Digipak Front Cover

Here is the front cover for my digipak:

To create my front cover, I followed my original inspiration of 'Meat Is Murder' by The Smiths, with a few tweaks. I duplicated the photo originally taken for my front cover 4 times, and only showed the quarter where the boy is sat down. Then, I flipped it both horizontally and verticaly so that they all are facing away from each other. I then placed a filter on it called 'Glowing Edges', to give it a more distinctive look.

Editing

After finally getting my video captured onto the computers and onto the video software, I have begun my final piece of editing.

Difficulties

At this current moment, I (as are most of the Media group) am having difficulties being able to upload my footage onto the computers with editing software. This has caused a setback, and I am unsure at this moment of when I will be able to upload and edit the film.

Half Term

During Half Term, I went away with this list of tasks to do:

• Get my Digipak photos (front and back) taken
• Complete my final piece of shooting my film
• Complete the website
• Go through my Blog thoroughly, and make sure that everything I have done to this point is on it.

I first went away and took the photos for my digipak. I decided that I would use a close up of a part of my face, the eyes. I took a few photos and once I had uploaded them onto my computer, I tried different filters and effects on them ,such as making them monochrome, sepia, photo-negative, as well as many others.


On the Tuesday and Wednesday of half term, I went off and did some filming. Firstly, I used an empty room in my house (with, importantly, white walls) and did various close up shots of me singing the song - taking various close up angles of parts of the face - the mouth, eyes, nose, ears. These will make up the basis of my video, and will be used during boht verses, and maybe in parts of the chorus. I also went and took some shots of empty streets for the short intro (before the singing starts).


I went on my website using webeden, and got the last one or two bits finished, but there was a problem which I am yet to solve - the preious background is still appearing behind my new background image, and is appearing round the edge of the site, making it look messy. I will get this fixed ASAP.


At the end of half term, I looked through my Blog, and noticed that the audience research results and some of my earlier shoots were yet to be posted. This has been corrected.
