I HAVE HER she said she will do it if we shoot with her braces off which means i now have all my actors

what ive learnt

at the beginning of the year i was illitirate in both the photoshop and adobe after effects programmes. i have now learnt how to use the photoshop effects and how to layer images and leave a certain colour which will be essencial for my digipack. i also learnt how to touch up images in photoshop and clear up skin to make it look better and more professional for the album cover and advert. i also learnt how to use the leave colour effect on after effects this is the staple of my video therefore pretty essencial. at first is wasnt working wll but i learnt how to isolate the colour and the right settings for the desired effect.

i have made this on photoshop from an image i found on google this is the general idea for my cd cover but obviously with my own person. i am doing this because it is somthing that will be realted to the video in the colour effect. also it is something that will stand out on a shelf because it is the very bright colour on the black and white image. also it is going to make people pick it up to see who the band is and what the album is because it wont have the name of the band on the front atall.

i have booked out a camera to start shooting my footage over the half term break however still need to sort out school acces during half term

shooting schedule

– Saturday the 6^th of novenmber shooting in the hall for 3 hours doing footage of the satge sequence.

– Sunday 6^th November shooting in the common room for 3 hours to record footage of the song in full from each member in each location

– Saturday the 13^th of November shooting the footage of the band in the field (weather depending) if it is too wet we cannot because instruments wont go well in the mud.

– Sunday the 14^th of November footage in the cramped small room this is the last shot needed.

this is one of the locations i shot test footage in i took footage in 5 locations and all of them had the desired effect that is illustrated in my previous post. however the lighting in the drama room was uneaven and had dark and light spots therefore the desired 'sin city' effect didnt work because of the shadow the colour was constantly changing. i have remmedied this and i am now shooting this part of my film in the common room as it is the same size but has even lighting everywhere due to a window all the way across the room. however due to it being winter soon if i want the good lighting i will have to book the common room out because after school it will get too dark too early.

this is the working test footage with good lighting
