Editing:Southend

Today in lesson me and shelley reviewed the footage filmed at Southend on sea. we were going through clip by clip and analyzing what was usable and could be applied as apart of our music video. we achieved some absolutely great footage including some spectacular landscape and establishing shots. a small amount of footage was compromised by the weather conditions as we were so cold we struggled to operate the camera and adjust three tripod but we did achieve some steady panning and the weather did as predicted provide a great backdrop of rolling heavy clouds.

Digipak: Analysis of past students work

Analysis of student digipak/ magazine advert/ video combination

Analysing digipak's and music video's from past students work enables us to see what is positive about there work and also any errors that have been made.

 Here is an example made by two different students.
The first example is very colorful and girly. It is a good example of a digipak for a pop song as you imagine it to be about romance or love. The split screen of shoes, for the song titles and the bright colours attract you to the images.


The second digipak in contrast displays different images. The images present a calm effect, as the colour blue is mellow and the spot light effects give the images a glittery effect. This digipak is simple but is easy to pick out the genre of the song and the mood coming from the 6 images. The image of the rose is bold but used as the main picture on the digipak along with the natural image of the tree.

Digipak: Examples- Adele 21

 the portrait of adele is incredibly emotive and captures a sense of passion and pain , it documents the beauty in emotion. This is enhanced by the use of a desaturated ( black ad white) image, this imediately gives an idication of nostalgia and therefore a theme of the past.
 The back cover is also quite emotive, after having looked at the front portrait to then see the rear portrait with her eyes open creates a connection between the viewer and the artist, by looking into the centre of the lense adele has made eye contact with whoever looks at the picture making an gesture of almost compassion and appreciation for having picked the CD up to check the track listing.

Filming: Forrest

Today me and shelley are going to go and film in the wooded area of east brook end country park. we have been waiting for a day were it is cloudy and dull outside and today is that day. we have waiting for these weather conditions as the low light and the heavy clouds help to portray the sad elements of the song, and the inability to know whether it is about to rain demonstrates in relation to the music the uncertainty of the future.
