Task 8: Digipack case studies

Task 8: Digipak case study so far

So far I have collected various pictures albums and poster advertisements from artists similar to Ed Sheeran including, Tom Odell and George Ezra

Music video completed

Task 7: Final editing

Today gaps were filled with new footage and transitions were added to make the video flow smoothly. 

Task 6: Second day of filming

Due to us running over schedule because of cancellations this filming session was our last, meaning that we had to record the remaining half of the song in one location (Hackney Downs park) to ensure that we didn't waste anymore time. This included the third verse and 2 choruses being filmed at the cafe, and the memorial bench scene.

First draft feedback

Due to cancellations from our actor we could only present half of the music video because we didn't have the rest of the footage. The key points from the feedback:

• The class liked the chosen location for the first verse 
• The transition between the flashbacks are good
• The tunnel scene for the first verse is a bit too long so needs to be cut into more
• For the next two locations our actor needs to move his mouth more so the lyrics he is singing are clear

Task 7: Music video first draft

Booking form

Task 7: Even more editing

Today Mumina organised and edited the flashback from the first chorus

Task 7: More editing

When filming the lift scene as the lighting of the estate was too dim to see the actor and the ISO couldn't be increased or the filming would have come out grainy so in this editing session we used colour corrector again to improve the quality of the shots.

Task 7: First editing session

Today we started editing the opening of the video where our protagonist lip synced the first verse and chorus. There were some parts where the lighting in the tunnel wasn't the same when the camera shots changed, so we had to use colour corrector to fix this problem. It also took us a while to match up the lip syncing with the track because our actor was not moving his mouth enough making it difficult to know which part he was singing.

Filming cancelled

We were supposed to be filming again on the 1/11/2014 but the heavy rain would have made it difficult to film and probably would have damaged some of the equipment
