What i would of liked to have done

If i had more time i would of liked to have shot in more locations especially for the flashbacks, as we really had to use the college to our advantage as our group members lived so far apart.
As we had lost some of our footage we couldnt add in as many scenes as we would of liked to as we didnt get enough time to film a lot more.
I would of liked to have produced a digipak using more of photoshops effects as well as use the 6 piece template .
It would of been really interesting to find more views on what people thought of our song choice and whether or not they thought we had done the song justice.

Update

This will be the last update.
thankfully we managed to get everything done by our deadlines, although we are missing question 3 of our evaluation.
I really enjoyed creating our music video, and i am very proud of how it turned out and the effort my group members put in

Question 4 was answered by Humayra

DigiPak & ad

i decided to change my idea for the digipak as i ran out of time so instead of going for the 6 part template i only done a 4 part template, i wanted the whole scene to go across which i did succed in doing. Where i was going to do different angles i decided that it would make it to boring and look repetitive. I wanted each image to be in black and white to help show depression and loneliness as well as heartbreak. I did change the colour about to see if it would look better in colour or whether it would look good to have that orangey/redy tinge to it, but black and white was definately the most effective.

Company logo

This is the final draft of my own version of our company logo, i decided to use an iris with " A2 View " by using the word view it helped tie in the iris to show what people see and creating a new look on things.

I looked at using an eye but thought that it was to detailed and busy and would take away the focus on our group name. Having DEHT in the right hand corner is to represent each indivual in the group as it is the first initial of each member.

Props used

We used 2 major props in 2 different locations, 1 being the single red rose which was used in 1 of the flash backs this really showed early love and romance that came along in the relationship.
The other prop was a beer look a like in actual fact its a mixture of hot and cold water with a teabag and sparkling water, from having Dan alone in a pub with a beer portrays a solitary intreverted individual.

Update

We filmed quite a bit today, in 4 different locations the pub, cafe, road and by the pond. Luckily we got permission from the people that worked in the locations we chose. The waitress at the pub helped make a beer looking type of drink using warm, cold water a teabag and sparkling water. We used a single red rose which worked really well for the flash back. Now we are just going to finish off editing our first draft as well as get the animatic finished.

update

We lost all our footage yesterday and had to start filming everything again. We tried to film today but it started to rain heavily and majority of our shots are outside, we done quite a bit of editing today and are going to continue tomorrow, as well as filming.

Magazine Advert

This is a sketch of how i ruffley want the magazine advert to look, i wanted to match the digipak to the advert as this will show that it is from the artist without even having to read the advert. I really liked having an outside image as it ties in with the music video as well as shows depression on the way i am going to shoot it.

Digi pak sketch

I have sketched a ruff idea on how i want the digi pak to look like, i tried  a few ideas but i thought this was the best 1 to go with. I wanted to push across a very depressed alone feel. The top 3 pictures are of 1 scene as the bottom 3 pictures are of different angles of the same image.
