End of Module 2

^ We've done a moodboard each for visual style. Mine focused on We found Love music video by Rihanna ft. Calvin Harris and Sweet Nothing by Florence Welsh ft. Calvin Harris. 

^ Adam created the Digipack Influences prezi - I added my own information I obtained from internet.

^ We discussed it as a group and each added points to our idea, but I've typed it up and posted on blog as well as annotate it & constructed it on the bubbl.us website.

^ We discussed the points how to improve our work and I wrote it down, posted on blog and annotated it.

^ I've done notes and took screen captures for the music video "We found love" and Adam typed it up and added his ideas to mine. 

I have completed all the research and planning and I'd say I've done it in reasonable detail. I took care of the main location for the narrative and the main actors. I organised it so they have appropriate costumes and got most of the props on the shoot by printing pictures, getting candles and shot glasses in the house. 

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!

Photoshoot -Edited photos.

I selected a few photos from the photoshoot & twitched with the effects & different levels of saturation, brightness, exposure, contrast and hue to make the photos look more professional. I am happy with the outcome. These few photos will definitely go on my website design which I am currently working on.

Photoshoot = "Pryce Oliver"

This is one of photos I already edited on photoshop.
This photo will go on my website draft which I am working on atm.








I took loads more shots:

 

 

Location Recce.

I've taken pictures of the room that we are going to use as our character John's bedroom. 

There is a lot of things that we need to clear from the bedroom to set it up for the music video

so in our production schedule we will need to include all the time for the set up until we can start shooting.

I also to took a picture of Air and Breathe in Dartford. This is the club we are going to use for our night club shots and perfomance shots in our music video.
