Rough Cut

When putting the clips together, I chose to go for a slow edit as I felt the narrative would then mirror the pace of the song. I didn't use any effects as I felt that adding them would take away from the video and the meaning that I wanted to get across. My favourite part of the video is when George is seen to fade away when leaving Frankie in the park.

Feedback:
After completing my rough cut, I showed it to my peers and my teachers to get feedback on it to see how I could improve and if there was anything to add/take away.

The feedback I received was:

• Is that there was not enough narrative and more scenes need to be added showing the relationship between the two characters.
• The lip syncing was seen to be off at times so that needed to be fixed.
• The fact that the two characters live together needs to be reinforced.
• There is a clear story.

Artist's Album Covers

Here are some covers from female solo artist's albums.

Above you can see Leona Lewis' cover for her debut album. As you can see Leona is placed in the middle of the cover and her face takes up the majority of the cover with the lighting emphasising her features. This is helpful for a new artist as it enables them to be established and become known. The title of the artist and the album have been strategically placed so that they are made seen but do not take any of the attention away from Leona.

Some more album covers are seen below:

Photoshoot

These are some of the pictures that were taken on the first day of the shoot. They are the pictures that are going to be used in the Digipak and on the front of the album. The picture that I choose has to be representative of the genre, which in this case is R'n'B, and it has to also appeal to my target audience. As it would be my artist's first album, I would want her to be the main focus on the front.

Album Covers

As the artist for my music video is a female soloist, I made a collage of famous female solo artists and their album covers. I used covers from a broad range of genres to get a feel for the types of looks that are shown and to get inspiration for my own designs.
One thing I found to be common in all of them, despite the different genres, is that the artist is featured predominantly on the front and so is the artist's name making it easier to establish who they are. This is something decided to consider when making and designing my album cover for my artist.

Day Two Shoot

The second day of filming ran very smoothly and we ended up getting more done than we had originally planned. We thought a third day of filming would be required but we found that we were ahead of schedule so it enabled us to get the shots that we needed. Some of the things needed for the shoot had to prepped on the day such as the photo frame of the two actors. The picture was taken, printed and put into the frame shortly before filming the scenes. One of the problems that we faced was that of the glass on the photo frame not shattering when dropped to the ground. We anticipated this to happen so opted to use symbolism rather than a literal meaning.
