Week beginning 12th November

In Mondays lesson we talked about the performance filming that we did at the weekend. We then decided that we would need to change the location for the performance parts of the video. There are two posts linked below here, the first on is on what happened with the filming. The second one is on the how we had to change the location.

Performance filming Saturday 10th November

Change of location for performance

In Tuesday's lesson we started to have a look at what we need to do for both the advert and the digipack. Our teacher gave a PowerPoint on what needs to be included for both. We then got to look at some past examples of digipacks and also adverts. Here below is a link to a post that is about the digipack and advert:

What should be included in our digipack and advert

On Wednesday we started to think more about what we will be doing for our digipack. We thought about some ideas that we have for the front cover and also for the rest of the digipack. We also started to think about if we were going to do a booklet to go in the digipack as well as the front, back and the inside. We thought about ideas of what we would include in the booklet. So if we would have the songs lyrics in the booklet, if we would just have pictures or if we were going to have a picture of each of the band members with something about each one of them.

On Wednesday night we then re-filmed some of the narrative parts of the video. We re-filmed the parts that were filmed in Newcastle. This included things like:

• When Alex got on the metro and his head was cut of.
• Alex laughing when singing.
• The parts where people are talking about Alex, under the lamp post.
• Some of the running scenes.
• The parts when Alex is walking past people. 

In Thursday's lesson we showed the clips that we filmed for the narrative to our teacher. We then started to edit together the final version of the video. We also started to actual draw out some designs for the digipack. We also talked about the ways that we would be able to make these covers and also ideas for the booklet that will go with the digipack

In Friday's lesson we started to make the whole digipack. We have made a couple  of drafts for the front covers for the digipack. So we started to make the whole digipack and not the front cover. We looked at some of our digipack analysis's that are on the blog to help us with the conventions of the digipack. Here below are some links, to the digipack analysis's:
