Making the Album - 3

For several lessons I have had a problem with my original front cover photo mainly because of issues with font and how to apply it in the way I originally wanted to. So luckily I found a photo I took of Niah looking at a Kings Cross sign and altered it so that the sign would state "Bets on You Niah". This was ideal as the sign looked fairly two dimensional in the photo which meant that I didn't need to alter the lettering in order for it to look like its on the wall. It took a lot of time trying to rub out the Kings Cross sign as I found that the shade of brown surrounding the sign changing ever so slightly which meant that colouring over it with one shade looked too obvious. Instead I copied sections of brown that was on both sides of the sign and used that to cover over it, of course I had to apply a bit of the brush so it would blend but luckily it looked authentic. After that I placed my text over it, I used two text boxes as i wanted the title of the album and my artists name to be different sizes. Now I can apply it to my front cover but first I need to crop the image so it's in the shape of a polaroid photo

Audience Theory - Jeremy Tunstall

Image
In class today we learnt about audience in the general media and we came across the audience theory created by Jeremy Tunstall.  His theory is the idea that all texts have preferred audiences as well as additional audiences which can be engaged. Here are some of the classes  of audience: Primary audience        Watching films in a cinema involves a primary mode of audience engagement as the spectator is immersed with the narrative.  So for your primary, target audience they will have bought the song/downloaded it and will consume your text in this way. Secondary audience        While watching a programme at home on television may involve eating a meal at the same time, texting, using social media or other additional activities. Your secondary audience may be interested, but they haven’t bought the single. Tertiary audience        Tertiary audience engagement is using the text as background media like ...

Music video- Actress problem

Image
Today my group had a big problem involving our actress for the music video. Our main choice Mia just told us that she doesn't want to do the video anymore. Of course this was a big problem as it was very unexpected and so close to our filming date. We need to find a replacement actress on a very short notice or else we can't film at all.

Music Video - Fourth day shooting

Image
On the fourth day of filming we went to my schools music department and shot in just one room in  which had all the technical equipment that we wanted to use and play with. This was a new scene we wanted to film so wasn't in our original storyboards. We wanted to use this room for a scene where Niah's supposed boyfriend in the video is making her the song. Niah wasn't needed in the scene, we just used one member of our team to act. We mainly focus on his hands fiddling with the dashboard other devices around the room. The difficulty was mainly in some of the movement in the shots as the gimble wasn't available so we use a shoulder mount instead using the cameras handheld. So scenes such as the boyfriend walking into the music room was hard as we wanted to follow behind him whilst doing it. Since it was a bit dark we also used some lighting from around the room and one of our hand held lights to cover the scene. Other than that it was mainly still shots of bli...
