Final Magazine Advert Design

Above is a picture of the final design for our magazine advert. After doing individual research and developing our previous idea, we decided to use a picture that was taken on set for copyright reasons, but also because it links in with our video, meaning the audience are able to make the link as well.

We used features from out original design, like the release date, the artist name and the title. However our research gave us the idea to add on the website, institution logo and copyright, making it look more professional. Although it is not required to be on the advert, we added the 'Explicit Content' logo to the advert, we did this because after taking into consideration our target demographic, we thought that putting it on there would grab their attention, as the logo is seen to be cool. We also added the mobile barcode, to insure the spaces on the advert were filled but also to give the advert an interactive element and draw attention to it if it were to be featured in a magazine.

Final Digipak Design

Above is a picture of our final design for our Digipak, after developing our first design, and changing the template, we decided to use various picture from on our shot, this means that the Digipak links in with our music video. I created the design in Photoshop and after doing individual research into features of Digipak's and other forms of CD cases, added things onto the front and back like the 'Explicit Content' sticker, website and barcode. Doing this has given our final design a very professional look.

Filming Diary

Above is a picture of what the inside section of our video set look liked after we set it up. We had used everything planned such as the 4 bulb lighting set, the fairy lights, the balloons etc, and we were happy with how everything looked and how everything was positioned. Filming in this bit of the set went well, there were no major issues, the only slight problem we had at times was the fact that because we had put 5 teenagers into a party situation they were getting slightly over excited at times, however we managed to control the cast and get all the shots we needed done.

 

Through out the evening of filming we were taking pictures of every bit of the location, mainly as we wanted as many options as possible when it came to picking pictures to go on our Digipacks and Magazine Advert.

 

 

Above is a picture of Ben which was taken outside on the street which we filmed the outside shots on, although this section was only lit by street lights we are still pleased with the footage and pictures we got as they actually suit the feeling we were going for when making our video. The only issue we had with filming outside was because there were a lot of curbs and bumps in the road, it was hard to get the dolly to work steady, however we adjusted how we shot the shots we were struggling with and managed to sort it out.

 

We filmed some short sections out on the trampoline in the garden of our set, something we over looked was how to light such a large area, however we ended up placing the lighting book we used in the living room in the window and it worked really well as it gave us the dark party atmosphere we wanted. We also placed fairy lights round the top of the trampoline to add a small amount of lighting but also making it look more professional.

 

We also filmed upstairs of the house we filmed in, in the bathroom and also in a bedroom. We filmed in the bathroom to get the shots that will go at the start of the video, we didn't have an issues filming in this space as the lighting we needed was being supplied by the lights in that room anyway, also because only one person was in these shots they were a lot easier to film. We got the majority of the lip syncing shots in the bedroom, we added some black netting over the bed and placed a light under that keyboard, this gave us the dark atmosphere we had been looking for throughout the filming of our video once again.
