Extra task - Lighting Research

Extra Task - Weather on Filming Days

The weather situation has changed since we last looked. There is now a slight chance of rain when shooting which we will have to take into account when filming with the drum kit outside and with the   drone we may be able to use.

Extra Task - SD Card Research

We asked other media groups about the sizes of SD cards they used. Reece Chambers used a 32 gb SD when filming in 4K. We will film in HD as the upload time on 4K footage is extreme. So a 32 gb SD will be sufficient.

Extra Task - Fast Cutting Experimentation

             

Extra Task - Morty Drumming Practise

             

Extra Task - Initial Ideas and Feedback

Strengths in are project from feedback:

- The use of teenage artists, matches song choice
- Using well known clothing brands, appeals to viewers
- Good organisation, will make the filming process easier
- Clear idea of narrative and indication of actors
- Proficient amount of planning and detail
- All possible problems have been thought of and assessed

Potential problems from feedback:

- Transporting drums could be difficult
- Location on a road, could be noisy and potentially dangerous.
- Do the actors know there song
- Lighting problems in certain locations
- difficult to make all locations link visually

Task 22 - Creating a Band Logo

Here are a group of artist and band logos I have collected over the internet. These are some of the most iconic music logos and font styles in the world and are so remember for their simplicity and their eye catching design. they often use very little colour to keep them basic and they also use flat colour, i will take his into consideration when i am making my band logo.

                                  

This is the first font that I chose for my band logo, from a website called DaFont. I liked this font as it matches the band gene in terms of it being quiet edgy and that its really close to being a clean cut average font, however due to it being tilted and slightly worn it stands out more. This font looks like it was made to look like a sketch, in terms of it being quite rough and not completely finished.

                                
The next font I found under the horror theme on the same website. I liked this font as it was too quite edgy and thought there was lots of things i could do with this logo when incorporating it with a logo. However it didn't match the genre very well so it will be unlikely that i use it. I also relate this font to slashes or claw marks, which also supports the reason for why this logo doesn't match the genre.
                              
This font, like the first one as it is quite edgy and extremely close to being a normal/ basic font. However like the band it has a slight twist to it where it follows the same shape and structure of something normal, however it is slightly worn and in some parts looks uncontrollable, changing the hight of the font.
                               
This is the final font that I found and it reminds me of bones or icicles so already suited the band name. This logo suits the genre well and also isn't similar to any of the other two so stands out more.

Above are is the flame from the beginning outline to the final design. Firstly I drew the flame outline using adobe illustrator using the pen tool, this allowed me to draw curved lines with ease giving a clean cut finish and realistic fire image. The second design i made using adobe photoshop where I used the gradient tool and two flame like colours (orange and red), I also tried it using ice them colours. I then tested it from red to blue, but finally decided to use a combination of the second and third design.



 Here I have added the font that i chose from the selection earlier, i have tried it with both black font and also reds and blues. to make the coloured font stand out more i have added a thin outer glow to give it a black outline. I think I will use the logo on the left for my final design however my decid=sion could change throughout the digipak design process.

Task 21 - Ancillary Tasks Planning

Task 20 - storyboard and shot list

Task 19 - Fashion and props planning

     

         

Seeing as the song Stressed Out is not an extremely upbeat song and our music videos narrative will be a life reflecting story our props and clothes have to express this. This is why I believe dark clothing is suitable to use in many of the scene. For example black jeans and dark coats will be used in scenes where the characters are clearly visible with high key lighting. Dark colours for example black can connote death and disappear which would be effective in passing our narratives message. Whilst using dark colours in low key lighting can be effective, it can also make for poor quality footage where it is hard to visualise what is happening in the narrative. This is why in indoor potentially darker scenes more vibrantly coloured clothing will be used. I think that if we use this format we have a good range of changes and if we edit and shoot correctly we will create a fluent narrative that is consistent. It is important to think of this and plan it when shooting because the clothing needs to be consistent in narrative scenes for the plot to carry and to be fluent.
