Shoot for digipak
Today we did the reshoot using Scarlet as the artist. We decided to only use white backgrounds as this gave us a wider variety of ideas we could use when editing the images. we took around fifty images that we could look through and work with.
Our idea for our digipak is to have different image than our magazine advert, like Plan B's album cover and magazine cover from his album Strickland Banks.
Plan B's Album Cover
Plan B's Magazine Advert
As you can see with Plan B's digipak and magazine advert the colours and themes continue throughout however some of the features differ. We feel this would be beneficial to our own promotion as it shows variation and diversity within our artist.

Digipak Planning
We have searched our photographs and footage in order to find a suitable picture to use for our digipak. However, all the photos we have taken during our shoot are not of a high enough standard for our digipak. Therefore, we have decided in order to achieve the best results, we will do a photoshoot in college on Wednesday 28th.
In the mean time, we will experiment with what background we are going to use. We have decided to use a bright coloured background to suit the album title "Fluorescent Love", the genre and the style of the artist.

Social Media Production
Social Media Production is web and mobile technologies that introduce substantial and persuasive communication between organisations, communities and individuals.
Social Media technologies take on many different forms such as;
With these different types of social media technologies especially social networking in the recent years it has become one of the most powerful sources for media updates through networks like Facebook, Twitter and Google+.
Another great way for musicians tog et their music out there is on Youtube which allows consumers world wide to listen to music from all over the world and to subscribe to their pages and also let them order albums that are soon to be released from artists via popular music downloads sights such as Itunes. By having Youtube it allows the artist promote their music to a wide range of consumers which will can lead to them becoming Viral. An example of an artist become famous for their music on Youtube is Justin Bieber who is now one of the most well known, multimillion record selling artist who started out by just posting covers on Youtube.

Album names
To be able to find a theme for our digipak we first had to get a name.
We came up with a list of names and then asked the people in our class to see which was the most popular;
- Fluorescent Love
- With Love
- Love Drunk
- Frantic Love
Although all of them got a few votes the one with the most was 'Fluorescent Love'
The obvious theme for this name would be the colour way that would run throughout and the editing we will use.

Final editing day
Today in our final editing lesson myself and my group have begun adding the filters onto our clips:
To applying the filters on the clips, each clip has to be selected individually and then the filter has to be copied and pasted onto each clip.

By reading some help websites after not being able to find suitable videos on youtube to help us with our problems we can now successfully apply our filters in.
Also today we are re watching our clips we have decided to added blurs onto certain shots as we want to show that some of the shots are 'memory like' and tells the audience that its her thoughts.
A problem of this is that when adding the blur on some clips its used on it looks really effective but on other clips it shows as a bit of a problem as it looks somewhat tacky. To over come this we have had to go through the clips and alter the blurriness and colour, from toning the blurriness right down or by brightening and dimming the colour of certain clips.

Re shoot
When our group decided to reshoot we needed to make a step by step guide of what we needed to get done. By looking at the footage we already had we knew that we needed some extra footage which contained some establishing shots, close ups and possibly using a Slow Motion and Focus effect that we had previously learnt to use on the camera.
So on the day Myself and Andrea went out with Scarlette are actor for our music video decided to take the camera out onto our college grounds and gain as much useful footage as we could, especially different types of shots and angles.
The slow motion effect we had on a camera which works like this shown in the video clip below of examples of how the slow motion effect works on different types of objects ;

By observing this video and having some guidance on being taught how to use the slow motion effect on our camera we wanted to use it with Scarlette spiining around with leaves slowly sinking into a shot and possible used in other bits of footage just so we have a varied amount of pace so it keeps the audience interested.

Filming Day - Reshoot
Our group as a whole have decided to have a reshoot and gain so more footage. The only way we are able to do this is by booking the camera out tomorrow afternoon on the Wednesday 7th november on college grounds within the forest.
We have spoken to out acting cast and have negotiated a set time when to start shooting and is completely prepared for out shooting schedule. The coverage we intend to shoot involves a range of;

23rd October - 1st Day Editing
Today we started editing our music video and have begun to look through our footage in more detail so that we could decide on which footage to use in what place and order.
Then we began by importing our Frank & Derol track into the sequence and then we started to fit different clips into the sequence.
Our aim for today as a group was to incorporate lots of cuts and fade ins with diferent clips because after watching music videos by Justin Bieber - Beauty and the Beat and One direction - What makes you Beautiful the thing that we had learnt to make a music video successful we will have to add lots of cuts and short shorts to keep the audience fixated.
In the first minute of the music video there are over 28 cuts.
In first minute there are 35 cuts

The Shoot Issues- Wednesday 17th
On Wednesday the 17th we did the shoot for our music video, during the course of the day we were faced with numerous issues and problems however in most cases we were able to find resolution.
Before we began the actual shoot we did a recce of our locations and took photos, this gave us an idea of the shots that we were going to be taking.
Like previously mentions we were faced with problems throughout the course of the day, the first one was the traffic. This was a huge issue in the morning with our main character within our video as she was an hour late putting the shooting behind schedule.
The second was the public walking in front of the camera and therefore ruining the shot. this meant that we were having to repeat the same shot far more than we had predicted, again putting us behind schedule.
Some other problems we didn't anticipate were issues in the camera, these were the memory card very quickly became full so had to wait for a second to be brought to us, although this was a good thing that we were clearly getting a lot of coverage, it once again wasted time.
Another thing was the battery went flat half way through the afternoon so we had to stop filming once again to charge it up in at a near by Starbucks. This could easily been avoided if we had taken another fully charged battery with us.
Another problem we had come across was the fact that we had to have costume changes throughout the shooting and the toilets that we were using were quite far away meaning this took up time traveling back and forth, for example at one location we were 15 minutes away from the nearest toilets.
Due to lack of initial research we forgot to look at wether or not the botanical gardens were free to get into and unfortunately they were not so that location was unavailable meaning we had to find alternatives.
Thankfully none of these problems affected our shooting too much and we were able to get all the footage we need to put together a rough cut and if we find though the course of editing that there is not enough we have already planned where we can go to get some more.

Weather Update
I have decided to do a weather update for a scheduled shooting day so that its more reliable than the weather forecast we had researched in the previous week for Wednesday 17th October.
As you can see the weather for a scheduled shooting day is a mixture of cloud, sun and rain which means that we may have to take umbrellas, spare clothes to our shooting locations. Also it gives my group an idea on what we may need to do with editing by possibly brightening the shots so that it looks sunnier.
