The Digipak!
Finally, after weeks of trying and failing to upload our digipak, here it is! We are still unsure as to why we had so many problems with it but at least we have managed to get it up now. Using the photographs we previously took of Peter, we came up with some design ideas we liked in relation to Pete's character and the research we did on digipaks, as well as our original artist research like Jamie T etc. Then, Alex edited them on Photoshop and added effects that are also consistant to our music video such as colour variations and lighting diffrences. The backrounds consist of very simple city related images but we feel it works well and looks very effective. Enjoy :)

Evaluation - Juanita's Ill :(
As I have a sore throat I didn't really say much on the video of our evaluation, however, I feel that our ancillary texts and our main product go hand-in-hand. They represent a 'typical' London lad quite effectively and this can relate to the main target audience of younger people as well as many digital natives through the use of different social networking sites; Facebook, Twitter, Myspace.
Also, we feel that our video challenges stereotypical videos that are of our genre or same topic, love, with all the post production work on Live Type and the fact that it is narrative based, rather than conforming to them. This too tends to appeal to people of a young age who are branded as being more rebellious throughout their youth.

Myspace is rubbish!!
Emily is currently trying to create a Myspace page for our Band but its proving to be harder than expected!!
The computers at school don't seem to want to work properly so Emily is going to try and finish customising it at home, along with making a Youtube account, Twitter and maybe a blog site!
We will also need to upload videos and pictures. Then we need to write up about gig dates and releasing the new album ect ect..
Alex, Amy, Juanita are trying to edit the video whilst Emily is doing the Myspace. But have also found that slightly harder than planned.
We may also need to reshot the singing parts of the video, but are not too sure until we watch our video through. However, we do need to film a few shots that we have missed out.

Stop Motion
Wohooohooo!! Its finally here :) our stop motion practise:
Just like the fast and slow sequences, we have lost the quality of the video due to the upload from iMovie to Youtube.
We did this experiment to see how we could include stop motion in our music video. Becuase we wanted to have our main guy walking on what seemed like an endless journey, we had to find a way to make him walking much more intresting... this was the best way to do so.
Fast Slow Sequence
After excruciating weeks (what seemed like months) of pain suffered whilst trying to upload our videos onto Youtube, Juanita has finally managed to upload the fast and slow preliminary work.
Unfortunately, the upload on to Youtube has meant we have lost the quality of the video due tothe move from iMovie.
We had originally wanted to use similar effects to the ones in our sequences and also wanted to experiment with different lenses. However, we felt that the different camera lenses wouldn't really fit into our video, so we decided against it. Where we had filmed Amy in blue in our final music video we made the rapping part of the song in black and white to seperate it from the rest of the video. This was good for two reasons:
- Peter was the artist and the rapper so the audience will be able to easily see a difference.
- As this was the only part where we had singing we felt it was all-the-more important to have this part STAND OUT from the rest of the video.

Our Evalutions
To maximise our chances of ultimate success at the end of the stress and amazingness that is OUR CREATION :D we have decided to each do our own form of an evaluation to make sure that no one is missing out and everyone has a chance to do and say what they like and want to. Up until this moment, it has been a team effort with everyone playing their part ridiculously good!
The video is done and the evaluations to come is the only thing that's stopping up from saying we are OFFICIALLY done. After the video has been uploaded as are our accompanying comments, thoughts and ideas it will be great to finally sit down and say "look what we have done, this is what we have achieved!!!!!!"
The end of the stress with the creation of something wicked. We are proud :)

Day 2: Our Song!
After listening to many song choices we narrowed our favourites down to two, 'I'm In Love' and 'Just Can't Get Enough'.
We then discussed possible ideas for a music video for each track. We decided that 'I'm In Love' would be a more realistic choice in terms of setting and casting, and our initial idea for our video was more substantial.
Therefore I'm In Love is our song choice for our A2 Media coursework. Woohoo :D
Lets just hope this was the right move for us!!

Day 3: Fast and Slow Sequences
Our first preliminary task in our groups was to film some footage for an hour and then to edit the clips to two different songs, one fast and one slow.
Amy volunteered to be in the video while Juanita, Emily and Alex worked on camera and lighting. We filmed in a dark room and chose to use lighting with filters as the main focus in our videos. We also had Amy, changing shoes and positions in the shots to make the sequences more exciting. Although the task of filming enough footage in an hour seemed daunting at first, we worked well as a group and did finish in time.
We then edited our work which was difficult as we had decided to match the edits with the beat of the music exactly. This took us a couple of days to complete but we are pleased with the end results, and we learnt the importance of story boarding and being prepared for filming.
We also know that it is really important to film as much footage as possible for our real video.
