Group Meeting ; CD Cover

In class yesterday we have started to plan the pictures for our CD covers. Therefore me and my group had a meeting and was searching up some online and we also had some hard copies. We were looking at some ideas to inspire us for the CD Cover.
These are the ones we looked at and I personally liked.

Music Video Draft Feedback

In class last week we were all giving out feedback after watching other videos. Me and my group also received some feedback which was helpful to help improve our videos for the last days of editing.





Positive Feedback
The drawing outline on the artist is creative, Add more of it because its good; "More Abstract than just doing gestures"
The colours in the video is interesting.
The reverse shots which sync in with the bit
The black and white effect in the ending was good
The lip sync was good, " The performance was very good as well"
"Nice track"
Negative Feedback
Some Shots are too bright
One of the scenes in the studio were grainy so adding colour filters to improve it.
Add more colour filter in the other scenes as some scenes were juxtaposing each other
Minor lip sync issues.


The overall Thoughts and feedback session was a success because it was an audience thought. It is a good way to help make changes before releasing it publically. With out this we probably would have not changed many things with the video to improve it went continued with some minor issues we had, We also had some great feedback which made us feel happy with the hard work we have out in.

This is the final version of my music video. Enjoy!

Cold Streets: Rough Cut

Sharing Our Ideas

What we did in media today was helpful for us as a group. This is because we all watched each others draft videos and gave feedback to one another. The feedback we got would then enable is to be able to make some minor changes to our video.

Editing

In media today i decided to edit in the parts which are missing in the video. The reason the there were bits missing is because we had done a rough bit of editing and there were clips in between which were missing so i filled in the gaps. I found it a successful editing session as i managed to get what i wanted to achieve done which was fill in the missing gaps.

Filming - TV STUDIO

My group decided to film me today as we came up with a new idea. This is because some of the bedroom studio scenes did not work so therefore we decided to use the TV studio to record as it can be seen as a professional background. We had many different takes so we could pick out which one was the best. It was a successful shoot as we had support from others to help us hold the white background. We all worked together as a team to get things sorted.

Issues Alert from editing / filming

I recorded again at my house for the scenes such as the home studio and the bedroom scene however we realised that the quality of the shots taken were still grainy and dark. So due to this me and Moshope came up with an idea that we should not use the bedroom location as the it was not doing any justice for us due to lighting and camera problems, so due to this we thought of an idea of where to record instead of my house. Therefore at lunch time we had booked the TV studio for a session to record. What Moshope did was then film me sitting at a table writing with a pen and pad which was a narrative scene being filmed for the video. I believe that this was successful because the lighting went very well and the video was not grainy. 

Filming at home {Again}

I booked the camera for last night to take home. I took it home because the last time i took it home to film there were problems that i did not realise such as back ground things that were not suposed to be involed such as a messy wardrobe and pictures. The lighing from before was not perfect also so i tried to make sure that the lighting was more better than how it was before. I believe it was a goid experience to do this again because to me it is a lesson learnt for the future
