Final Music Video

4.How did you use media terminologies in the construction and research. planning and evaluation stages.

Media terminology of using the figrig in the production of My Music Video 

The figrig is a technology that can be used to film shots of the camera moving in time or following the movements of the characters on screen. I used the figrig so that I could  film Grace tidying up the 'living room' set, the figrig allowed me to track her movements by walking slowly and filming her pacing back and forth. In addition, the figrig made it possible to get moving shots such as up and down shots of  Grace picking something off the floor. 

Media terminology of using the crane in the production of My Music Video

The video camera is at the far end of the crane, the person filming stands at the other end of the crane, where there are two pieces of metal.

To film whilst using the crane (to get moving shots) I had to move the metal handles in opposite directions for example I would have to move one handle upwards and the other downwards.  The crane helped to achieve moving shots without a 'shaking' camera or wobbling shots. It made it possible to have smooth panning shots. 

Media terminology of using  Photoshop in the construction of both advert and digipack. 

How to Use PhotoShop  This is the test digipack my group created using Photoshop.

and my final digipack;

Photoshop was the only application my group used in the production of both my advert and digipack. Even though we used a camera to take the photos, photoshop still proved to be the major contributor to the production of my ancillary. Photoshop was used to download fonts and insert important texts for example album name 'moral panic' and song titles. In addition to creating the template needed for the digipack to look like a real CD cover. Along with having the ability to contrast, brighten and change the quality of the picture. 

Media terminology of using Chromokey in construction

How to Use Chromokey This is the video that my group made using Chroma key.

Media terminology of using final cut in the representation of  evaluation

I upload a video of me discussing my evaluation aswell as  my digipack image, advert and music video on to the final cut. Then I clicked the box at the top of the screen, then options will be displayed and then I clicked on 'image wineframe'.

 Then I moved footage around the screen, as shown in the screen-grabs below. The blue box around the picture shows the 'footage' that I am trying to move or resize. The screen-grabs below demonstrate how I moved the picture from top right to bottom left.

The screengrabs below demonstrate how I used the blue box to make footage larger than its original size. I    put my arrow (the mouse) in the corner of the blue box then I dragged the corner further out which made the picture larger.

I used this method on final cut to enable me to have footage of me talking to reveal to the audience that the points I am making are my own points and  makes it easier for the audience to understand my view. Having parts of  final product for example my advert, lets the audience see the evidence that backs up my point for example I discuss the font of my advert and use final cut to have the advert on screen while I discuss the font. This allows the viewer to see the advert and compare my points as I discuss them, the viewer can see for themselves whether my view of the 'font' is evident in the advert.

Creating the narrative Scenes of my Music Video

This is the location where I filmed my narrative scenes for my music video.(draft 2 and final draft)

This is how me and my group (Matthew and Grace) prepared our location to fit the themes of our narrative. Though we already had the sofa and table, the location still looked empty, it didn't look quite like a home. So we decided to have a green wall (prop) which had a window, to make it look more realistic as an indoor setting. We put a rug into the sitting room and a jug of flowers on the table to make it look comfortable so that it can be easily relatable and recognized as the living room.

This is me, Grace and Matthew filming our narrative scenes.

These are some pictures of how I laid out the props (sofa and table) to see if it could look like an indoor setting. It did do so quite successfully, the sofa helped make the location look like a sitting room.

Tribal design for Adverisement draft 2

From our feedback we discovered that we needed to connect our background to our artist by having an Aztec style background because the dark blue background was too plain and lacked relevance to our genre. 
Searching images on google we came across different Aztec style patterns, we then looked for one that best suited our advertisement. (This is the image below)

 We are not allowed to use it because it is not our idea so we used it to inspire our own drawing, our own Aztec drawing. Which we may use as our background for advertisement.

Our Drawings 

Then we experimented with our advert design to see if the tribal designs looked good with our picture. 

 However, we weren't pleased with it because it looked childish and looked more like a sketch than an actual advertisement.
