Website Progress

Now that I've decided on a house style for the overall package, I've started work on the website. The home page looks a little bland at the moment, but after getting all the footage from the music video shoot, I could add an animated background like Oasis' band website.

Update 16/01/17:

Using the photos I took in between takes today, I was able to edit some of the photos, and start a gallery for the homage. I also added in a dark grey strip to make the band name stand out more. 



Update 25/1/17:

I've had a bit of a re-design on the homepage of the website. From the photos taken on Sunday I was able to create an GIF that cycles through some of the edited pictures (once in red and once in blue), using this website. I've set this as the main background for the website. I've also added in the band logo and added in a news section in the lower part of the page.

Green Screen practice

Today I decided to have a go at using a green screen, I want to see if it would be something that I could use for my music video. I used this article to help me get rid of the green background in Premiere Pro: How to Chroma Key in Adobe Premiere Pro Chroma keying is usually something that is done in After Effects, but sometimes, whether the simplicity of the project or just the fact that you do not want to send your footage to After Effects, you'll want to chroma key in Premiere Pro. Premiere Pro comes with a great keyer built right in called "ultra key." Here's a short video, note this is only for practice purposes and trying out the keying setting on Premiere Pro. After trying out the green I don't think I would use it in the music video, because it would be hard to make it look like the two aren't different images due to lighting consistency, and I don't think it would fit in with the narrative/song I'm thinking about making a music video fo...

Album Cover Testers

We were tasked with taking photos against a consistent background for album covers in preparation for the digipack task later on in the course. There were a range of different typical album cover shots to choose from, I also added in a few extra as well. For the photos I used a DSLR on a tripod, and I also decided to set up an additional light source to the right of camera to create harsher shadows.  The light source (two phones attached to a hole punch with blue tac) 'WE ARE A LOT OF FUN' Album Cover: For this photo I changed the green screen to black on Photoshop so that we stood out against the background. I later de-saturated the image a little, and adjusted the colour balance to give it a red hue. I also used a ball prop to make us look more 'fun'.  'GANGSTER' Album Cover: This image was also ran through Photoshop. Again I got rid of the bright green background. For the 'gangster' look I decided to have an out of focus clenched hand c...

Popscene recreation filming

Today we filmed for our recreation of Popscene, here are some photos I took for the CD cover task alongside the one minute recreation of the music video. For the background we used black paper so that we had a simple background which made the band stand out. We decided to get shots from a variety of angles and positions to give the music video interesting for the audience and to stay similar to the original. There were a few takes done from above with me standing above the band looking down at them with the camera. Then I went round the group following the action and getting close-up shots of each person and shots of their feet. We had quite a simple mise-en-scene for our performance music video: Guitar/bass guitar (with leads) drum kit (with drum sticks ) amplifiers microphone and stand Wet floor cone While filming the video we decided to get photos for our CD cover. I took quite a few so that we had large enough selection for the inlay. Here are some of them: ...
