Today we decided to choose the clips that we are going to use for our music video, we are also reconsider of refilm some of the parts as we didn't use a tripod while we was film the fireworks scenes.

Here is a drawn design of my digipak for a 6 panel design

Most of the drawn image will most be from the music video and the other photo will be paper origami that i will be making, however this is still in the early stages of production and would mean that the design could change as it progress.

This is all the feedback that we have received from the class after our pitch, however we have received positive feedback, as all the feedback comment on the creativity of the music video and liked the idea of the uses of the fireworks and confetti, the star rating that we have received after the pitch was 60% of the class rated three stars and only 40% rating 2 stars.

We have also received things that need developing, such as the intertextual references that we are using is not relevant to your music video and the use of the milk bottles are unclear in the music video.

Target audiences was also commented that the age should be lower to match our audiences and that the demographic should be a grade D to B.

Today we continued our separate digipack for our artist, most of the image for my digipack will be from our music video and some would be origami images that I would be making.

Animatic

Here is that Animatic for our music video animatic

I was given the responsibility of creating the Animatic using our Storyboard that Charlotte and Libby have created.

The Animatic paces changes throughout the song, this is to allow the audiences to understand the pace of the clips that we are going to uses, a example of this is when the parachute men are falling and the images changes quick.

Animatic Production

The first stage of creating the animatic was to cut the images individually

The images is then exported to the final cut program to be edited with the music and match to the pace of the music.

The only problem that I have encountered while editing the Animatic was that their wasn't enough images for certain shot of the music video, this would mean that some of the images used in the animatic have to be extended.

The animatic is finally converted to a quicktime after another member of the group agreed with the animatic and uploaded on to Youtube.

On Saturday, Charlotte and Libby filmed the local firework display in Danson Park with our lead singer Molly dancing in the fun fair, which the firework happening. On Monday I was able to transfer the footage of the firework that was recorded on Saturday night to Final Cut Pro.

So far the footage have not yet been edited.

Charlotte, Libby and I went to a local party store and brought the first confetti cannon, ready to be used when we decided to start filming. The price of the cannon was £5.99 and a large cannon would cost us £9.99

The cost of the music video is currently £9.99.
