Tracklist For DigiPak

I have put together a list of songs from my chosen genre by looking through albums off bands by browsing through Spotify. Looking at the related artists was also really handy to find track names of the same genre, The name of the song in my video is 'Chemicals' so this is obviously being included. I have looked at songs by the likes of Bastille, Vampire Weekend and Arcade Fire, The 1975, Ed Sheeran etc.

Here is my final list for the back of my digipak:

1.Chemicals
2.Unbelievers
3.These Streets
4.Wake Up
5.Thinking Out Loud
6.Little Secrets
7.Did You Hear The Rain?
8. Another Love
9.Robbers
10.Girls
11.Out Of Control
12.I Want It All

Another Improved Rough Cut

Changing the font on my video

The original font on my typography throughout my video wasn't intended to be the final font. I have kept it till nearer the end to change and play around with certain font styles to see which one is perfect for my video. I wanted a block, simple text that was similar to my album font just to continue the simple effect. However, the text I used to begin with was not at all like this and wasn't very effective at all. The appearance wasn't slick or professional, and this is required for it to look as real and professional as it can be. I altered the size and position of the text so that it was horizontally and vertically centre on each shot.

Below I have screen-shot the change in the texts that I chose before and now:

Re-shooting bedroom scenes

As pointed out by my teacher, the shots of myself at 00:57, 01:00 and 01:02 are out of focus so I re shot them today so that the quality was clearer. Luckily the lighting is very similar as the weather is the same as the day I shot last time so It should not ruin any continuity. I used my tripod to act as the viewpoint of the male character and hopefully this will pull off. 

Chemicals- Rough Cut

I have been steadily editing my music video and have come to this rough cut. I have only got 5 seconds to add footage to and then all of my clips will be inserted into the video. There is a few more thins that I need to tweak, such as the typography and the filtering that I want to add to a selection of shots, to allow a difference in appearance for the narrative parts from the performance parts. There is also some shots that I want to shorten or cut out and the editing to the beat at the beginning needs to be tightened. Then i should be finished, after half term, i will focus on getting this finished as soon as possible as it should not take much time now to finalise.

Filming bits and bobs/re-shooting

This weekend I used the time with Josh wisely and took the opportunity to film tiny shots that i need to fill the spaces in my video. I also decided to re shoot the dinner scene as the last time I attempted it, it was too dark and the quality was not up to scratch. I filmed this at night time last time so to avoid the same mistakes again, i chose to film in the day time so that the room was light enough and wouldn't have a dark image quality.

Here you can see the huge difference in quality and how this will much better for my video and I will be adding this into my video this week. The light has improved drastically and I am really happy with this outcome.

I also shot some arguing scenes that last a few seconds long as I decided to add more argument scenes in my project to edit to the beat and have more of a variety.

Digi-pak update

I have almost finished my Digi-Pak final design and I am now selecting song lyrics for my track listing on the back. I have decided to use a white font for my track list to continues the same effect throughout as the front font colour. For my choice of songs I am going t choose different tracks from certain albums within my genre that I have researched and add them to the list including the name f the track on my music video. I am now going to finalize my tracks and I ill upload the list that I have created before adding them to the back of my digi-pak design.
