Second And Third days of Filming

My Second and third days of filming went alot smoother than the first. After the first day of filming, i learnt that i needed more construction to shots, and ideas, and therefore a storyboard at hand was the best way to achieve this. However, i found it hard to fit my free time around the free time of my actors, therefore, only having Josh available, I could only get done all of the shots with him on his own. After editing the two days of footage together, it left room for me to elaborate on ideas and evaluate what i had already done, and then create ideas for the shots of the girl and the boy together. This allowed me to be specific when filming on the third day, as i knew what i wanted to fill in the gaps. COMMENTARY

Filming Evidence and Analysis

Last friday, i went out with my actors and actress's and started my filming. However, after leaving my storyboard at school, we came across many problems. I felt that i needed my storyboard in order to have direction and a plan for what i needed to capture. Also my Actor Joshua Rayner, forgot to learn the song and the lyrics, limiting what shots we were able to do. However, my location worked perfectly, and we manged to get some really nice shots for parts of the music video.

Here are some photos of our day filming.

One problem I had was that I attempted to film my female protagonist cyclying up the hill. However without though of the ability of my actress, this proved great difficulty. Wanting a slow shots of the wheels, panning up to her face, it was hard to achieve as Geena couldn't get started or cycle slow up the hill.

Feedback from Poster

'Blurry effect doesnt make it look acoustic'
I can see what they mean by the blurry effect, it could make people think the image looks fast, and distorted and creepy, therefore comes froma genre of rock.. however, my aim was to bring it to zoom into the band.

'Can't read the writing at the top of the poster'
I have realised that the writing at the top of the poster is hard to read, and therefore i may need to change the colour of the text and play around with the positioning.

'Doesn't catch my eye that much'
I disagree that the poster doesn't catch your eye, i think the range of colours and effects catches your eye incredibly, but with further talk with my teacher, i will try and change this.
'The effects look like the genra is slightly darker than acoustic'
I can understand this and so maybe my efforts to zoom into the band for full focus took up another meaning...

Further research in digipak covers and designs

 I will be using the below layout for my digipak, as i am hoping that when i open the digipak a long image will be reavealed and split betweek the three panels. With this layout of six panels, i can achieve this.

I now looked into other artists digipak's covers, inorder to get inspirtaion for my digipak.

I really like the simplicity of this image. I also want to use the idea of not promoting the artist with an image of them but an image of nature, and landscape. Therefore promoting the genre of my music instead of the artist itself like they do in many r'n'b album covers.

This album cover, by the same artist as the one before shows an image portraying peace and spirituality. This relates well back to the kind of music xavier rudd creates. and this is what i would like to achieve in my digipak.

This particular digipak shows great individuality and radiates a sense of authenticity. I really like the composition of the image, and this art of composition is what i want to achieve in my final digipak.

Final Poster

This is my final image for my Music Poster for advertisement. During the prodution of this, I used a website called Picnic in order to manipulate the image, and then further used photoshop to add on the logos, and extra writing for the reviews.

I really like the image i have used and the effect i've used. I think the poster suite my genre perfectly!
