Production Log 11

In week 11 we went out to start filming our music video. We tried out different locations in central London such as famous enough landmarks like the Big Ben and London eye as well as iconic places like southbank and libraries where normal, working class people go and spend their time. We thought these where good locations to film as a lot of young and Middle aged people can be spotted in these areas and so we thought these were locations that many people could relate to.

We also tried to film from different angles to get a verity of facial expressions from close ups to extreme long shots of me and Josh so that our outfits and body language can be seen. While filming if we saw anything interesting that could be used in the digipack we took pictures of them. Even if we wasn't going to use them they were worth having. Due to  lack of synergy we decided not to use the images we took for the digipack leaving us with a lot of work to do.

Production Log: 10

In order to finish both our ancillary products being the magazine cover and digi-pack we had to make a start. This week Sam and I made sure to take all the images needed for the magazine cover. We took a verity pictures of Chris (Lij Gilmour), Josh (The other guy) and Myself (Chris' best friend) this was so we can develop our main idea of telling a heart break story of Lij Gilmour thought out our ancillary products in order to enhance consumer demand. 

We also took pictures of only our main artist Chris who plays (Lij Gilmour )in various angles and face expressions in order to have images to pick from when deciding on our magazine cover. In the moment of shooting we thought that we are advertising Lij Gilmour and not the other two and throught it would be a good idea to take individual images of Lij just in case out main idea didn't work. 

As I practiced in advanced some photoshopping, the editing of the images wasn't so bad. Through this I did learn a lot such as 
-how to layer differen images on top of each other such as cutting the backgroud of Chris and adding the selfie collage of myself for the back ground.
-how to rotate images
-create filters on them 
- as well as adding text and working with different colours to make it synergetic with the artist himself being Chris.
