Final Cut

Digipak Final

Here is our final draft of our artist's album covers - front and back.

Front.

We made our front cover by screen grabbing a shot from our music video. We then used a variation of effects and colour correction to reinforce the idea of an urban style 

surrounding. We also changed the brightness and contrast of the image, so that the illuminations created a counterbalance, to the darkness of the cityscape. We wanted to create a 'city glow' effect and we managed to achieve this by turning up the saturation.

Back.

Again, we took a screen grab from our video, and edited it so it had a direct correlation with the front. we used filters such as film grain to create a more visually alluring effect. 

Magazine Advert.

We used the same image from the cd cover to construct the magazine advert. This was so the audience could make a connection between the two, and find the album form the advert easily.  

we added a bit to the top using the same filter, as well as creating a flash light effect to emphasize the entire point of the piece - to advertise the release of the album.

First Rough Cut

Here is a rough cut of our footage so far, we still have a long way to go. Adding performance footage and more narrative will help this...but we feel we have made lots of progress. We have changed our narravtive, so that anything in black and white is in the past, and anything in colour is the present. We are gonna show shots of Kaneo and the girl in happier times, laughing and drinking wine, then more shots of present, him turning up late and standing her up. Originally we wanted to be more abstract are arty, but we feel this is a better way to go. 
Also we changed the opening, so that the beginning is actually the end. So we'll use that opening shot at the end also. 

Work update.

After looking through our footage, our group has decided to heavily change the order of certain shots. This will mean that our final piece will look considerably different to our animatic posted several posts before.

This was made to show that our ideas are starting to take shape, its not the finished article.
