DONE AND DUSTED!!!!

The music video is now done!!!
We have finally finished the music video, which is a total relief.
I think it confides to the codes and conventions of a Indie music video, it is very simple so i think that might hold us back grade wise as we haven't used fancy effects to make it extravagant. It is now time to start to re-do my digi-pack.

Action Plan for the next three weeks

Week 1. Finish off the editing

Week 2. Re-do my Digi-Pack

Week 3. Do the poster

I have decide to spend a week on each one just so that im spending enough time on each one, which means that they will be done quicker. My digi-pack is what i keep getting stuck on as I dont really have any ideas of what I want to do for it. I want to carry on the theme of simplicity but its just what to put on it. hmmmmmmm...

We have added in some more clips to the music video as there were a few gaps. There are still a couple more gaps to fill but we cant decide on what to put there. We have looked through the footage we have left and it just seems that the rest doesn't fit in so we are going to have to move things around abit and see if we can fill the gaps up lke that and put some more footage in, even if it means shooting some more of it.

The first cd cover

This is my C.D cover but as you can see it is not yet done and there are a few mistakes on it, there is a picture of another band on there and i have put Mystery jets on there and not Fudge. This is just the first copy of it.

A decision...simplicity is Key!!!!

We have to decided not to put our music video on Final Cut Pro as we wanted a simplier feel to it and Final Cut wasn't needed for that. This means that we will have it done much sooner as we wont have to spend time uploading it on there and then playing around with it as the people in our 1st crit lesson thought it was much better and more effective making simplistic. I think it conveys the code and conventions of the Indie genre being simple.

1st Crit lesson..

After showing our music video in a crit lesson, everyone said they loved the simplicity of it and that if we put split screens in it would ruin the style of it. When we done this there were still some gaps that needed filling so it was interesting to see what they thought we should put there. Some people also said that what made it so effective is the fact that it confides to all of the code and conventions of an indie music video. They also liked the narrative of it as they never thought thats what we would have done. We got comments on the actors and how it seemed so relaxed which made it lookmore realistic.



We came away from that crit lesson happy with the feedback we had recieved and had more ideas of what we could put in the gaps we had left over. we was glad that our audience got it and felt that they could relate to it more.

The Digi Pack...

For my digi pack I have gone for the look of old.
With the song being about young love, i decided to make the whole album about looking into the past so all the songs about it and the front cover is a vinyl. It is the bare minimal because i wanted to go with simple as that was the theme of the music video and i believe it would be the theme for all there music videos.
