Photoshoot for magazine advert and Digipak

Editing progress.

The first part of my filming was succsessfully completed, i am now in the editing process and putting together the shots in time with the music. Miss dobs had a look at my progress so far and said that the miese on scene was good, but i should represent the main charactor in the shot distances better.

Mrs D

The font and layout look effective. You need to get the image in soon as it may change the layout conciderably.

Filming progress

My filming will start on tuseday the 18th of october, i plan to film all the scenes in the woods, on the side of the road, the front door, lounge window and bedroom. I will ensure that i film moore footage than i need so there isnt any pauses in the finished video and if the scenes arent long enough. I will then edit and upload my first draft by friday 21st of october.

Final font choice.

I will be using this font on the front and thoughout parts of the digipak including the back and the inside booklet. I will also be using this on my magazine advert, this will help create a continious pattern and house style thoughout the products.

Mrs D

This is much better Drew and you use repetition effectively. I look forward to seeing some rough cuts soon. Remember to film a little more than you think you need to so you have additional scenes to help you with the editing process.

I think you need to make the cuts much sharper here; make the visuals match the music and help you drive the narrative. Also , work on transitions and other techniques such as zooms.

Dolby

Black and white is fine and can be effective but how are you going to 'brand' your artist if it is that plain? and does it suit the genre of music?

I have decided to keep the colour of the font black as my questionnaire showed that easy to read and simple colours stand out the best on magazine adverts and digipaks.

Mrs D

You have some good ideas here Drew. I look forward to seeing your final draft of your storyboard soon. Are you just using black and white on the font for your ancillary tasks?

Favorite two fonts

After asking some of my peers they decided that these two fonts are the best ones for me to use.
The first font looks smart and would really stand out when i used it on the digipak and the magazine advert. The straight lines and the tallness of the font makes the artist look stylish and sophisticated. I like the second font font becuase its tall and it will stand out well against the photo background on the front of my digipak and magazine advert. This font has more personality than the first one as its more curved and qwerky looking rather than all straight lines.

Font ideas

I have chosen theese fonts becuase i wanted to go for a simple, easy to read yet stylish look. This font is easily reconisable and when people see it they will know straight away what its about. I liked the bold tall letters i think it looks classy and wont look tacky up against the photo of the artist.

Mrs D

Some of your ideas are effective. However, I would like to see more visual links to the lyrics and the tone of the music - there is a moment towards the end where you have used a two shot and the tone of the music changes considerably - you need to reflect this in terms of a shot transition or change of pace. Have a look at some other storyboards for help and go back to RMAs and count how many shots they have and how you can use repetition effectively. Needs more technical transitions to get into the higher bands. You have excellent knowledge of moving image and use of camera etc - use it.

Storyboard second draft

After taking miss dolbys comments in to conicderation i decided that a zoom animation to help show how the shot will look would be beneficial as it will help explain how the final shot will look.

Dolby

Drew. Add in the effects of zoom etc so i can see how the effects are going to work. Also, I would think about maybe superimposing when lyrics mention 'you' so we can link lyrics to visuals. Make it really easy for the viewer to follow narrative with obvious ideas.
