FINAL DIGIPACK

This is my final Digipack.

Digipack editing

 I have edited 4 photos which I want to use for my digipack using an online photo editing service 'picmonkey.'  I firstly chose the four images I wanted to use for my digipack then uploaded them to pic monkey.

I firstly used the 'Orton Process' and turned up the Bloom to 100%. This made the image look different but I felt that it still needed editing so I tried to find another edit which would make it look better.

Throughout our music video we have used a blue edit, because of this I decided to use the blue edit within cross process which would add a tint of blue to the images. Because I didn't want to have a whole blue image and I wanted it to be quite subtle I changed the fade to 37%.

Another effect that I thought looked good was the Tranquil effect, I changed this to 17% and felt that the colour of the image now looked good enough to use on my digi pack and it was synergistic with my music video.

The next thing I added to the images is a Facial Zoom. This gave the audience a point to focus on as the rest of the image was blurred out. I changed the Zoom blur to 28%, Focal size to 100%, the edge hardness to 5-% and the fade to 70%. Once this was added, round the edge of the photo was not in focus, the main focus was on the face.

Here are the photos before and after.

Final Music Video

This is our final music video.

Adding identity using livetype

Above is a video by myself and Daniel about how we made and imported the identity credits for our music video. We felt that having these credits at the beginning and at the end of the music video gave the video a more professional feel as these credits can be seen in professional music videos that are seen on the TV.

Editing 6/02/2013

Today as i was watching through the introduction I noticed a continuity error where a prop was used in one clip but not the clip that followed. In the first clip the actor is standing to the right of the screen then in the next clip is changes to him teaching from the left and then returning to the right side in the 3rd clip.

Actor to the right of the screen.

Actor to the left of the screen.

I decided that I wanted to try and change this making it less obvious so I used the 'Flop' effect within the perspective effects folder to flip the clip which made the actor stand on the right side.

From making this improvement and overcoming one issue, another issue arose. I realised that the writing on the powerpoint in this flipped clip would be backwards and noticeable to the audience. The only way that would overcome this issue would be to make the clip bigger and take up more of the screen, I used 'image+wireframe' and then zoomed into the clip so that the words in the powerpoint are not seen.

This has now overcome two issues but there is yet another issue I noticed. In the first clip the actor has a prop in his hand and when it changes to the next shot, the prop is not there. This is another continuety error which I need to over come. I could accept this error or try to add another shot between the two clips which would in theory give the actor a chance to move the prop between hands. I added in a shot of the audience to break up these two shots and it seemed to work.

To ensure that nothing I have used within my Digi pack is copyrighted I took my own photos and edited them myself. Along with this I made my own bar code to put on my digipack through 'http://www.barcoding.com/upc/.'This website allowed me to put in my own bar code number making it unique to me and to outweigh the issue of copyright. Below is what my bar code looks like.
