Editing

Today, me and my group are going to be editing our video. We planned to do this yesterday but it took a lot more time than we first anticipated. We used our time yesterday to import all of our clips into iMovie and Liam has also created our album cover so today is going to be used to put our video together ready for viewing tomorrow.

Upcoming Filming Session

We are next planning to go and film next Tuesday, this is because all of us in the group are free and the weather report has given good weather which is what we have been waiting for. We are going into Liverpool Centre to film at the Pier Head so it is important that we have good weather for this shoot because it is outside in open space.

Artist Logo/Header

This lesson I used Photoshop to create our artists's logo/header that will be used on our poster and album cover. We have looked at DJ logos and headers and noticed that most of them are just the name of the DJ and they look mostly plain so I have created these two based on what we have seen from looking at similar artists.

Out of the two we have decided as a group to go with the bottom draft because we think that it is a lot better than the top and it stand out more because it is bold. 

Contacting Revealed Recordings

This morning, I sent a message to Revealed Recordings to ask for their permission to use Hardwell's "Young Again" for our music video. I have done this because there are copyrights in place which means that we have to ask for permission for use of this song. 

If Revealed reply I will post this on the blog at a later date.

Filming Update

Today, me and my group were supposed to be going into Liverpool City Centre to continue our filming at the pier head. However, the weather today is not good as it is raining and it is very dull outside therefore meaning we have had to call filming off for today and reschedule for another day when the weather will be better.

First Day of Filming

On Wednesday we went out for our first day of filming. Here are a few photos from whilst we were out on location in a local park. This was a successful shoot and we got some good clips for our video. We are going to go back out and film next Wednesday in Liverpool City Centre. These images were taken whilst filming sections that we are going to use in the first verse of our music video.

Time Lapse Clips

Here are 2 more clips from when I was out in Liverpool tonight. I have used the same Ken Burns effect on these videos to get the best out of them. I went and filmed these clips based on our original idea of using time lapses throughout our music video.

This video was taken on the Dock Road in the middle of Liverpool.

This one is from Queen Square Bus Station.

I went out with one of my friends who is a photographer which gave me access to better equipment and I also had someone to discuss ideas with as I was not with my group on this particular day.
