final video filming

Here are a few shots of our actor on the sets.

 

Final video filming - day 2

This is shot location number 2 we used the light from the headlights of our cars to be able to film in. as you can see in photo 4 (bottom) this looked really good on the actors face, and with a neutral background of a car park with grass at the back this is a really great way of using the lights we had available to us.

Filming final video.. day one

Here are our location shots for our final shoot for our video, here you can see the lighting is a massive difference to the draft video.

we used more natural ligh and also put lots of lamps in place, we placed one behind the actor to light up the backgroud so that it was pure white, we also placed a few around the room to bring the pure white colour in.

 

Chosen Actors - Charlie

Our video will include 3 characters, all boys as our video does not have a set narrative we will be using the actors to portray an asylum and doctors. We will carefully pick their clothes and shape their characteristics to fit in perfectly with our theme. The reason for which we have chosen this person is predominantly due to his look and style. The large and messy hairstyle he wears suits the persona of someone being deluded and confused down to a tee. When filming his facial hair style will be prominent in his look also, this is a type of style which will appeal to our target audience we feel. His personality is out going and confident, this gives us more assurance that when it comes to filming he will not be camera shy or nervous when lip sinking. For the other 2 actors their role will be the doctors or security to the deluded character, this is why we will be dressing them in white to portray a pure confusing video.  We feel that they are confident enough to be able to cope with the stress of this video and all the different shots. I took on feedback from both of my teachers and we will not be using masks due to the fact that our actors are too aesthetically pleasing to cover their faces. This will work well still and attract the right target audience we are looking for but with their serious faces will also allow the video to be disjuncture.

Lighting - charlie

After filming for the draft one of the main problems that is apparent is lighting, partly due to the lack of artificial lighting we had present on the day, as we have lots of re-filming to do we are going to make sure that we have alot more lights available on our final day of filming, this will really help us to give our video a professional finish, this is a factor which is extremely important to both myself and Michael. I will be using more lamps and industrial torches on the day of filming, this will hopefully make a real difference. I have also gathered a flash HD camera so that we will have high resolution, high quality photographs with professional lighting for our cutaway shots, perfect.

Peer feedback - digipaks and poster - charlie

Here i have produced a powerpoint with my peer feedback from my poster and digipak. from this i have produced a final digipak and poster with the feedback which i feel i am proud of.

final poster

Here is my poster, produced using Photoshop Elements 9.0, as is the rest of my work.

Final Digipak

This is the digital image of my work, once the 3D cover is ready to take photo's of then they will be uploaded to show.

new digipak

Here i have tried to create a new digipak by taking in my peer and teacher comments its a work in progress at the minute and might still need work.

our location

here we have created a make do studio out of some lights and sheets, we didn't want a pure white background we were going for more of a dirty white and this comes across good in the video.

Own photographs - charlie

Here are 2 of my own photographs which i would like to interpret into my final digipak, the 1st image didn't have a clear enough image and just didn't look professional so i added some effects and thought it would really make a nice stretched 3 panels for the inside of my digipak.

As for the other image of Brage Alpha, i thought the second edited image could go onto my CD cover i really like it and i have used different filters and effects to make them different.

 

 

 

 

inspirations

whilst searching on the Internet i have found inspiration from a previous media A2 video, this to me represents the same thing we would like to do in our video and i feel its very achievable.
I really like how they have done this and we will do a similar thing but faster and not with t shirts just with movements.
