Planning My Music Video: Equipment Documentation

We will be using a Canon Powershot SX260 to film our music video, as we used it for the Preliminary Task and it gave us high quality images while being easy to work. This is my own camera, which also makes the recording process easier for us as we are familiar with how it works in different settings and lights. We will also be using an iPhone 6 to film parts of our video, as it allows us to use different visual effects such as Time Lapse. 

Another possibility that the iPhone 6 allows us is the fisheye lens, which we are considering using in our music video.

We will be using iMovie to edit our video, as both me and Bailey have easy access to this software and are confident with using it. We will also be using Final Cut Pro as Bailey is extremely familiar with it after using it to edit our film opening last year. 

We will be using a projector to project images onto the 'artist' (myself) in order to create atmospheric clips using an interesting technique. To the left is an example from Halsey's 'Ghost' music video where projection has been used to create atmosphere. 

Planning My Music Video: Shooting Schedule

21st December, 1pm: 
Travelling into Bath to film Time Lapse and train station clips. 

6th January, 2pm:
Film clips involving powder paint in Calne. 

7th January, 2pm:
Film clips involving the use of projections at school.

*UPDATE* We have already filmed some random visual theme clips as we have had an idea of what we wanted this video to be like for quite a while. We have each recorded various clips over the past few months when we've seen things/had ideas to film things in our day-to-day lives. Examples of these can be found in the YouTube video below.

Planning My Music Video: Who Will Be Involved? (CAST)

Bailey will be filming our music video, as she filmed our Preliminary Task and we were both happy with the end result of that. We have both already filmed some theme clips (see here) over the past couple of months that we might use in our video, so in this way I have also contributed to the filming process.

I will be starring in the video. We decided this as I am happy to be in the video, and this will make organisation much easier for our shoots as we only have to make sure the two of us are free, instead of trying to find a day where more people are available.

We will both contribute to the editing process, as we are both confident with using the software and this way we will have a more interesting and creatively extensive final video. 

We may require assistance when filming scenes with powder paint as it would be difficult to throw the powder, film it and ensure that it looks effective without another person to help us. 

My Album Advertisement Poster Design

Below is my final album advertisement poster. I researched into posters advertising other artists before creating it to ensure that I knew what made a poster successful. Overall, I am happy with the way it turned out as it has clear and obvious links to my digipak, making it instantly familiar to my audience.

My Final Digipak Design

Below is my final album digipak design, and overall, I am extremely happy with how it turned out. I think that the images, font and colour scheme of my digipak all reflect the artist's aesthetic and style of music extremely well, making it recognisable to people that this artwork is representing her. Having researched Digipaks from various artists and genres really helped when creating my own Digipak, as I had a good idea of what information to include and how to choose fonts, layouts and colour schemes. Being familiar with the artist's music, iconography and overall image was beneficial when making this Digipak, as it gave me more of an insight into what people (including her fans) expect from her.
