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.

First Draft of Website


This was my first draft of my website. I looked into have a single long page that contained all the relevant information. However I found that this made the website look over cluttered and people might feel they are bombarded with too my information.

Day 4 - Editing

Day 4 - Editing
Today i had to move onto the fight scenes. For this i need quick short clips so that it sticks with the tempo of the song and also shows this part as the main part of the song.
Quick cuts.

Adding a blue tint to all fighting clips to show it as dark and depressing.

Layering clips to make it flow into preformance clips.

I encountered a problem with one of the captured clips. 

I had to find this clip manually through the Finder.

I started to edit the projection clips so that i could easily cut the bits i need a drag it into the timeline.

I increased the brightness and contrast so that we could see the projection easily and also see Lily in the corner.

Started to crop the clip to cut out the edges that had a black background.


Anchor point tool helped me to move the clip around on the viewer

Iused RGB balance to increase the blues and highlights.

Short fast cuts for the fight scenes.

Layered shots to add dramatic effect as it is a fight scene.

I cut parts i needed from the performance footage and then dragged it onto the timeline.

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.

I used the speed control for the first performance clip to give a fast forwarding effect just before the Singer starts to sing.

The clip just after the fast one was slowed down. I did this by increasing the duration. 

I used the Soft Focus effect on all my performance videos to give the singer look innocent but the vibrant lights make her look bold and hyper-real.

Layering clips. Used opacity


Bad film effect to show it was set in the past.

This was happy scenes that the artist experinced. I also had to promote the artist image by showing as artistic, creative and vintage. So for this I increased the green and red but decreased the blue. I also increased the contrast.


I added noise to this clip to make it look vintage

This was layered below the clip with added noise and increased the red and green. This again makes the clip look vintage.


This tool gave me more control over the transition times.
