Saturday, 16 March 2013

A major problem arose just a day before completing my whole project. Our whole group was relying on me who had the main USB to share all the groups work between everyone. Unexpectedly my USB got corrupt. However, we always ensured to keep a backup USB which was in the possession of Tahir. Even worse of, Tahirs USB broke on that same day! Both usb's were taken to the technicians and could not be fixed. This has been the worst part of the overall project and has been a massive blow and shock to Myself, Tahir and Reema.
 
We hope to be excused.

PS I HAVE ATTACHED VIDEO EVIDENCE OF THE SCENARIO

Evaluation

Today I finally finished my section of the evaluation. Reema Finished her section. Tahir finished his section.
I sent the final piece of evaluation to Reema who is doing the voice over for our group. We decided to let Reema do the voice over in our group as she joined late as well as the fact we believed her voice would be best suited and calm for the evaluation.
I talked about my main parts which I did, including photoshop. As a group we ensured to answer all questions to the best of our ability.
We decided that we would record our evaluation and show it in a video format to everyone.

CD advertisement

The main inspiration behind this piece was my own creativity and thrive.

I wanted to create something original yet keeping in mind my targeted audience.
The gritty effect leaves it to have a "street" culture look to it which is perfect, yet it looks professional and creative.

CD Artwork Inside

This is the inside of the album cover, we aimed to keep it professional, yet simple.

We ensured that the logo was present and a beautiful image taken of Stratford.
All three characters are present also to represent their music. Their images were edited into the original photography.

CD Artwork Back

Cd Artwork Front

Overall Cd Artwork

I designed most of the cd artwork myself. This is as i had the upper hand regarding experience in using Adobe Photoshop.
I gathered my groups images from the photoshoot(s). I also took a few pictures mtself as well as other pictures which were taken by my group members.

I used a variety of effects, as I aimed to create a unique product many of the effects used are original nd exquisite. I ensured that the colour scheme was consistent and similar; This is evident in the final cd artwork. The front cover consisted of the three actors feauturing in the music video. The three actors wore different colours for their individual representation of themselves. The logo which I created - 'N-Dubz' was present in the front cover to show what the group represent. The name of the album/single was written on the front with the impact font. Colour overlays where yellow... Greeen.. Blue..white.. Many gradients and hues where used to gt the exquisite colouring present.

Black line divisions where used to seperate each artist. Unforunetly we did not have a single photo of all three actors together, thus the reason we used solo images of the actors to create the front cover. Our inspiration for the front cover was N Dubz official cover for "Love.Live.Life".

We worked as a unit to create this final peace. Very amazing feeling to have accomplished a music video.

Editing Day 4

The editing process has been very fast yet very slow. This meaning.... we started editing as soon as we could, however, the rendering and the processing of each clip and videos took ages! The editing effects we decided to use in our final copy such as the back stage lights behind Fahmida took a lot of work and editing. We had to find stock edits as well to guide us through the editing. Our final edit in one word would be described as "creative" in our own words!

Editing Day 3

After taking in general feedback we edited our music video further;
We had to ensure to make the story line/narrative clear. We had to ensure that we did not have obvious lipsing errors within our final music video.

The actors were not the best at lip synching, however using our editing techniques we ensured that fast cuts were used to steer attention away from the lip synching.
The narrative also helped with the editiing, the narrative can be understood through the editing we did, it can be clearly seen that an argument is/was occuring.
