Fonts - Hand Drawn

The font I have in mind for my digipak and advert will look something like this, the rough and animated style of the writing fits the animated scenes in our video very well, I will definitely use a similar design to this, it maybe plain or I might use watercolours like I have here.

Final cut of music video

This is the final cut of our video, we have made the changes suggested by the class from the audience feedback, the beginning of the video now features scenes of the main character thinking in his home, looking at the art that surrounds him, these scenes do make the beginning seem much stronger and mean more, they make the personality of the character seem much more clearer. You can watch the final cut here...

Rough cut of music video with audience feedback

This is the first version of our music video, we are quite pleased with the outcome of it but after the audience feedback it is obvious that we have problems with the videos overall storyline, we have been told that at the beginning of the video it gets confused and this is a big problem for us. After asking the audience several questions about our video, there responses were:

• Do you understand the video? - the audience at first was a little confused but after explaining their thoughts they were actually quite clear about what the video was about, they said that "the video was about a lonely guy who illustrates what he wants his life to be like", this is what our video is about, the whole video is in fact the product of the main characters imagination, showing us through the footage that he wishes to escape.
• Does it fit with our chosen genre? - Our chosen genre was Indie rock which features many strange videos from bands like 'The Killers' and 'Kasabian', when asked "does it fit our chosen genre?", the audience believed that it did because of it's style and strange narrative.
• Does the animated scene fit in with the video? if not why? - The audience overall liked the animated scenes in our video but they did feel that it should have been drawn in pen so it was bolder, this would have been difficult though because each drawing needed to be edited for the next drawing, in total we had nearly two hundred seperate images on our camera. They also commented that they could have been quicker, this would have to be done by creating more images lasting perhaps 1-2 seconds each.
• Does the animated part fit the pace of the video? - Over than the previous comment they said that they liked where it was placed in the chorus of the video, this was the height of the music.
• Does the video's style match the song? - They commented that certain parts of the video matched the song perfectly, many scenes were edited so that they ended on the beats in the music.
• For the last question we asked whether there were any other problems with the video that they had noticed - The only problems mentioned were that there were no lip synch scenes, we felt that by adding scenes like this it may confuse the story even more. They also commented that the song was jumpy, this was a problem we've had since uploading the music to the program, it seems to be difficult to get a copy that doesn't lose it's quality as soon as you upload it to final cut. Also mentioned was the way the video started, the arty images at the beginning of the video were said to be a little confusing because they didn't really mean anything, their suggestion was to add scenes of the main character in between them so that we could show the artistic mind of the character.

Fonts - Researched from the web

These three fonts were some that caught my eye, they all have a style that I believe would fit our printed products well but I may design some of my own to see how they come out, My favourite of these is the second one because I love it's modern look, I also think would look great in a different colour complemented with a drawn image, a drawn image is what I intend to have on my final digipak.

Beginning of Printed Products

Today I will start researching font's that i could use for my album cover and album advertisement, I want something that looks modern or perhaps animated to match the animated scene in our music video, I will design a couple of my own as well as research others from the web, I will then be able to compare them to see which is the most effective.

Editing has finished

Today the video was successfully finished, this is the first draft and changes maybe made once i get some audience feedback, so far the video looks quite good but according to some the overall story of the video is a little confused, this will need to be altered.

Storyboard: Idea 3 - 'Stick-man sequence ending'

• After filming for our video, our ideas have changed vastly, we now have an idea to make part of the video a long stick figure sequence to show the imagination of the main characters mind, because our plan is to make the whole video a product of his own imagination.
