This is demonstrated through all 3 media products which worked in different ways to communicate their message to the audience.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Music Video</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
We used Simon Frith's theory to analyse previous videos of similar genres (EDM, House) and decipher how many of the 3 main typologies they used which are:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Performance - actual performance footage e.g. singing or live performances</li>
<li>Narrative - a visual story being told that is quite easy to follow</li>
<li>Conceptual - a more abstract theme with heavy use of symbolism and imagery</li>
</ol>
<div>
There typologies often worked with each other with 2 or 3 often featuring in music videos, however, this isn't the case for EDM which usually follows a narrative or concept and has little focus on performance. Below is Porter Robinson's 'Language' a conceptual narrative music video of the EDM genre. We drew on this as a typical music video of EDM, featuring only 2 typologies as opposed to all 3 like ours.</div>

We have challenged genre conventions by the inclusion of all 3 categories.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<u>Goodwin</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
Andrew Goodwin suggested that the visuals are often an <b>Illustration, Amplification </b>or <b>Disjuncture</b> of the lyrics or music.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Illustration of the lyrics within our video</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
We wanted to follow this theory from the start to create a better and more developed music video. We wanted to focus on mainly illustrating and amplifying the lyrics and music through our music video. This is mainly evident through our editing to the beat and change in tempos but also some areas of illustration between the lyrics and visuals.<br />
<br />
The illustration of music is a evident in the majority of EDM videos, so we definitely felt this was something we should follow. Below is an example of illustration of music through visuals. In Martin Garrix's 'Break through the silence', the development of the music encourages the development of the visuals as the woman starts to 'trip out' more and more as the music comes towards its drop.<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
We've also attempted to create a 'star image' through multiple close-ups of our artist, following Goodwin's theory where he states that record labels demand a 'need for lots of close-ups of the artist'. This is done in real media products to construct an artist identity which the audience wants. This is evident in a number of music videos with 'Summer' by Calvin Harris being a great example.<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The final point I will touch upon in regards to Goodwin is the voyeurism of the female body. This is far more common in certain genres than others and EDM is certainly one of them along with Rap. Below, I have highlighted a great example of the voyeurism in EDM with 'Karate' by R3hab's whole music video basically showing half-naked girls; an extreme example of sexualisation of women in EDM.</div>

We decided to challenge this convention if not completely opposing it by the use of a girl who was used to promote innocence rather than sexualising her. We felt sexualisation had no place in our music video or in association with our artist as we were trying to promote our artist to both men and women and that is certainly a value that could make our artist appeal less to certain demographics.</div>
<br />
<u>Editing</u><br />
Below I have constructed a Prezi on editing and narrative using Vernallis' theory:<br />
<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="400" id="iframe_container" mozallowfullscreen="" src="https://prezi.com/embed/kklvk_wdns3f/?bgcolor=ffffff&lock_to_path=0&autoplay=0&autohide_ctrls=0&landing_data=bHVZZmNaNDBIWnNjdEVENDRhZDFNZGNIUE43MHdLNWpsdFJLb2ZHanI0amp4dDRHSjhwUFV3S3BYRFNEQ1dodkZnPT0&landing_sign=RmhG9vkcD5UxKZlDmiNZXT1A-kE0s7wSjVVp2gBHikU" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="550"></iframe>
<br />
In addition to all of the above, most EDM videos usually have a slow motion section or are in slow motion for the duration as seen by the video below, 'Tremor' by Dimitri Vegas. We decided to follow this convention with a whole slo-mo scene in the red section and also some slo-mo parts in the new years scene.<br />

We decided to use the theory of minimalism to create our music video. This is not uncommon in music videos so we are therefore using a convention of music videos. Having said this, minimalist videos aren't particularly common in the EDM genre but have started to arise recently with the introduction of Justin Bieber's 'Sorry' featuring a minimalist video.<br />
<br />
Here I've made a powerpoint on why we used minimalism<br />

<u>Interactivity</u></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With the proliferation of digital technology and the development of the internet, a large number of websites have moved past being simply informative and now provide an interactive and immersive experience. Drawing on Jenkins' theory on Participatory Culture, we realised that the website is the hub of the artist and therefore should feature a range on interactive content. We've tried to recreate this by:</div>

Social Media is a huge part of artist websites and generally life nowadays. With such a huge platform, it wouldn't be smart to miss out on the use of social media. With this in mind, we set up multiple social media accounts and included the links to them on our website.<br />

<br />
Overall, our website very much conforms to conventions of real media products as essentially, the real life products are examples of what works and when it comes down to it, almost all websites for artists have very similar pages and content with the only difference being the fact that it is artist specific.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Album Cover</u></b><br />
We followed a large number of album conventions to create our album cover. Below I have compared the conventions of our album with Avicii's album.<br />

Similarly to the website, we have followed the conventions as these are what work and we have no reason to break them. We first followed the general album conventions e.g. song list, artist name, album name etc. Then we followed conventions specific to EDM e.g. a focal image of the artist, generally quite plain backgrounds, large text for the album name across the middle or the top of the album. </div>

We had 3 platforms to do this on, the music video, the website and the album cover. By using synergy and cross-platform techniques, we've created a strong brand which will be associated with our artist. This has also meant that all 3 artifacts are obviously related with no stand-alone products. With this in mind, I'd say we've created a pretty effective combination of our main product and ancillary texts.<br />
<br />
<u>Real life example of a marketing strategy</u><br />
Calvin Harris is a really good example of a very effective and synergistic campaign across multiple different platforms. Below, I have made a Padlet exploring some of his techniques.<br />
<br />
<br />

<u>Our Artist's Identity</u><br />
Our artist's identity is prominent throughout all 3 products. Orlando's personality is a selling point as people find him likeable and would want to be friends with him. However, this personality was settled on after reading over Richard Dyer's 'star theory' which states that a star is a created image rather than a real person. With this in mind, our group worked together to try and create a personality for Orlando that his audience would like. Below, I've made another Padlet summing up Orlando's identity and references throughout our campaign.<br />
<br />

We have multiple points of synergy across our campaign which help to link to whole campaign together and in general make the combination of our 3 artifacts more effective.<br />

The <b>Ray-ban Sunglasses </b>were the most obvious point of synergy across all 3 campaigns. The glasses were a great idea as not only did they add to Orlando's character but they also served as something memorable to associate with our artist. Orlando wears them throughout the music video, on the front cover of the album and in the majority of photos on our website. In addition to this, the glasses are available as a product on our website.<br />

<br />
Our <b>logo</b> was kept consistent throughout the marketing campaign. We only had 1 logo for Orlando meaning that whenever any instances came up for a logo to be used, it would always be the same one. This resulted in the website header and album cover sharing the same logo. This was something that looked very effective and also ensured that our audience wouldn't get confused when relating the album to our website. We also used the logo on our branded merchandise. This is very similar to the way Calvin Harris does so as I talked about above.<br />

The <b>colour scheme </b>was kept largely the same throughout the campaign.

<u>Reach & Appeal</u><br />
<div>
Launching a new artist is hard but if there is both a reach and appeal to the marketing campaign, the artist is far more likely to be successful and sell more. In relation to our artist, we used multiple methods to both reach and appeal to our audience. Below I've constructed a Prezi on how we do this.<br />
<div>

This meant we would have to keep getting constant feedback through the course of the project. In addition to this, I created an anonymous survey at the end of the project using 'Survey Monkey' to collect some final feedback on our music video, album cover and website.<br />
<br />
<div>
<br />

With our Target Audience in mind, we needed to use some theory to appeal to them. Here we used Blumler & Katz 'Uses and Gratifications' Theory. The theory is divided into 4 sections of what can be taken out of a form of media:<br />
<br />
<u>Diversion:</u><br />

Diversion is when a piece of media is used as a form of escapism from real life. It is essentially a form entertainment that the audience can become engrossed in, even if only for a few minutes.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/d0g4HwqqDd4/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/d0g4HwqqDd4?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe>Our music video does this as it very much has the 'fun factor' to it. This came across in the audience responses we got on Survey Monkey. A lot of the responses highlighted the scene with glow sticks as a standout one and engaged with this very well.<br />
<br />
<u>Personal Identity</u><br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; text-align: right;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
Personal Identity consists of people looking to a form of media to develop their own identity. This is often done by finding an influential or aspirational figure who the audience can identify with.<br />
<br />
We do this in our campaign as Orlando was generally received quite well. His persona came across as very inviting and this went down well with the target audience.<br />
<br />
<u>Surveillance</u><br />
Surveillance serves to quench the audience's desire for knowledge and information. The proliferation of technology and web 2.0 has made this information much more readily available and at audience's disposal.<br />
<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; text-align: left;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
We make particular use of surveillance on our website where we have a bio page about Orlando, settling the audience's desire for information.<br />
<br />
<u>Personal Relationships</u><br />
Due to an audience's uncontrollable need to be included, they search for some platform to do so. With the proliferation of web 2.0, this has become easier with the ability to share a link to Facebook or Twitter in an instant.<br />
<br />
Our website along with our social media pages work to this need by the ease and encouragement of following our artist on social media and then sharing links with the audience's own followers in order to spark conversation.<br />

<u>Audience Feedback</u><br />
There are many benefits of audience feedback which is why we felt it necessary to keep getting audience responses. Audience feedback:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Provides an opinion from people who know what they like</li>
<li>Lets us act based on what they tell us</li>
<li>Can enable us to do things to make video appeal to audience</li>

Throughout the project we had a lot of feedback on our music video. This was really constructive as it allowed us to come up with a response to our music video before we were finished. Our teachers and technician were really helpful here as they helped us a lot with shot length and re-ordering when some of the shots didn't seem quite right. By asking some friends as well, I was able to grasp what was working well and what needed more work. After getting the feedback on our music video the main thing we took away was that we needed to sort out the shot lengths and cut more to the beat.<br />

The feedback for our website was generally quite good, however, we got feedback that our news page was quite bland with not much going on. On hearing this, we made a new announcement video and added a couple more events such as a signing event. Below is the announcement video we made.<br />

I created a survey on Survey Monkey to assess how well our music video was received. Some basic questions were asked to see if our music video was liked and if it was read in the way we wanted it to be.<br />
<br />

The feedback for our music video was really positive with a lot of people scoring our music video really highly and some really useful comments in addition to this. It was nice to see what people didn't like in parts too.<br />
<br />
We also asked people what they thought the main theme was to see if people were reading our video in the intended way, playing on Hall's encoding/decoding model with an intended viewing meaning and how this can be different depending on people's backgrounds. The responses were very interesting with most people viewing the video in the intended manner with the dreaming and musical journey taking prominence.<br />

Overall, the things I took from the music video were that the concept and fun of the video were really positive. The bright colours were also a large positive. The only negative really was some of the unsmoothness of the shots which was mainly due to the limited time frame we had as we had to rush a bit on After Effects.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Final Website Feedback</u></b><br />
I got feedback on our final website from a number of friends and acquaintances. In the same way as the music video, I wanted to assess what people thought of our website and if it met the needs of our target audience.<br />

<br />
After getting general feedback from a wider range of people, I thought I'd get some more specific feedback from some of my friends. I told them to be as honest as possible and I took some notes on my technologically converged iPhone as they went through the website.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />
The main things I took from the website feedback were that generally, the website was really well liked. It was simple yet quite effective. The main issue seemed to be that it may have been a bit empty in places making for a lesser experience where the user is spending less time on the website. </div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<b><u>Final Album Cover Feedback</u></b></div>
<div>
In the same way as the website, I asked people to rate our album cover out of 10. I collated the scores into a pie chart on Meta-chart.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A pie-chart on what people scored our album cover</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
With consistently high scores, our album was clearly quite likeable. In addition to this, I got the same people to answer if they felt the album cover fit the genre.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A chart on if the album cover fit the genre</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Clearly from the results, a resounding amount of people thought that our album cover fit the genre. This was extremely positive as we put a lot of thought into making our album cover look like an EDM album and this clearly paid off. Finally, I asked one person in more detail what they liked about the album cover and she said because it looked like real examples.<br />

<br /></div>
<u>Positives</u><br />
<div>
<ul>
<li>Our genre came across as really strong throughout all aspects of our project</li>
<li>We used theory to back up our decisions we made ensuring good audience feedback</li>
<li>Our music video was really well understood and our audience seemed to enjoy it</li>
</ul>
<div>
<u>Negatives</u></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Some people felt the video looked a but unsmooth at parts</li>
<li>The website was deemed a bit empty by a few</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<b><u>Conclusion</u></b><br />
Overall, the audience feedback proved really useful. A lot of it just served to solidify our thoughts as consumers of EDM ourselves. In the areas where we felt valid points were made, we worked on what they said in order to improve our product such as with the length of shots in the music video. However, we had to be careful that the feedback we were receiving was actually by a relevant demographic i.e. a consumer of EDM rather than someone who knows very little about the genre and genre conventions.</div>

This is particularly evident in the construction where we filmed on greenscreen and used After Effects to add in backgrounds meaning without the proliferation of technology, this would have been impossible to do in a school environment.<br />

Youtube was a huge tool involved in our research & planning. We were constantly on Youtube sourcing through existing music videos as inspiration or references to use throughout our work. The ease of finding music videos due to the proliferation of the internet and 'Web 2.0' focused on a sharing culture was hugely useful for our group with any music video just a few clicks away.</div>

<div>
<u>Facebook</u></div>
<div>
We decided to make a Facebook group at the beginning of our project. This was useful as we were able to share ideas from the outset. With Facebook being a technologically converged website, this made it particularly useful to share photos and videos as well as messaging each other.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>Mobile Phones</u></div>
<div>
The proliferation of digital technologies and the fact that smart phones are now so common really worked to our groups benefit. Everyone in our group owns a smart phone meaning we could all reap the benefits of these technologically converged and web 2.0 ready devices. With this in mind, we set up a Whatsapp group which allowed us to be in contact on the go.

<u>Cameras</u><br />
In production we used the school's Canon 5D mark II in combination with Eddie's Canon 600D. Both camera's were great pieces of kit. Although the specs of the 5D may have been slightly higher, the differences were barely noticeable. We tended to use both cameras at the same time filming from different angles meaning we could save time as we would only have to perform once rather than twice for each different angle. The picture on both cameras were full HD meaning we got crisp footage to work with in post-production from both cameras.<br />

The Greenscreen served as a key part of technology for us. We used a Greenscreen cyclorama to enable us to later edit out the green background and replace it with a background of our choice. Although a simple piece of technology in itself (just a green curtain) it is not to be underestimated as without it, we couldn't have made our music video in the style we did. <br />

We used both floor lights and the lighting rig for our footage. Due to the fact that we used a Greenscreen background, we used these lights solely to light our actors rather than our actors and the background. This made the whole lighting process very straightforward as in most cases, we simply needed white lights. The floor lights were there to add extra lighting to characters who weren't as well lit by the lighting rig, for example in the performance shots where me and Eddie were in the background. <br />

After collecting our footage, we used Adobe Premiere Pro to edit our footage together into a music video. We first put it into order on Premiere, then edited the shots on After Effects and put them back into Premiere. Premiere Pro was familiar to all of us as we have used it before on multiple occasions in previous projects. The multi-track layout proved to be particularly useful as we could organise our footage on alternate layers for ease of use.<br />

Our project involved a huge deal of work on After Effects. After Effects was used to create and add in all of the backgrounds as well as masking in/out a lot of props. In addition to this, we used 'Colour Finesse' on After Effects to grade our shots. After Effects was of huge importance to our project as without it, we wouldn't have been able to do anything with greenscreen footage we shot. It also provided a more in depth grade that we found particularly useful.<br />

We used Photoshop to create the Album covers and also to edit our photos of our Artist. Like Premiere, we were all familiar with Photoshop with a good history of knowledge for all 3 of us. Photoshop was a great tool as we used it in multiple ways. For our photos, we used the spot healing tool to clear my skin and edited out the backgrounds using the quick select tool replacing them with a plain white background instead. For our digipak, we used a background and used the layering to add in the artist image, text and album information.<br />

Wix was new to all of us but we got to grips with it almost instantly self-teaching ourselves how to use it.

The social media links and widgets were particularly useful as they added interactivity into our website and also allowed our website to be the hub of our campaign with a range of different medias resulting in a cross-media converged website.<br />

With a culture so reliant on smart phones, this very simple but effective use of marketing now allowed our audience to participate with our artist on the go as well as on a computer. By sharing small insights to our artist's world, this played into Dyer's Star Theory where our artist is a constructed image and the audience are seeing exactly what we want them to.</div>

<u>Blogger</u><br />
Blogger has been the programme of choice to document our group's progress throughout the project. Blogger has been really helpful as it is a cloud-based service meaning I can work on it wherever I sign onto the Google account. It has served as an appropriate service to display my Evaluation posts with lots of positives such as the ability to embed a range of other services into the document. However, formatting on Blogger can be quite laborious as the layout doesn't always show as it seems when it gets published.<br />

Prezi was a great tool that I used to create online presentations which I then embedded into blogger. It was particularly useful as the style of presentation you could create was a lot more exciting than simple text presentations with a strong sense of movement throughout the presentations. I've used Prezi quite a lot throughout my presentation demonstrating the importance of new media technology for my evaluation.<br />

<u>Snipping Tool</u><br />
The Snipping Tool has been really useful for getting screenshots of my work. The majority of photos on this page have been captured by the Snipping Tool. It's saved a lot of time and helped me to capture my evidence of certain media technologies whilst also being one itself.<br />

Padlet is a webtool that I used to note down ideas and put onto my blog. Padlet basically acts like an online version of Post-it notes.

To create our website, we used Wix which is a website creator/editor. The cloud based service allowed us to edit the site from anywhere which was particularly handy and the drag and drop nature of the website was very easy to pick up and use.<br />
<br />
Our first decision was to decide which pages to put on the website. We mainly stuck to our flatplan here with a selection pages which were:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>News</li>
<li>Media</li>
<li>Store</li>
<li>Live</li>
<li>Bio</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
We felt these pages entailed the majority of things expected on an EDM artist's website and after receiving feedback from some of the audience, were happy to proceed with these pages.<br />

After creating the basic website, we sat down with some of our media teachers and spoke about what we felt was missing. First of all, it was agreed that we didn't have enough interactive content so we thought up an idea of a tour announcement video by Orlando. We also found that some of our photos of merchandise in the shop were blurry so we removed or replaced them. Our layout was good but essentially, we just needed to bulk up most of the pages a bit. Below is the video we came up with.<br />

To bulk up our pages, we really emphasised the synergy of all our online marketing campaigns. Therefore, we added links to soundcloud, instagram, iTunes and more. </div>

However, a lot of them felt that an entry page was something they often saw and that the addition of it may add to the professionalism of the website. Therefore, we made an entry page in response to the feedback. It was very simple and simply required us to add in a button and link it yet it had a real impact on the standards of our website.<br />

Our final touches simply involved finishing up the website with some final touches to add to the realism of our site. This was mainly checking that all of our links were working and simply adding contact information etc. to the contact page, which is something that our audience feedback noticed on our website as some of the links weren't working. </div>

Overall, I'd say that Wix offered an easy to use yet efficient website creating service which certainly made the creation of our website a lot smoother than it may have been if we used a different service. The constant feedback was really important for us to keep moving forward and the ease of Wix made it easy for us to turn the feedback into final results which definitely impacted on the professionalism of our final website.<br />

This was the most viable piece of software to use as it allowed us to import backgrounds, edit the photos and create an overall album using a multi-layer method helping to keep our work organised. After a thoroughly thought out photo shoot, we felt that the creation of the digipak would prove to be quite straightforward.<br />
<br />
After thorough research prior to the creation of the digipak, we decided we wanted to follow the basic conventions of EDM and create an album cover with a focal image of Orlando and little else, similar to Martin Garrix's album below.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVH0Drt8HJfyewp02QzLuQZ8Ekf4rmfVRTDD2wC_4_KFNI9xihckCYbI-YzY7F67HCBGoXMydkH4QDyhC0DhNJuS_V_XOhBvTsx0UD6ber119sXsk_alH5jb5ltx_hpWrfp8DEdvZe1ZM/s1600/GoldSkiesEP.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVH0Drt8HJfyewp02QzLuQZ8Ekf4rmfVRTDD2wC_4_KFNI9xihckCYbI-YzY7F67HCBGoXMydkH4QDyhC0DhNJuS_V_XOhBvTsx0UD6ber119sXsk_alH5jb5ltx_hpWrfp8DEdvZe1ZM/s200/GoldSkiesEP.png" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our first decision was which photo we were going to use on the front cover of album. After a successful photo shoot, we had a variety of photos to choose from but essentially, it came down to if we wanted just a headshot or a full body shot of Orlando. After very vaguely overlaying both photos over a sample background and some basic text which we made using the text tool, we felt that the full body photo was better. We then asked some members of our target audience which they preferred to see if we had made the right decision and they agreed, so we opted to move forward with that photo.</div>

Our second major decision was what our background would be. We were undecided whether to go for a plain background or or a more creative background. Once again, we input both into Photoshop to test them and the more creative background certainly looked more effective. With this in mind, we decided we wanted to input it onto all 4 panels of our digipak to keep continuity throughout but we didn't like the grey colour it came in. Therefore, we played about with the colour settings using the hue, saturation and lighting settings until we came to the blue that we liked.<br />

Our final main decision to make was the choice of text throughout the digipak. First of all, I created 2 alternate versions of our logo to give an option for what to use. I asked the group which one they preferred and we then asked some classmates for further opinion. We settled on one option because we felt it had more character than the other logo which simply looked a bit bland which is what our audience feedback also told us. We then tried using the same font as the logo for all the text on our digipak but we felt this didn't look effective and heard the same thing back when we asked classmates. Therefore, we searched for fonts using Dafont.com and settled on a font that we liked for all of the auxiliary text other than the logo. Photoshop made this easy for us too as after we had downloaded the font, we used a programme which enabled us to use the font on Photoshop.<br />

Overall, I've really enjoyed using Photoshop to create our digipak. It was a really easy programme for this purpose and the multi-layer nature of the programme meant we could very easily experiment with different ideas and then put them back in a matter of seconds. The quick selection and refine edge tool was particularly useful for making sure our focal image didn't have any rough edges as it helped to smoothen them out which added a much more professional look to our finished product.<br />

For the post-production of our music video, we used a variety of software to cut and create the finished product. We spent a large amount of time editing the video on Adobe Premiere and also used Adobe After Effects to create the majority of the backgrounds as well as animating some objects within the footage.<br />
<br />
<u>Adobe Premiere</u><br />
Adobe Premiere served as our main bit of software for the actual editing together of the music video. Below is a screenshot of the interface.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
We first layered the footage on alternate tracks to create a basic edit of the music video. Once we had received clearance from our teacher on the actual edit of the music video, work began on creating the backgrounds and objects on Adobe After Effects. Once the footage had been edited on After Effects, we imported it back into the Premiere project and put it on the track at the top. This simple organisation proved to be really useful as we could simply put in the newer shots whilst still leaving a complete timeline below of unedited footage.<br />
<br />
We also added in some simple effects on after effects to add some variety to our music video such as this effect below created by cutting and reversing our footage and then playing it forwards again.<br />
<br />
The real problem of using Premiere was the fact that we had to create a whole timeline and edit of our music video before we added in any effects. This meant that we had to visualise what our shots would look like after editing them before we had actually done it which proved to be problematic in sections. However, we simply stuck at the task and eventually got through it due to our persistence.<br />
<br />
<u>After Effects</u><br />
After Effects was by far where the most amount of time and work was put in. It served as a huge task to create numerous backgrounds as well as objects within the shots. We also used it to grade our shots as we went along. Below is an example of the After Effects interface.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbwNZGCSFK59kH4ZMkF7syc0HSXPM0ZZjotnANHc9KYubccDROxpNJBLdW_z9OFOfu0vPbpYPFOTZ0eN3juUCjaFcjuQNd-T_zf_j4YbCsIKIdQENXOLW5ks9HHTx2HK1a5l5o5MPXgCM/s1600/AE+interface.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="206" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbwNZGCSFK59kH4ZMkF7syc0HSXPM0ZZjotnANHc9KYubccDROxpNJBLdW_z9OFOfu0vPbpYPFOTZ0eN3juUCjaFcjuQNd-T_zf_j4YbCsIKIdQENXOLW5ks9HHTx2HK1a5l5o5MPXgCM/s400/AE+interface.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The footage was once again layered and we used different techniques to add in what we needed, for example, the glowing ball below was created by adding in a new layer which we cut into the shape of a ball. Numerous effects were then added, including a glow and the ball was given a motion path to follow. Although fairly simple sounding, each task proved to be very time consuming as a lot of experimentation of what would look best was undertaken at each level. We often got feedback from our peers about what looked best. In addition to this, we would ask a select group of our target audience about what they preferred and then make decisions based on this.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We also used After Effects to grade our footage. We used a package within the programme called Luma which was more advanced that what was possible on Adobe Premiere. We manipulated the contrast and saturation of every scene to create a look we were happy with. Below is an example of the end shot before and after editing and grading. </div>

We also changed the grade throughout the music video putting a darker grade prior to the entering of the dream and a much brighter grade after the dream had started helping to highlight the mood of the shots.<br />
<br />
An overwhelming majority of our class mates preferred the footage after the grade with our whole class saying they preferred the footage after the grade when we conducted a survey.<br />
<br />
As our whole music video was supposed to be as realistic as possible, we ensured we had multiple focus sessions with some EDM fans to see what they liked and what they suggested we could improve.<br />
<br />
The main problem with After Effects was first the length of time it took to open, this could take up to half an hour which served as time we could've spent adding effects to the shots. In addition to this, due to the size of the shots after editing, our computer often lagged or simply couldn't play the shots in the editing window which meant we were somewhat editing blind, as we couldn't watch a complete music video unless we exported it. Finally, because our music video required a lot of experimentation, this served as a time constraint throughout with the constant issue of the deadline looming. In basic terms, this meant that we didn't have as much time as we liked to edit our footage of After Effects.<br />

We allocated 3 days to capture the photos:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Wednesday 25th November - 13.45-15.45</li>
<li>Thursday 26th November - 16.30-20.30</li>
<li>Friday 27th November - 11.10-12.30</li>
</ul>
<div>
We felt that this would be enough to get our photos as we only had 1 artist to get photos of and then a few group shots of Orlando and the DJ together. In the end, we didn't need the Friday as we got all of our photos on Wednesday and Thursday.</div>

We made sure that we varied the poses I used and had an idea of what poses to use before-hand. We worked very efficiently resulting in a finish time to schedule. The only issue we really had was the lighting at the start of the shoot which we quickly sorted out. Below is an example of the overly lit shots and then some of the better shots. </div>

Although in the end we achieved the shots we needed, there was an issue with the flash which took a while to resolve. In the end, it meant the shots didn't come out as bright as we hoped for but it still worked out fine. The evidence of the flash showed up on the backgrounds as seen on the left when the flash was working and on the right when the flash wasn't, however, the background was getting edited out anyway so this was pretty irrelevant other than taking up a lot of time on the Thursday. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We also used this day to get some group shots of myself and Eddie to use on the website. We focused on getting some serious shots and some fun shots too. These photos came out really well with a distinct variety. </div>

In addition to the group shots, we also took a few photos of Eddie by himself just in case we needed them for anything, this took a very short amount of time so although we didn't use them, it was worth being prepared. <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Although we were obviously set back by the technical faults of the flash, we pulled together and still managed to finish on time which was really positive. After reviewing our photos on Friday morning, we concluded that we didn't need to shoot on Friday which wasn't really a surprise as we only had mainly 1 person to take photos of as opposed to the other groups which had 4. </div>

We had planned ahead with our actors for our shoot to be at the end of the week so the 19th November proved to be a very big day for us.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Day 4 - 18th November</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
We had planned to shoot all of the performance footage of myself on this day as Shayam had other commitments for most of the day meaning we couldn't really use her. The day was quite successful as all we had to do was record me singing pretty much. Due to the fact that we were using both the school's 5D and Eddie's 600D Cameras, this meant that we recorded both angles of the singing at the same time which was far more efficient than if we had to record from one angle and then re-record from a different angle.<br />

Overall, our footage on the day was pretty good and was very useful for the edit as we could slide it in wherever we had a gap. We finished the shoot on time and had more time to prepare for the big shoot the following day.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Day 5 - 19th November</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
The 19th November was the biggest shoot for our group. 2 whole scenes relied on this shoot so it was vital that everything went smoothly. We started with the glow in the dark scene and shot this through lunch. Although lots of preparation had gone into this to make sure the glowsticks showed on camera, we made quite a large error as we thought our new UV paint was working on camera when we tested it but it was in fact only showing up from a very close distance which meant it was unusable. However, we still had the glowsticks which meant we could still create a variety of usable footage. Below is an example of some of the footage.<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
During our media lesson, we shot the footage from the new year's scene using people from our class and one of my friends who had a free lesson as we needed less people here. This was quite straightforward but we slightly overran here as we didn't allow enough time for multiple takes of each shot and we also wanted to add in some shots that we thought up on the spot as scene by the shots below. </div>

Finally, after school, we focused on shooting the Orange scene (daylight party). This part of the shoot went mainly to plan as we still managed to shoot all of the footage ahead of the time we had to leave. We did get what we needed but looking back at the footage now, I feel we could have done with possibly getting one more take of footage to use to vary the shots a bit. In addition to this, I feel a few more people on set would have looked better as the shots looked a bit empty in the wider angles.</div>

The 20th November wasn't a shoot intensive day as we simply used it to re-shoot any missing or badly shot footage. We reviewed the footage in the morning and used lunch to re-shoot a few shots which we had made costume errors in. This only took about 20 minutes as there were no issues whilst shooting the footage. <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Our priorities for days 1-3 were to shoot the majority of our individual shots as we had organised this with Shayam and our other actors with individual shots were me and Eddie. In addition to this, we wanted to get the artistic shots of the book, paper, headphones etc. as they didn't involve any extra people.<br />

Our call time for the first day was 9am with a plan to begin shooting at 11am. We arrived particularly early to enable us to get into costume and make sure that we were completely ready to begin shooting at the desired time. As the group before us weren't using the Green Screen, we also had to start late to allow our technician to put up the Green Screen, a process which took a fair bit of time. With all of this in mind, we all made sure we arrived on time which led to a start time on schedule.<br />

The first day of filming actually went really well as we managed to shoot what we needed ahead of schedule as a lot of the shots were quite simple, for example, shots of the book and headphones. Due to the fact that we managed to finish early, we went off schedule and trialed some shots using myself, Eddie and Shayam just so we had an excess of footage. We also added in a few extra shots of the objects so we had a variety of shots to choose from.<br />
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One thing that didn't go as well as we planned was the fact that Shayam was bare foot in these clips, something that we missed which led to a continuity error. This meant that we had to re-shoot all of the clips involving long shots of Shayam in order to fix this. </div>

On the second day, we wanted to shoot the shots from the 'Mars' scene as again, we only needed Shayam for this. The shoot went really well as we shot all of the footage we needed apart from one shot which we forgot. Due to the nature of the shots we were recording, problems were rare and the time on this day was more than enough for what we were shooting.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Having said this, we did encounter an issue for the Flag Pole shot of how to shoot the stick, however, quick thinking meant we resolved this fast and achieved a good quality of footage by using a mop as a guide for where the flag would be. </div>

The 17th was used mainly as a catch-up day to the footage we had already shot as we left the group shots for later in the week. Due to the fact that we only had a short day in the studio, until 5.15, we focused mainly on re-shooting the shots with the costume errors we made and also recorded the shot we forgot to do the day before as seen below. <br />

So far, I'm really pleased with where our project is headed and based on the current work, I feel we are going to have a really successful end result.<br />
<br />
I'm really pleased with my group because we all seem to be putting in equal amounts of work which means we're not having to make up for the shortcomings of one member. Therefore, it allows us to continue to be creative and efficient without having to worry about if the other members are up to date etc.<br />
<br />
I have enjoyed going away and doing my own research and then bringing it back to the group and sharing during group meetings as I feel this is a really successful way at progressing. The fact that we have all been doing this means we all come back with fresh ideas ready to share for each meeting.<br />
<br />
The planning process has also been very efficient as we've ensured as a group that we don't slack and fall behind. I created the costume and props lists so that we had a written indication of what we were having on each person for each scene rather than simply having it all in our head and running the risks of forgetting on the day.<br />
<br />
Being the lead singer has meant I have an extra role too in having to learn the lyrics but this is something I did early on in order to not waste time later on in the course.<br />
<br />
Overall, I'm really happy with where we're at and am looking forward to starting the production stage.<br />

Our group, in blue again, had 2 days where we were filming. Unfortunately, we had less time in the studio than both other groups and due to the heavy technical element of our music video, this proved to be an issue.<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Due to the fact that other groups were in and out of the studio this week, it meant that we could only use a basic green screen which fit about 3 people on it. This was an issue as we couldn't space our characters out enough to film good long shots. We still managed to compile a range of footage and test a number of our shots but we couldn't create a complete rough edit as we simply didn't have enough time in the studio and technology let us down such as floor lamps blowing and the lighting rig getting stuck on a red setting. </div>

Above is an example of one of the opening shots. It gave us an opportunity to test the green screen, however, we didn't have time to edit in backgrounds as we were focused on preparing for the real shoot after putting the shot into the timeline. </div>

<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Make sure enough time is allocated to deal with any technical issues - </b>This was clearly the biggest issue for us. In hindsight, there's not too much we could do about this as the shoot schedule was created around all 3 groups, not just ours but in future, we will make sure that we have enough time to deal with any technical issues. This is obviously often out of our hands as technology can fault at its own leisure but being prepared and organised will go a long way into creating a quick solution.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Try and fill out the scenes a bit more </b>- The scenes look a bit empty, although a lot of this is down to how many people could fit on the small green screen, this is still something that we'll have to avoid for the real thing.</div>

There weren't any special safety hazards other than hot lights and tripping hazards etc. but we still had talks with our cast about this, in particular students outside of media as they didn't have any experience of this. Overall though, it was simply good planning to create a call sheet which is what we aimed for throughout the whole course and it ensured that everyone had everyone's phone numbers in an emergency.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>The shoot-board helped our organisation as we only called actors in when we needed them and filmed shots in terms of who we needed rather than chronological order</li>
<li>We had a time schedule helping us to know whether we were on time and how far we should be</li>
<li>A description of the shot so we knew what we were filming without needing our storyboard</li>
<li>Acted as a multi-functional document collating other elements we've worked on e.g. scheduling and shots, into one document</li>
</ul>

We've met with the other 2 groups to allocate time slots in the studio for our rehearsal week. This has been done based on when we're free and we've tried to allocate equal times for everyone.<br />
<br />
Our groups slots were the blue ones meaning we had chunks on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. If there was an initial by the letter (I for Iggy, E for Eddie and M for Mario), this was when only that person could make the time slot. This was dictated by lessons. The even spread of our slots was useful as we could rehearse or get footage, review it and then make changes or try something else based on what we had seen.<br />
<br />

To the left, the video shows our paint test which needed to be charged with light. Unfortunately, the paint didn't show on camera so we needed to rethink this idea.<br />
<br />
We found this was a good opportunity to try some camera techniques also with our actress. As seen below, we're attempting to get the camera movement and opening of Shayam's eyes in sync as Eddie films and I direct.<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Overall, I would say that the rehearsals were really useful as it gave us an opportunity to experiment and try out some of our techniques but still allowing enough time to change an idea if it didn't work e.g. the glow in the dark paint. </div>

We will alternate on our use of camera's as we feel Eddie's 600D is more useful for taking close ups and the 5D is better at longer shots. In addition to this, we can film 1 clip from 2 different angles by using both of these cameras at the same time. </div>

The lighting desk is going to be hugely useful. As we are using a green screen, we can set the lighting rig to bright white lights to achieve our desired lighting. We will also use the smaller ARRI floor lights to add any additional lighting if it is needed. </div>

When it came to casting, we had some big decisions to make of who would perform. We had group meetings to discuss this and I compiled a cast list at home:<br />
<br />
Our main issue was who was going to be our main character. We first opted to use Arian as we felt he portrayed the character we wanted well. However, it came up that there were scheduling issues as he had another commitment with rehearsals for the school play so we instead opted to use Shayam for our main character who did a great job.<br />

For our dancers/extras we mainly used people from our media class as they were available and ready to commit free time but also because they understood our concept well as we had been explaining it to them. A couple of my friends from outside media were also used in it as we felt they fit the role well and numbers were key in our bigger sequences meaning the bigger, the better.<br />

Due to the fact we've decided to shoot our music video onto a green screen in the studio, this means that nothing has to be done to our backgrounds for the shoot. Instead, we're focusing on trying to design the set to make it look like the situations we're aiming for, for example, the bedroom set-up with a desk and chair. However, because of the ability to add in props in post-production, we actually have few things to set up for the shoot.<br />

We also need to include the microphone and DJ kit in our performance shots which means we have to source them. We had a group meeting discussing this and then asked if the media department had the items we needed.<br />

We planned lists of costumes & make-up and props in preparation for the upcoming shoots:<br />
<br />
<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
Shayam's role is supposed to connote innocence, this why we chose the white vest which is often associated with purity and then pink and bright colours to complete the look giving her the appearance of a younger child. In combination with her hair, we feel this achieves what we are aiming for.<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi49vZ_MGFYRKhkeVSWKi92PHHQsUuNuoO-6A5YpoZZFYgq-xOjaEUxhQJ1dQvPquCfwylvAefeNvBuTKHMBH5rJhp6c_U0tZLL85XeWPngRbTN-AbKjAnisc60N6isSdl-TScG6N1pQPI/s1600/costumes.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi49vZ_MGFYRKhkeVSWKi92PHHQsUuNuoO-6A5YpoZZFYgq-xOjaEUxhQJ1dQvPquCfwylvAefeNvBuTKHMBH5rJhp6c_U0tZLL85XeWPngRbTN-AbKjAnisc60N6isSdl-TScG6N1pQPI/s320/costumes.JPG" width="318" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The costume and make-up list for our main characters</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
My role was that of the singer. We used our previous research on costume to assess that all black was the best way forward here with the sunglasses also there to add something a little different and noticeable.<br />
<br />
Finally, Eddie's role of the DJ was also quite straightforward to put together. We realised that we could also use a plain t-shirt for him but felt this would be a bit boring so we opted for a graphic t-shirt instead to show a clear difference between him and Orlando.<br />
<div>
<br />In addition to our list, we also told our dancers/extras to bring in appropriate costumes for a party for our main shoot.<br />
<br />
<u>Props</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
We devised a props list also to make sure we were prepared for our upcoming shoot and hadn't forgotten or overlooked anything:<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Our Props List</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
It was very beneficial to create a props list as it meant that we were prepared well in advance with our props and weren't having to wait around for our items to arrive as we could source them early. It also meant we could use a range of them in our test footage and disband any that didn't work well as we found with the Glow in the dark paint.<br /><br /></div>

The visual mindmap I created during research essentially summed up a lot of our possible ideas and also the common conventions in one document.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My visual mindmap</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br /><div>
Therefore after all of the research, there were a few main conventions we felt we had to include:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>An album and artist name somewhere on the album, probably the front and definitely the spine</li>
<li>A barcode, this is on every album</li>
<li>A track list on the rear of the album</li>
<li>Record label, copyright information and other institutional information</li>
</ul>
<div>
With this in mind, we started planning some more specific ideas. Below is a mindmap I created of more specific ideas. </div>

This eventually translated into more concrete ideas, however, we remained open even when we were creating the digipak in order to see what looked best rather than just trying one idea.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15176392819707919348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7886276776678191089.post-21854631210767286062015-12-21T08:50:00.002-08:002016-01-03T12:24:49.193-08:00R+P Post 23: Planning my web pagesOur group first planned to draw out our flatplan but decided against this as we found it would be quicker and tidier to do it on the computer. We used Powerpoint to create our flatplan due to its ease of moving objects and shapes around the page and also duplicating pages to keep the basic template.<br />

This was the plan for our homepage. A sliding out navigator bar looked sleek and we wanted to have heavy emphasis on our new track release. The sliding out bar was based on what we found on Calvin Harris' website.<br />

To plan for our promo shots, we had a group meeting discussing poses, costume and shot types. After this, I created a small mindmap at home putting some of our ideas onto paper.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We then sketched some possible poses using real examples as a basis for our results:<br />

<br /><br />
The 4th photo along was inspired by the pose by Martin Garrix as seen below. We plan to take photos with and without sunglasses in that pose to add variety and in different costumes also.<br />
<br />
The final photo, a side-profile headshot is a really standard pose as seen by the Avicii photo.<br />
<br />
Finally, our 2 shot photo was inspired by the photo of Disclosure, we aim to get a range of poses of the DJ and Orlando together.<br />

This was in chronological order featuring the majority of our key shots. This was really helpful going forward as we had now established an order of specific shots meaning our music video no longer had any gaps in it. The different colours highlighted different camera angles and arrows on the Post-it notes either represented camera movement or character movement.<br />
<br />

<br />
This kind of planning was exactly what was needed going forward as we often referred to the story board in future and also found that it acted as a 'fail-safe' if we forgot any of the specific shots.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15176392819707919348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7886276776678191089.post-11240309538248714432015-12-08T08:56:00.001-08:002016-01-02T14:56:55.956-08:00R+P Post 20: My Music Video TimelineAfter creating our steal-o-matic, we decided we should create a Timeline to aid us with transferring concepts into specific ideas. We stuck 3 A3 sheets together and divided it into 10 second segments. We then began sticking Post-It notes of ideas onto the timeline for each section.<br />

The timeline above highlights a brief structure of what was going to happen in each scene. The video would start in the real world in the white scene, the going through to yellow, orange, red, blue and finally purple/black. Our initial ideas of what was going to happen in each of these scenes changed quite a bit due to limitations of what we could shoot and being in the studio but the concept remained the same.<br />
<br />
Creating a timeline was extremely helpful for our group as prior to this, we had a lot of ideas but were unsure where all of them were going to go. This gave us an opportunity to unload ideas onto paper and watch our music video begin to take shape.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15176392819707919348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7886276776678191089.post-76203726380567829372015-12-08T08:55:00.005-08:002016-01-02T14:29:42.527-08:00R+P Post 19: My influences and vision for the projectTo help gather a visual idea of what our video would look like, we compiled some footage from similar videos with ideas we like and have compiled them into a steal-o-matic.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KPt15d-ugmE/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KPt15d-ugmE?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<br />
Our steal-o mainly focuses on the use of effects in post-production but possible dance routines and set-ups of characters are included too. This also showcases the initial idea for how we wanted to use transitions in our music video.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This clip from Avicii's 'Levels' highlights the effect we want to use at the end of our video with our main characters 'consciousness' rushing back into them at the end of the video as they wake up from their dream world. This looks visually effective and will anchor a strong conclusion to our music video.<br />
<br />

This clip from Jake Miller's 'Rumors' shows the transitions that we want to use in our music video. We want our worlds to kind of drift into each other so it looks like one continuous but changing world.<br />
