My Final Music Video


 
 

My Print Advert



After completing my CD cover I found it quite easy to complete my Print Advert as I kept them all looking the same with my main actor as the picture.

My Digi Pak - CD Album Cover


 
This is my final DigiPak for my music video ive very pleased on how it turned out. I tried to keep it alot like something you would see in the shops for Frank Ocean. As i said from my other blog post, thta i would try to use two or more conventions I believe I did this by having a simple picture of my main actor on the cover and various other simple pictures on the other sides of the CD cover.
I really like how well the Grey affect and Orange work so well together considering Orange was the main convention I felt I felt I had to include as the oringal album is called Channel Orange.

Looking at CD Album covers for Frank Ocean

 




 
Before deciding what was going to be on my Digi Pak and Print advert I had a look at some of Frank Oceans pervious album covers for inspiration. I found after looking at them that he keeps his album covers rather simple with just a image of himself or an image of something orange.
 
After taking all this into consideration I aim to use two or more of the conventions he uses.

Filming and Editing

When I began filming I made the choice that the majority of my music video would be lip sinking, in my first day filming I got the first Verse and chorus completed but when it came to me editing it I couldn’t understand why the song wouldn’t match with my footage. This was until I found I had two different copies of the song and used one on my editing work and one for my filming. Once I had overcome this problem my filming and editing went very smoothly and was very successful.




 

Above are some of the shots above I used in my final music video. The lip sinking was very had a took many shoots to get it right as when doing it you have to over react the words coming out of your mouth.

 

Location Report

When deciding on where to film I was caught between two places, Alexandra Place and Broomfield Park's secret garden. Instead of rushing into my filming I went to both places and took pictures with Joshua to see how the lighting was and what location I thought was best to potray my message in my music video.

Location One : Alexandra Place

 
 
 
Location Two : Broomfield Park's Secret Garden
 



 
After going to both location I decided that Broomfield Parks Secret Garden was the best Location to do my filming and Alexandra Place was the best places to get some nice shots for my Digi Pak and Print advert.
