Final music video

There have been several changes made to the second draft in order to achieve the final. Simply changing the colouring on some of the shots made an impact on the final, as well as repacing a few of the shots that were too fast and difficult to be able to see. There has not been any additional shots added as we were happy with what was already included, other than replacing Jodie's hands being tied up with Max's hands, which was part of the original plan for achieving the final.

Uploading the final music video from iMovie to YouTube

The screen shot I have taken here provides the evidence that the final music video is being uploaded to YouTube under Fran's Media Studies YouTube account, which can be found under the title 'A2 Music Video - Entinced.'

Changes made between the second and final draft

As we are closer to the final draft today and few minor changes have been made, I took photographs of the last few editing processes to show the difference.
To compare the editing below with what it has replaced from the second draft, please watch approximately 0:51-0:53...

Below, we are choosing to 'split' a clip in to two parts...

Between the two parts of the clip that have been split, we decided to put a quick 'fade to black' transition so that the shot flashes. I thought this would be a good idea as the shot is very fast paced and it looks effective.

This evidences how the shots have been split, with a transition between them.

Ancillary task - Digipak

This is the final of the Digipak created altogether. Although the Digipak was mainly created by Fran, I still had significant input on the design of  the product and agreed to ensure that the Gothic theme was portrayed with; Black and White colour scheme and the location (appearing eerie) included in the photography.

Having band members included on the Digipak too is beneficial to the audience who will recognize them both on the Digipak and from the music video they will watch.

The eyes used on this part of the Digipak are a recognizable aspect of the music video which works well as keeping both products consistent. The disc space on the left is where the album will be kept, and the small triangle space in the top left corner of the photograph is where song lyrics can be placed - which is what we noticed was included in a lot of Digipaks.

The Tour Dates for the band is also a promotional feature, whilst people are listening to the album included in the Digipak they may also look at the Tour Dates for the band, and choose to see 'In Cold Blood' live - increasing the bands fan base and success for future music.

As included on other Digipaks, there is also the track listing included - mainly for informative purposes to tell fans what songs are included, but also as a promotional feature because if someone recognizes a song name on the album to what they have recently heard it may encourage them to buy it.

Second edit of music video

As last minute footage was filmed earlier in the week there were new shots that needed to be uploaded and edited to what we already had. Fran uploaded the new shots that were recorded and edited them in iMovie, and I came in to school and gave my opinion on what I liked, disliked, and felt worked well compared to others which meant few changes were made and we had to discuss together how to edit the music video so that it is at its best potential. Here is the first edit uploaded: The repeated shot of Jodie's hands being tied up needs to be replaced with Max's hands being tied up, however those shots are in place at the moment to make up the time that would be missing otherwise, and giving us a better awareness of where in the song the video may end. I also think that few of the shots need to be slightly longer to show what they consist of. There also needs to be few changes to the colour in few of the shots, so that there isn't too much of a difference between them, which would look unrealistic and unprofessional.

First edit of music video

Although this was finished earlier in the week, I have unfortunately uploaded this a few days late..however here is the first draft of the music video we have created so far. We are currently in the 'trial and error' process of editing footage so that it eventually reaches a better potential so that we are closer to the final!
