EDITING

Today Megan is continuing to edit our music video.

In this session, she is editing the green screen section in which she is editing in the mug shot background.

Promotional advertisement

My promotional advertisement is very in-keeping with my digipak which it needed be in order for it to flow together. I used the image from the front of my digipak as it is promoting the digipak, so potential buyers know what to look for. I decorated the sides of my advertisement with studs to tie in our name with the poster. I also added in roses next to the album name for the same reason.  I chose to use this font for the release date as it is the font we used on our crime boards, and I wanted to tie our video into the advertisement.

DIGIPAK - FINISHED!

This is my front cover.

Throughout making my digipak, constantly in the back of my mind were the codes and conventions. All of the features of a digipak were included such as, our band logo, song list, group photos, a colour scheme, album title and also the specific logos needed (DVD symbol, Record label and Compact disc logo).

I am pleased with the overall look of my digipak. I think each section works very well with each other. The main colour scheme was based around both the logo and the dress code for our Scandalous music video. The hardest part for me was researching what needs to be in a digipak, including the copy right information. 

My digipak was relatively simple to make. The black and white images were made by changing the threshold. In some images, the threshold got rid of certain facial features, so I duplicated the base image and edited the duplicate image so the facial feature was present. The images themselves were pretty easy to edit as they were of high quality. The rose image used on my digipak was taken from our logo.

In terms of style of my digipak, I opted for the two discs. However, I decided to make a pocket for the DVD rather than a push in holder like for the CD.

Production Journal - 03/01/2012

In my free lesson today, I was hoping to carry on with my digipak. However, Photoshop keeps coming up with an error that I don't know how to resolve.

Final filming

In this lesson, we finally finished up our filming. In this scene we are using a green screen in which we will be editing in a background to make it look like we are getting our mugshots taken. We will create a background on Photoshop and the media technician will show us what we have to do. 

Continuing to edit my digipak....

This screenshot shows me adding the songs to my digipak.

With all of the songs on it.

This is the current state of my digipak(with the exception of Megan's silhouette), and I am quite pleased with the way it looks. My only problem is how bare the CD itself looks, so would like to add some more image to it before I put on the copy right text around the edge.

My digipak at it's current state

This is the most recent screenshot of my digipak. I am in need of a long shot of Megan, so will do her silhouette once the photo has been taken. 

At this stage I have added in colour to the inside left panel, and also added in roses taken from our logo. I have also used the same roses on the CD. I have made the silhouettes of Laura and Helen by deleting the background and changing the threshold to black. I then inverted it to make the silhouettes white.

This image simply shows me moving the 'Studded Roses' logo and making it bigger.

Front cover with me on it, but I didn't like how small the 'Studded Roses' logo was, as well as the album title.

This is where I was changing the threshold in order to make me black and white like the other girls.

At this stage, it shows the photo of me before I've changed the contrast.
