Final CD pack







Final Music Video

Ancillary task -Website

As part of our ancillaries, we had to create a website for our chosen artist. We went for a minimalistic yet effect scheme. We went mainly black and white, with bold letters, and ensured everything was easy to navigate and find, having different tabs at the top of the page for specific content.

Youtube Tutorial Help

We wanted to emphasise certain lyrics and therefore wanted to add a lyrical overlay. We were unsure of how to do this however, and therefore watched a youtube tutorial which led us through a step-by-step guide of how to do this. 

This was the end result of the lyrical overlay. We edited it so the lyrics only flashed up when certain lyrics were being sang, in order to keep it simple yet effective. 

When editing our music video, we decided we wanted to add a countdown, in order to emphasise the fact some of our music video was an audition. We added this at the beginning of our video, however initially we weren't sure how to do this, so we watched this tutorial: 

This was the result of adding in the countdown. We initially wanted it to countdown from 3 to 1, however when it reached 2 seconds, it cut out and went black. This however worked to our advantage, as we faded it out so the video ran smoothly. 

Editing Process.

To edit our music video, we are using Premiere Pro which is an editing software. This is extremely easy to use, and has a wide variety of tools, allowing us to manipulate our footage the way we want.

Within Premiere Pro, there's the options to add effects through pre-sets. This allows us to add video transitions, change the colour to black and white, and also allowing our footage to dip to black between shots.

CD pack - asking our audience.

I created a Canva which shows our audience's opinions on potential CD back covers and inserts. We intend to keep these opinions in mind when making our final CD package, as this way we will meet the expectation of the audience, while still sticking to the genre/theme of the artist. 
The Wordle below is a range of key terms which our audience used to describe our CD pack.

Filming update 2

It's about a week into filming now, and things aren't going as smoothly as we had hoped. While we created a shooting schedule in order to help with time management and organisation, some things meant we were interrupted and couldn't film as planned such as: 

• When we planned to film the outdoor shots, the weather wasn't what we needed, as it was either too bright which didn't fit out genre, or rained and therefore we couldn't film.
• On the day we planned to film the second audition, the person we had asked to be in it, unexpectedly wasn't in school that day, meaning we couldn't film as planned.
• When we planned to re-film some parts, the camera we used didn't work properly, meaning we couldn't film when we needed to, which meant we were behind again with filming. 

Even though these issues hindered our progression, the time wasn't wasted as we filmed other parts of the music video instead and came up with new ideas spontaneously, meaning our time was spent productively.
