Fotor

Fotor was an alternative application we used to create our ancillary products. The tools and effects available suited our genre, and the simplicity of how to use the app really helped. Some features were premium, meaning you had to pay for them, but the effects that were available were varied and there was a wide variety of effects that were available to use.

Pinterest

I used Pinterest to research elements of our genre that we wanted to include in our music video. I created a mood board of clothes, makeup and hairstyles that we could use, and looked at props we could feature. Pinterest has a wide variety of image available, which was really helpful, however sometimes the quality, or size of these images were not good. 

Further Location and Production Images - Anna Hester, Izzy Kelly, Catriona Morgan, Martha Ellison

These images were taken on 28/10/2015, when we went to UCA Farnham and used a photography studio to film our music video.

 

On the day of shooting we arranged the studio to fit our needs and the appropriate effect that we wanted to create for our video. So we used a white backdrop and softboxes to create a softer effect. We then shoot the whole song using different angles and heights. Some we had of Izzy dancing, sitting, standing and more as she lip synced to the song.

Acting review - Anna Hester

On review of our music video and the acting in it I think that the outcome was very good. I'm pleased that we had the privilege of working with Izzy. On set she was never embarrassed to try anything we suggested and she carried out her performance with such confidence. Even when we needed more footage post shoot she was happy to do it.
The only problem that occurred was post shoot. When editing especially the upbeat parts to the song her facial expressions didn't match making it hard to find footage that would fit, but at the time it wasn't her fault we just hadn't planned properly what we needed.
  

 

Least and Most Creative Stills - Anna Hester, Izzy Kelly, Catriona Morgan, Martha Ellison

Least creative

We choose this still as the least creative because, the positioning does not reflect the artists and the shadow is not accurate enough to represent the artists image. Although the colour scheme is effective its doesn't engage in what is happening. 

Most creative

We choose this still as the most creative because metal structure helps to frame the artist's image making them stand out for the audience to focus on. 

Moodboard - Anna Hester

 

Here is a storyboard that I believe will help with insperation when we come to making our music video, digipack and magazine ad. This collection of photos I made together by using a site called www.gomoodboard.com , I got these photos of my own personal Pinterest account. 

I decided to pick these particular photos because I belive that they show what we want to achieve for our music video. The brutalsit architecture and seagulls helps to create an urban theme. And the two outfits, one for the urban scenes and one for the studio is what we want to help create a contrast. The face shows the type of makeup we are going for on the singer, very natural. And the logo in the top corner is what I created for our record label, very minimalist which suits the look of the video.
