understood the plot, an i do think they would have got bored with looking at the same person on screen (the singer) all the time.
A good music video needs a variety of shots from different places so the viewer does not get distracted.

Questionnaire - I Handed Out For My Promo

Updated changes of storyboard.

Filming That I Did Not Use

Throughtout the making and preparing for my music video i have had changes throughtout.
some of my film clips did not get used and my ideas totally changed as i was filming.

Originally i was going to do my filming in Leo's Red Lion.
However after filming the footage, i decided to not use Leo's at all.

The images above have been taken from the clips that i did not use.
I decided to take out the Leo's parts, to make room for different
clips but this is an idea of what they would have feature like inside my video.

I Had filmed othe flashbacks to feature in my film, but i was not happy with the outcome and i did not think my film would look good if these were to have been added:

The backgrounds do not suit my video purposes and it just wouldn't look right inside my video.
I am happy to have not encluded them now.

Below is an image taken from a clip i made, at the very end of the video i wanted the picture of the 'Girl and her boyfriend' to be dropped on the floor taped back together.
But again this was meant to be filmed outside Leo's and would not look appropriate, it would look odd compared to the other footage.


Although i do think this was a good clip to add, because
it shows the girls hand dropping the picture, having torn it up in a previous clip.

Music Video In The Making

This is the ending images, it shows you that i have added an'additive dissolve' onto the image, therefore the next image replaces it, but you can see the change, it is just sudden.
I like this effect because it shows more impact to the music video compared to if the images relaced each other without any video transitions.

The image below represents how i have splitted the screen, and added more that one image to the video. When the audience look at the video they will see a split screen, this will keep them interested and not to have to keep looking at the same image on screen as this can be boring.

Also on the image above it shows how you would split a screen too.
You would open up more video strips along the side and copy and paste the clips on top of one another but in the different video strips as shown.

The image above represents a tool that i have used throughout called 'Rough Edges' i have played around with this tool alot and varied the borders thickness for more impact and overall feel to my music video.

The image ABOVE IMAGE represents me using after effects using text. Along with having the rough edges, i do think that this looks like a good choice.

If you click on the image above it shows you the effects that i have used. I wanted this to look old in a sepia style and i really like the over all look. I had to mess around with the settings a lot to get it how i wanted it.

Again here i have used rough edges to give a better impact.
Also having shot it in a different place, the bathroom is another way to take the eye away from one certain image.

Here i have split the screen up, added the lip miming the words along with the singer miming the same words, this is a good look and when looking through the whole video with this effect it looks really well done.

This image above has been put over two videos. They are slightly out of time, so that when the video plays they intersect each other and it sets a sense of lagging. I like the colour effects on here too, the sepia looks like it suits the image. Also i have added 'noise alpha' to give another texture to the piece.

The image of the girl singing represents the amount of hue, saturation and contrast on this image. I have also added a sepia look throughout the singer parts. I really think that the image looks much better with all the effects on it, rather than leaving it to its normal image.

The image above is one of the first images that you see in the music video. I like the way this has been shot, with the bench in the corner and the lighting works brilliantly.

This is my overall timeline you can see the amount of cuts i have done throughout. This was so my video was exactly how i wanted it, with the flashings of different shots.
Also shows where i have cut the song up so that it fits in with my clips.
