Skills Development

During the course of editing my music video, I decided to add in a fade at the end. However, I had not done it before, so in order for me to do it I had to figure out what would work best for the video. The reason as to why I wanted to add the fade in was because, it would fit in well with the zooming out of the dancer at the end of the video.

Audience Feedback on Promotional Package

The information above, is the feedback I was given for my Music Video as well as my Digipak from the peers within my class. The information above, will help me to decipher what I need to do next in order to improve the work that I have already done as a way of making it more visually appealing to my audiences.

I decided that the previous drawn up plan that I had done, didn't work as well as I wanted it to and it was not as visually appealing. So, I decided to try out another plan to see if that worked better. With this one, I decided to go against the idea of using the star rating system, and instead look at the idea of quotes instead, which worked a lot better on the screen as it became less cluttered and more spaced out.

Advertisement Planning

This particular image, Is my first plan for my advertisement. I want to include the traditional codes and conventions of a music advertisement, with the use of the star ratings across the bottom of the poster. The image I want to use itself is a selection of layered images that I had taken of my dancer to emphasise the movement of a dancer, as well as the continual fast past editing and dancing that my music video has.

Digipak mock up

These images above, are my constructed plans of my digipak. I like the way in which it starts off as the photographs being black and white and then when you open it up there is a bold, bright collection of colour. Additionally, I wanted to stick with the codes and conventions of a digipak, with the songs being placed onto the back, middle panel. This helps to give an authentic feel to my digipak as it is what people would expect to see. 

First draft of my music video

Above, is my first draft of my music video. During the course of editing, I wanted to keep it simple with the use of a few overlays. The footage itself at this point is still incomplete, So, it ends at 1:32, instead of the full time. The reason as to why my first draft is incomplete, is purely on the fact that It was difficult to find times and days in order to film my footage. However, with the footage shown here, there is limited use of overlays, which is something that I want to work on for my final product, as I fell as if it will make it more visually appealing to look at. Rather than it just being plain footage with no use of effects.
