-Editing my Digipak-

I have changed around the pictures for the Digipak. I felt that each image has to be something different and unique to the other one. One is with her kneeling on the floor with one leg out to show her legs and shoes. Another that is on the side of her body showing the side of her face and her unique hair. That middle one of her standing up posing while there is space on the left of her which is where i am going to put my track listing. Lastly the front cover is of her sitting down on a stool with her leg out and her hair different. i chose this image to be my front cover because traditional Rnb artist front covers have a close up of the artist. However i decided that i don't want to do that. |i wanted to pick a cover that is unique but just as strong as a close up image. 

These are the different stages of what i did to produce my digipak, including the CDs. 

-Logo Research-

I have noticed that RnB artists do not really have proper logos. But what they do have is consistency. Their artist name has always been the same but nowadays more developed but surely still the same. Here are some examples:










I want my font to be like these artists, the writing looks personalised to their style like i want mine to be. I need to make sure my font is up to date with modern society as the albums on the left are past albums and the ones on the right are recent.

So i want my font will be my logo.

What i did was, i went on a font website (dafont) and i found a font called Bizarre which looks like Rihanna's font that she consistently uses. I decided that i could put my artists initials on top of each other to give a logo that is small recognisable and different. I also experimented with my original font Madamoiselle Camille which is a swirly skinny font which looks sophisticatedly soft.

These are my ideas that i have come up with. After close deliberation, i chose my original font Mademoiselle Camille to do the initials for my artist. However i edited the font by taking away all of the swirly bits so that it is easy to read and personalised to my artist. 

-Editing them both together-

 These are me editing my new footage. I felt like i had to do this because i wanted to produce a decent music video.

 I decided to do a spilt screen to add a range of different elements into my music video. So far it looked good.

 I took on the feedback that i need more shots of the boy asking the girl for her number. i have a range of different shots that i can and have used in my music video.

 I even took some copse ups of both of the actors as they are having a conversation.

 We can now see their facial expressions to relate more to them during the music video.

 I redid my artist footage to get some more shots. This shot is of her looking up into the camera singing. 

This shot is of my artist singing while sitting down on a chair.

 This shot is of my artist standing up while the camera captures her in a long shot.

This is the re-film of one of the last scenes of the boy and girl getting closer.

Lastly, i captured my singing artist in an angle with her framed on the right where there is black space on the left to give my shots more of variety. 

Overall this editing process was hard because my editing skills are not very good but i tried to invision it how i would like to see it. i believe that i have got a good narrative and my artists performance is believable. 

-Re-Film #2-

Artist 

I got more shots of my artist. i have some where she is standing, some where she is on the left hand of the screen, some where she is looking up and some where she is sitting on a stool.

These will hopefully help my music video have a range of different shots of my artist.

-Re-Film #1-

Actors

I reshot this scene as i needed more shots but closer.

 This is one of the last scenes where  the boy and girl 

are finally comfortable in each others presence.

Hopefully these extra shots will help my music video have a range of different shots to tell the story.

-Reflect-

More calender dates.

After close reflection, i have come to the conclusion that i need to re shoot both my artist and both my actors. i was absolutely not happy with the way the first shoot went with both of them. With my artist i need to have her in more shots and with my actors i need to get more shots getting closer and closer when the boy is asking the girl for her number. The shot is too long and you cannot see him getting the number, all you can see is them two standing there and having some type of interaction.

I have arranged to reshoot. 

-1st Draft Music Video Pitch & Feedback-

From the footage that i managed to get. I edited them together in the beat of the music synchronised. I think that my first draft was a success as i had to develop my ability to edit and my ability to know what i planned to put to action. However it is not perfect as some of the shots are too long. i feel like i need a range of shots from my artist and i only have about three. I may add some more. I do think that i need to improve it by shortening the shots and putting them more to the beat even though the beat is fast.

My class gave me some feed back that i need to take into consideration:

They liked the basketball scene, my use of jump cut and the
lip synching. However they said that i need more footage perhaps to make the music video have more substance to it.
