Adding the narrative to the main video

Both the narrative and performance are edited and now we are mixing them together

The Website

This is what the website looks like, it's not completed the only thing that needs changing is the video. When the video has been completed that is when we will put that one the website replacing the video that is already there. There is a continuity running through both the digipak and the website which is the  collage background.

Outside of the Digipak

This is what the outside of the digipak looks like. On the front there is a clear image of the band, with the name of the band underneath so that they are easily identifiable.

Inside of the Digipak

This is what the digipak looks like now after adding the collage of photos for the c.d. design.

Producing the animation

I placed all the images into power director and produced the animation into a MOV. file so we can edit the video

and making a twitter like feed for the website

Editing the Inside and Outside of Digipak

This is what the DigiPak looks like so far, all that we have left to add are more images of the band. The front cover of the digipak will be a montage/collage of images of the band. The design that will be on the front cover will also be the background for the band website.

Editing the inside of the digipak

This is what the inside cover of the digipak looks like currently. The photo with the band is two photos.   The person in the middle was edited into this image because he had his eyes open, and in this photo the rest of the band had their eyes open. On the actual CD there is an image of the robot, which is taking up  half of the CD and we are still yet to decide what will take up the other half of the CD.

Editing the performance

Editing the digipak

This is part of the digipak so far. The photo of the amp is the back cover of the digipak and the photo of the band might be on the inside cover of the digipak.

Putting footage on to the computer

We started to upload the filming onto the computer but there was problems and its all in the 'trash'

Editing the digipak

This is one of the photos that we are using for the digipak. The only problem is that the person in the middle has his eyes closed and in the other photo we have of the band he has his eyes open, however the two either side both have them closed. The idea that we got was to crop the person from the photo with the eyes open and replace him with the photo of the person with the eyes closed.


Even though he looks slightly redder than the others it just seems better that they all have their eyes open, and none of them are closed. This will be either in the inside cover or the front, it is likely that it will be on the inside. There might still need to be some more editing on the person to make him a similar colour to the other people in the photo.

Editing pictures

For the website I edited some pictures

Adding things to the website

After creating a rough template we have started to add photos to the website

Weather - on the day

Starting the digipak

This is the digipak fonts and text that we will probably be using for our digipak. The font that we will use will be consistent throughout the whole digipak. On the front of the digipak there will be an image of the band and there will also be an image of the band on the inside cover of the digipak.

Weather - 2 days before

A weather update: Its going to be partially sunny and cloudy.

News Report screenshot

This is a screen shot of one of the clips that will be in our music video. It's a news report, with another news report in the top right hand corner. Now there is a clock in the corner

Creating a background for the news room clip

This is the news room clip that we will be using for our music video. There is a small part of the song where it sounds as though it is a news broadcast and this will be the shot that will be shown. 

This will be the backdrop for the news broadcast. 

This will be the font that we will use for the title of the news broadcast. 

Putting both the background and the font together.

This is what the whole news broadcast scene looks like altogether with the background and the person.

Ideas for Fonts

http://www.dafont.com/

This is one of the fonts that we looked at using. Reason for choosing this particular font is that it mirrors the band well as it is quite a simplistic font.

This font is similar to the previous font in the way it is simplistic. However this font looks more as if it was written out and then someone coloured it in, whereas the previous font it looks more as if it was done on a computer. 

The fonts that we have looked at they are all in some ways similar to one another as they are all simplistic, which is what we wanted to do to reflect the bands image. 

This font was chosen because it looks like someone has written it, rather than typed it but it also has a cartoon look to it. This cartoon look links in with the different shots that we will be seen throughout the music video, so for the website this font would keep that continuity style of the cartoon. 

This font (like the previous font) has the cartoon aspect of it, in which it looks as though someone has drawn it. Compared to the other font (Springtime) this font does not have that drawn look to it. 

With this font, it is possible that this one would be the one that we would use for not only the website but also for the digipak. We would use the same font for both the digipak and the website because we would want to make sure we have good continuity with what we would make. 

This font is in between the first font and also the font that we would most likely consider using. The reason being is that it has the sharpness of the first font but it also has the cartoon aspect to it as well. It also has the simplistic side in which it is not too bold, which reflects the band's style of music. 

Compared to all the other fonts that we have looked at, this one is definitely has the cartoon style to it because the font is a bubble font and within the font there is little drawn cartoons. 

With this font, it looks as though someone has drawn it. The reason why we looked at this one is because it is a font you would expect to see with something to do with cartoons. In the video there will be times when there will be shots with a robot, lego,  giant animals, etc. This font would tie in well with   the  video. 

The 'Budmo' font it links with the general theme of the video, which is distinct bold elements that are seen throughout the entire video. With the white cut outs in the font it makes it appear as something you would expect to see on a stage show.
