Evaluation Q4

For question three, myself and Sophie thought it would be best to do a directors commentary, I wrote the script and we both edited half of the video each.

Here are some photo's that I took of the script.

Here are some screen shots that I took whilst editing the video.

This shows me adding the pictures of blogger and of how we used it.

This shows me adding more pictures, I added plenty of pictures so that there was always an example of how we used the technology that we are talking about in the directors commentary on the screen.

Evaluation Q3

This question was presented in a prezi presentation. Sophie filmed our audience feedback and I edited it. We also added a video of a music director giving us feedback on our video.

Here are some screen shots of me adding the titles to the audience feedback video.

These screen shots shows me adding the title. I chose to use this font because we have used it on our digipak and website.

Here are some screen shots of my contribution to the prezi presentation.

These two screen shots show me adding some of the text that I wrote. I also added in the amber sky pictures to the back grounds of the text.

This screen shot shows me adding the path to the prezi.

This screen shot shows me adding and editing the pictures of examples of the effects we used in the video. I think that these pictures show how we learnt from our audience feedback.



Evaluation Construction - Q2

For this question me and Sophie did this as a directors commentary edited in final cut. We decided to split it evenly between the two of us. I edited the beginning of the video whilst she did the end and we both spoke throughout the directors commentary. I also wrote the script for the directors  commentary. 


Here are some screen shots of the editing.

Here are some photo's of the script I wrote for this question.

Evaluation Construction Q1 - Prezi Presentation

When planning our evaluation a joint decision was made to present it using Prezi. We chose this method because it allowed us to be creative whilst including all of the information we needed. We both wrote notes on each screen shot and then put them together to make the presentation.

These are some screen shots of me adding the pictures and my own notes to the prezi.

This screen shot shows how I chose the layout for the prezi. I did it like this so that it was easily recognised where the text to each screen shot was.

These are screen shots of me adding my notes.

This screen shot shows me building the path on prezi.

This screen shot shows me adding the image of the amber sky behind the writing on the prezi.

Digipak Construction - Inside Spine

The inside spine of the digipak needed to blend in with the rest of the inside of the digipak so I decided to use the image of the amber sky as the background. I imported the image into photoshop and dragged it onto the template and then experimented with the opacity and saturation tools until i was completely happy with the way it looked.

These are some of the images that were produced from me experimenting with effects on photoshop for the background of the inside spine.

For this image I used a smudge tool to make the image darker and slightly blurred.



This is the final image for the inside spine.

Digipak Construction - outside spine

When deciding on a background for the outside spine of the digipak I wanted it to be consistent with both the front of the digipak but also the inside, so I decided to use the same background that I used on the band thank-you's but in black and white so that it blended in with the front well.

when adding the background I made sure that I positioned it so that the amber lights were visible.

I made sure that the font was the same as the rest of the fonts across the ancillary products. I also made sure it was the same colour as the rest of the writing on the digipak.

Digipak Construction - Inside Section

When deciding what to put on the inside sections of the digipak, I considered the consistency across the digipak and website and decided to edit a photo of an amber sky on photo shop. I also considered the front sections of the digipak so I made it quite dark. Although it is lighter shades that the front I think it is still consistent as it relates to the website, the band name and is also consistent with the band thank-you's section which will also be on the inside.

This is the image I started off with. It is also the background image on our website.

I experimented with the opacity of the image aswell as different effects so that I could be sure that I was completely happy with my final image.

To edit the photo I layered an amber pattern over the image and then used the multiply tool on photoshop to create the effect I was looking for. I then played around with the opacity of the image until it was just right.

This is the final image that I ended up with.

Construction of the digipak - band thank you's

When making the inside of the digipak I used a photo that I had taken of the sky and street lights at night for the background. I thought that this would be an appropriate image to use because it shows a different 'amber sky'.

I enhanced the amber colour of the sky in this image by putting an amber patterned image over the top on photoshop and lowering the opacity.

I then downloaded the font that we have used across the digipak and music video from dafont.com.



After downloading the font I started adding text to the image using photoshop. I wrote 'thank you's' from the band to their fans. This part of the digipak will be featured on the inside.

I made the font white as this is what colour the font will be across the whole digipak.

Website construction - Merchandise

To make the images of the merchandise on the store page of the website I got pictures of plain jumpers and t-shirts off the internet and put text and images over them.

Website Construction - adding gallery

To showcase the photo's of the band and of the band filming I have added in Slider Gallery's. I have added on on the home page to feature the main pictures of the band members and one on the 'gallery page' to show the other pictures.

Many professional bands use these sliders to feature their photo's on their websites.

Website construction - adding social networking logo's

To make my website look more professional I chose to add pictures of logo's of social networking sites to the home page, with titles telling the audience to visit the band of these sites.

I have seen this done on many signed artists' and bands' websites.

Website Construction - adding pages

When constructing the website I decided to have a different page for each part instead of showcasing it all on the home page. I chose to do this because it was a more conventional way of doing it and it looks more professional as a whole website.

As I have added different pages I also needed to have a navigation tool for the pages on the home page. I chose to position this in the centre of the home page below the title because it will then catch people's eye and encourage them to view them.

After adding the navigation tool, I then linked all of the pages up and linked all of the titles on the different pages back to the home page. I did this so that people can return here once they have viewed that page.

I then went on to do this to all of the pages.
