font

This is a possible font that we may use for either our advert or our digipack. We may not use this color scheme, but if we where to use one of the dark time lapse scenes like the motorway in the background, the contrast between the red and a back background may work well.

Analysis of magazine and for MIKA- The boy who knew too much

This advert has a small image of the artist, which shows that the artist is not the main focus in promoting the product however with the contrast of the black and white image against the bright colour background makes the image stand out. The main image is sort of random images of a child's dream, with the outside of the window being dark and scary with the purple monster outside the window as well, this also gives the advert a fantisy feel. The images also look as if they are from a child's book because they have a basic block type coloring in, with minimal shading, and bright colors.
The writing on this page includes a website, where fans, and people who want to know more about this picture and the artist can go, release date is stated with slightly bigger font, with the white contrasting against the black background. this is used to make the person looking at it look at these parts first, and to know more as they look more into it. The name of the artist is also bigger than any other writing, and in a completely different font, with shading.
The main picture having a boy in the middle reading a book reinforces the face that the pictures are of the boys fantasy world, and the pictures around the room show us what is going through his mind.
The production company is also shown on the advert at the bottom of the page, in very small writing and isn't made to stand out, but can be clearly seen if you look for it. It also states at the bottom of the advert that the CD and the Delux CD are available to download. This lets the person viewing it know that the album can be bought through online sites like Itunes.

This is the kind of affect that we want to create in our video to seem like we are speeding up time

How our filming went

I think we managed to film a good selection of shot tips although maybe we should  off thought a bit more about filming something other than Jonny singing. Because once we had edited it together we realized that the video doesn't pick up any pace. We were also very lucky with the weather as it didn't rain at all. We were one member of our group short though however for the hole weekend that we were filming as Danielle decided not to turn up. This wasn't that much off a problem because we had enough people to do the job's that were need, but if someone else hadn't decided to turn up as well then we wouldn't of been able to film at all.

Extra filming that we need to do

I have read the feedback that we got given on our blog and thought that it was very useful to see what everyone thought of the rough cut.  we still need to film some different shot rather than just seeing one person throughout the hole video. So maybe next lesson or next week we will film some more footage around college and see how it fits in with our video. Also we need to make sure that we sink the music up better because some of it is out of sink at the moment. Then there is one bit at the start of the video where there is one shot behind the other because this doesn't look very professional and it also breaks the conventional of a normal music video. Our group will also be coming in on wednesday evening next week to do some final editing.

DVD cover ideas

These are some of the ideas that we want to look at when we are creating our dvd/cd cover. AS you can see we want to make a simple dvd cover with only the lead male singer on the cover, James Morrison's is ideal because he is in a city by himself which is the similar theme that we were trying to get across.

Group 5 animatic

This is our Animatic. Ali and i both drew the pictures and edited them using Final Cut. The two pictures in the animatic of the skate ramp, which is about 1 minute 25 seconds through the clip, and the view of the cars above, which is about 1 minute 40 seconds through are suppose to represent the time lapses of cars and people walking by at a fast speed whiles the main person stands still.

Planning for filming

we are planning on filming over the weekend on friday, saturday and sunday. i have looked at the weather forcast for the weekend and i don't think it will be raining so we should be able to film everything we need.

This is what we assume to be the official video by the band.
If we are able to do this track we hope to draw some of our inspiration from this video.

This is the replica image that i had to make in a lesson to give me a better idea of what a dvd advert needed to look like so that it would give me a better idea how to make one when designing the advert for our group.

The group

We consist of Jonny, Ali, Michael and Danielle.

We have short listed the songs to:
1.Dragonfly by M. craft
