Recent Changes

We have decided to re-film the Piano scene tomorrow, as there will be issues regarding the Great Hall since there's a potential clash.

Today we made a rough model of our digipak, and have decided that it would be a six-panelled digipak. One main point we all had different views on was whether the album title or the artist's name would be in bigger print on the album cover. Eventually, we decided on the artist's name being in a slightly bigger, more significant font as it is Jessica York's debut album, so the name and the photo is something that would appeal to the audience as it would be something memorable.

We as a group have decided that we need more footage of scenery shots, anything besides Jessica because all the six locations we have used mainly consist of static shots of Jessica. Of course we have used a few varied shots, but after reviewing artists whp play the piano in their music videos, artists like Delta Goodrem and Tori AMos, we have reviewed the difference between the shots used and the shots we have used - and there's a big difference. So, we drew up a list of the shots we're going to do during tomorrow's filming and it consists of a few smooth side to side pans of Jessica at the piano and possibly a long/medium shot of her profile at the piano. This idea we took from the Delta Goodrem video, however it's something we'll need to figure out well because we can't afford to get any of the background in because it's not something we can edit out.

Lastly, I woke up early yesterday morning and set my video camera on top of the dustbin outside my front door and filmed the sun rising, but the sun wasn't visible, only some pink in the sky could be seen. The first five minutes of the shot included trains going past and a few birds; however i was not satisfied with the train being in the shot, so i re-positioned the camera, tilting it further upwards so that I had a half hours worth of footage of the sky, so it's a potential time passing shot. A shot we could fast forward into a few seconds to show the passing of time within the music video, and adding to the change in location.
