Final Touches to the Digipack
![]() |
| AFter some feedback I decided the picture on the top left hand corner would not fit in with the soft vintage style of the digipack. |
![]() |
| I increased the brightness of the front cover and then decreased the Hue and Saturation of the image to give a more old softer look to it. |
![]() |
| I then imported the barcode and the Island Records logo and placed it in the bottom right hand corner of the back panel. |
![]() |
| I used two new images for the top panels. The image on the right was too bright and harsh so i decreased the saturation to make it look softer and worn down. |
![]() |
| I then put a photo filter on the image to make it have a similar colour scheme to the rest of the digipack. |
![]() |
| I wasn't too happy with the image on the left so i replaced it with a more colourful picture and then applied the same affects as before. |

Day 3 - Editing
Day 3 - Editing
Today I moved onto the performance part of the music video. I had to move onto the part after the introduction.
![]() |

![]() |
| The clip just after the fast one was slowed down. I did this by increasing the duration. |

![]() |
| Layering clips. Used opacity |
![]() |
| Bad film effect to show it was set in the past. |
![]() |
| I added noise to this clip to make it look vintage |
