Photoshop - 2 Hour Session

First Draft Ancillary Photos

In this lesson, I downloaded all of my photographs off of the Nikon camera and uploaded them onto the shared Media Drive on my computer. I then selected which photographs I was going to use for my digipak and my magazine advertisement, and uploaded each one into the photoshop software. I adjusted the colour slightly on each one to create a more vintage, grey-scale effect which Liberation Music often use in their artist's music videos. This aesthetic also gives the photos a more mysterious appearance, which I think works well for the artist we have chosen as they're quite niche. In this 2 hour session I managed to completely edit my digipak photos together, and arrange them into the correct sequence on Publisher.


Photography - Attenborough Nature Reserve

Photography - Thursday 13th October

Izzy, Tom and I headed to Attenborough Nature Reserve this morning to take my Digipak and Magazine Advertisement photos for my first draft, and decided that this location would create a nice background aesthetic for my photography and create a mysterious theme to the photos, which represents the band quite well in my opinion. We managed to take all my photos quickly and efficiently within approximately an hour, and then we headed back to college to imported all the photographs onto my account.

Music Video - First Draft

The Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition


Editing - Friday 7th October

Inset Day - 4 Hour Session

Izzy and I have chosen to come into college on the inset day today, and began editing at 9am this morning. In this 4 hour session we have finished importing all the performance footage, and have completed cutting it down to use specific lyrics throughout the video where we are missing footage that matches the song, or where we think a performance shot looks more effective than the footage in that certain position. This took a while as we has to make sure the performance lip-synced with the song lyrics perfectly, which was more difficult than we initially thought it would be.
Due to this, we then had to switch around some of the initial clips to fit in the performance, however by the end of the 4 hours we had completely finished editing our first draft, and it is now available on YouTube.

Editing - Thursday 6th October

2 Hour Session

In this two hour session, Izzy and I continued to cut down our footage and select the best parts of each clip to use for our music video. We have also arranged all the footage into the correct sequence, with a mix of highfields, Hockley, Toton and house shots to make the video flow nicely. We still haven't finished editing the shots completely.
We also filmed Izzy's performance shots in this 2 hour session, and chose to shoot close-up and mid shots against a black background in the media studio. We then imported the performance footage into the editing software, and will continue to edit this tomorrow on the inset day.

Editing - Friday 30th September

1 Hour Session

Izzy and I imported all our camera footage onto the computer in this 1 hour session, and then imported all of the acceptable clips into the Adobe Premiere Pro editing software. We began to cut down the first initial clips and arrange them into a logical sequence, however we didn't get very far with this.



Filming - Toton Sidings and Izzy's House

Filming - Tuesday 4th October

On this day, Izzy, Tom and I returned to the Toton Sidings to refilm the couple shots of the two characters meeting as our original shots were slightly out of focus and Izzy was wearing the wrong costume. We then filmed some shots in Izzy's kitchen and living room, of the two characters arguing and playing the guitar together. We managed to film all the necessary shots quickly and efficiently.
