Digipack finished

The digipack is finally finished now all that is left to do is upload it to our blog. We was able to get the effect we was after using photoshop which allowed us to edit the picture to how we wanted. Photoshop allows people to manipulate a picture to how they want. The picture below has been manipulated using photoshop.

From the making of the music video I have learnt how to use new technologies such as a new hd camera and I have also learnt how to use new software such as final cut express. Overall I was able to increase my understanding of different technologies as I was able to use some of the same technology that I used to create my thriller work.

From the preliminary task I feel I have learnt how to lip sync correctly, I am now able to make the lip syncing coincide with the song correctly making it look fluent and like it is actually being sung. Also I have now learnt how to use final cut express as we used this to piece all our music video, I have found out that it allows you to do more on it than what we was able to do for our thriller coursework. With final cut express we was able to test certain things to what we could do with it we was able to do new things such as split screening the shots which meant we could have two people singing side by side on the screen making it look like they were singing to each other. As we were using final cut express we was always trying out new things to see what we could do with the video.

Music video finished

The music video is finally finished the last few bit was edited and put in. All that needed doing was editing bits into the fight scene like kapow, sploosh, wham and woosh this would help make the music video have a comic effect to it we also used the idea from 1960 batman which consisted of comic words when a punch was thrown at another person.

Wordle

this is a wordle, wordle consists of words that are common on my blog. I pasted a bunch of text taken from my blog which then created this word cloud which will help to make my blog look more colourful.

Emailing the artist

Andrew recently emailed Duane, who is a member of the band 22nd Century. They are the artist who's song we are using. we emailed him just to update him on the current progress of our music video and that we have nearly finished the video. When emailed him the first time he was excited to hear us to do a video using his song he asked us to email him personally if we were in need of any help. He also said if we were to upload it onto our personal Youtube accounts, too give them credit for the song and link the bands website. In return he said he would promote the video on the website so it could get more views, and a lot of views on Youtube was one of the success criteria for a music video so this would help our video to be a success.

Extension

We have had our time extended by the teachers in which we have till the end of term to get the music video, digipack and poster completed. We have both lessons and our own time get this finished by in which I think we will.

The audience theory - The Bobo Doll experiment

The Bobo doll experiment was the name of two experiments conducted by Albert Bandura in 1966.



The bobo doll experiment is a very controversial piece of research that proved that children copy violent behaviour.

The idea was children watched a video where an adult violently attacked a clown called a bobo doll. The children would then be taken to a room with attractive toys in which they were not permitted to touch. The children were then led to another room with the bobo doll. The children were then left in the room to do what they wanted with the bobo doll. 88% of the children imitated the violent behaviour that they had earlier seen. 8 months later 40% of the children reproduced the same violent behaviour.

Using different software

Here we have used the technology we have to create a still image in to a cartoon comic in which we will put into the video to make it have a comic book effect.
