Website Design 2

This is the new website design I've created. Last idea wasn't thought through properly and some bits and pieces did not match to the overall campaign such as the colour scheme, and lay out. 

So I made another website design. I layed it out, added my edited photos that I took to it, added the video, some text and all menu and link buttons. I still used the banner Adam created and I posted his digipack front cover to the website as well. 

I think this lay out is much better because it is thought through well enough and I went back to my research and planning tasks and analysed every single website I've looked at, judging the lay out, colours, content and over all impression of its look. 

My main inspiration was Example's promotional website as the lay out looked neat, the colour scheme matched his campaign (which i've looked at and applied to my own website) and the content was very satisfying to include somewhat in my own project.

Website Design 1

I made the entrance website & the homepage, I added text, information about artists, all photos I took and edited of the artists. I made the background for it, & designed the lay out. I added few more photos to the design and extra bits such as "behind the scenes making of..." and twitter page etc.

Digipack design: Inside 1

this is first piece of the digipack I have done and it will be one of the inside covers. I am also making the back cover, whilst Adam is producing front and other inside.

Individual contribution

The following are screenshots I've done to demonstrate my individual contribution to the project. I am confident I have done more than enough to this project to achieve high grade and I believe we divided the work between us pretty much 50% each, except for few bits I have done extra in the final post-production process where I added few more effects to the video to make it stand out and look like a professional piece of work.

Post-production- update.

For the last two weeks I've been editing the footage & twitching the effects for best outcome for our video. Adam and I divided the work between each other so that I've done all of the narrative for the morning, wake up scene, the getting ready scenes, John back home scene, intimate scene and argument scene, whilst Adam was editing all the club shots and most of the performance.
We are then going to put both projects together and create our final music video by colour correction & effects put on by me.

Our rough cut is pretty much finished and by the end of the last week of term, we are going to have our final rough cut version done so that we can progress from that to our final project, including the website and the digipack.

Rough Cut -individual work.

0:00 - 1:02 - wake up scene, argument
2:48 - 3:30 - intimate scene, morning.
I've colour corrected the video, as well as edited appropriately to the song, cut out the footage we didn't need, put more footage in and put some effects on to enhance the music video.

Screenshots - Rough Cut Edit

 

I edited the first pieces of footage we shot over last few weeks. We have over 60% of the narrative done & edited now. I edited the intimate scene & the argument scene, I completed the lipsyncing of the actor & the shots of him storming back to the house. I've done colour correction that we are going to use for all of the video. The colour correction is inspired by Sweet Nothing music video by Florence Welsh ft. Calvin Harris & We Found Love by Rihanna ft. Calvin Harris which I presented in my research and inspirations. I made sure that shots were edited according to the beat so it is the music dictating the imagery like a music video should do.

Website Design Draft 1

This is a first website draft I've done for my project. I used the images I took during the photoshoot (edited ones, as well as original) and fitted them in a way they would be on the final product. I added a few pages, including home page, info page, gallery, promo (where our music video would be) and contact page.

For now I activated the link to my animatic on the page it says 'promo' just to give the rough idea of what it's going to look like whilst finished.

These are a couple of screenshots I took whilst editing the website:

First Shoot - Saturday, 18th of November.

My role on the first shoot was to set up the camera. I plugged in the battery, inserted the tape, attached the microphone and mounted the camera on the tripod, adjusting the heights and angles. I also adjusted the right white balance for the camera. After I set up the camera, I filmed few shots before we switched with my other group member. We made sure we filmed few shots each, so that the work was divided equally.

We kindly asked the actors (who are also media students) to get ready & do the make up themselves, following our specific instructions as we were setting the up the equipment to buy us more time. They were happy to help and we started shooting in no time!
