Editing the Back cover of the digipak

Firstly I removed the green screen from Sheece's picture and positioned it on the yellow background. After colour grading the image, I made three copies of the layer. The four layers were named and labelled with colours as shown in the picture.

For the layers that were marked with colours, only one channel colour was switched on in the blending mode (according to the colour they were labelled with).

After this, each layer, except for the original layer, was slightly distorted by using the 'Shear effect'. This enabled the channel colours to be visible.

All these layers were then grouped and the group was duplicated.

Using the rectangular marque tool, rectangles were made in the duplicated group, and by pressing 'control' and 'backspace' the rectangles were masked out to reveal the grouped layer underneath.

A copy of the original image was made and brought on top of all the layers and half of it was masked out.

Scale lines were then added on top of the picture and an opaque blue polygon was created on the right-hand side. Lastly, a rectangular bar, copyright statement, bar code, signature of the artist and tracklist were added.

Media Assessement

In this video, we went full swing on editing and mise-en-scene. Action-Match and short takes prevented the video from being boring due to the limited camera angles and movements. Animation, adding layers of lower opacity, black and white tint effect, reverse and repeat effect made the music video look more interesting. Write-on and flash effects were used to introduce the title in an innovative way. We used two studio lights, positioned at 45 degrees from the centre, with translucent white and red filters. A third light was used to form a rim of light behind the actress. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rfe_siD6IE

Inspiration for new song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPmcLzgnlo8 : This song ' BIG LOVE ' by Black-eyed Peas is a song that tears me up every time I listen to it. I love how in this video there isn't one singer, rather everyone is lip singing together creating a sense of unity. This may depict that everyone who (is a victim of a school shooting or is being oppressed by the government) is going through this problem isn't alone and that everyone is filled with love and should help each other. This aspect made the video far more emotional. Since this had a strong impact on me, I wanted to use a similar idea for my music video. ' NO T TOO LATE ' by Lemaitre' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14Go3Jm1knc My interpretation of the song may be completely different to what it was supposed to convey. However, that's the beauty of perception. Thereafter, according to me; this song shows how in life there are difficulties. Everyone goes through har...

Dignity Day Video

Today we celebrated dignity day in our school and being the head of filmmaking society I made a video about it. The video started off with a fun fast-paced soundtrack to create suspense and interest. I added text with a simple question, in the start, to encourage engagement with the audience; which is ironic since this video can be considered a part of hot media (which demands little interaction from the viewer/user). Two interviews were added to give the video a documentary feel. A smooth audio transition from the diegetic and non-diegetic sounds of the interviewee and background score respectively to an 'Urdu poetry' was made. The poetry was accompanied by slow-motion shots of students and lower staff members to give a dramatic effect. https://youtu.be/kzJ9UjASq3c
