Our mood board


















This is our mood bored his has all the thiings on it we fel reprsent our artist DJ magma, Such as the music and the women also the time lapses as that as what we are doing in ou music video.

Review of time lapse location







We started at the london eye and filmed for around two and a half hours however unfortunately Jay Jervis's camera ran out of battery and we had to leave that one as if we carried on with a different camera the shots would not match and this beautiful shot of the london eye would not work anymore. the second place we shot at was a merry go round which we shot for around 5 minutes and looks really bright and vibrant, the third place we started to film for our time lapse was the bridge leading to big ben Which was good as it was dark and all the lights were on big ben and it looked really good, the fourth place we filmed was Big Bens clock which came out really nice as all the hands on the clock were moving and will look good time lapsed as it will be the hands moving , the final shot we did was a more long shot of the london eye but also the building next to it had lots of lights changing colors which when time lapsed will look really colorful and is almost a metaphor for the club scene.

Things we could have done better:
Taken a battery for jays camera which would have given us an even better shot of the eye.
Bought more warm clothes for the eye such as hats scarfs and thicker coats.
Bought some medicine as i was really ill with flu on the night we filmed.
Bought some film as none of us had really eaten and were extremely fatigued.

digipack inside analysis

JAY+Z+%26+LINKIN+PARK+copy.jpg
Inside of the Digipack Codes and conventions
Inside the digipack there are not that many codes and conventions. The only thing’s I can see that may be a code and convention is the C.D the actual C.D is inside the case this is very normal for a digipack as that is what you are paying for. Also like all digipacks it folds out and reveals cover art and uniqe art you would not get on a normal C.D. Another thing is the special C.D you get of the live concerts that you can watch they sometimes give you a special song that you can get with only this C.D this is another thing digipacks do a lot.

Description
Again there is very uniqe Graffiti artwork on the inside of the case much like the outside of the case it is very interesting and uniqe and has a very special style that may attract the audience or buyer of this C.D. Another thing that the Inside of the cover have done that the outside of the cover have done is wrote the artists name on the case again to show the audience this is there C.D it may also be to add to this graffiti look as there names look like it has been sprayed on a wall or the case to represent them. The C.D also has a sleeve that is interesting as it allows them to not take up space in the C.D for another slot to put the C.D in and therefore can put some more artwork in. The C.D pretty much follows the codes and conventions of a case and is just sitting in the slot compared to all the artwork you see in the case the C.D is a bit of a let down as there is nothing interesting about it.

Digipack analysis outside





Outside of the digipack
Codes and conventions
This digipack follows many codes and convention such as an adult advisory sticker like most albums with explicit content. The front of the C.D cover has the name of the artists like most albums/digipacks do. The album also has the name of the album on the cover like other albums/digipacks do as it makes the album stand out as an individual product. On the back of the digipack it has the name of the Songs on it as it gives the audience an indication of what type of genre or album this is also what songs are on there like most C.D’s do. There is also copyright information on the back of the digipack this is a lot of information about the C.D’s producers and distributers like most C.D’s do. Another code and convention is the fact there is a bar code on the back of the digipack. One of the codes and convention the digipack defies is that the artists are not on the C.D this shows that the artist is big enough for us to automatically know who they are. The digipack also follows the code and conventions of having the name of the artist on the side of it.

Description
The C.D has a very unique design on the front as it looks like graffiti it does not have a photo of the artists it also would attract a potential buyer of the C.D as it stands out more and is different the design looks as if has been sprayed on a wall as the background of the C.D looks like some sort of wall. The top left of the C.D has a MTV logo on it this could mean that they ever distributed it or they sponsoring it, I think more people would be attracted to this C.D if they saw this look. The name of the C.D is collision course indicating that the two artists ever clash or collide which makes the album sound unique. Also on the back of the C.D it looks as if Linkin parks name looks as if it has been sprayed on which works with the look of the rest of the album. On the spine of the C.D you can see the Artists name like you would on the other albums which may attract people. Another thing to do with this graffiti art look the album are going for the names of the songs looks like they have been written on a white part of graffiti almost as if they are graffiti as well. The adult advisory sticker on the album looks out of place on the albums graffiti look it makes the album almost look a bit weird as if it was me I would try and make a graffiti version to keep with the albums look.

Storyboard for our film


This is our storyboard for our music video.

Monday 1 November 2010

Time lapses of london

These types of videos is how we want our time lapses to look like as in the dream the girl/women will be travelling around london so this type of thing is how we would love for our music video to turn out.





what we did in lesson

We made a mood bored that expressed our artist's tastes it also shows the type of things we think we should put in our music videos, such as clubs and london monuments we can do time lapses on.

inspirations for our music video's

Her morning elegance
This video is interesting and has gave us a few ideas for our music video what we ant to do is have her dreaming and as the camera comes out of her dream she is dancing but in this animation way instead of us just filming a girl dancing it is a much more interesting way of looking at this video.



Faithless feeling good official music video


This is another inspiration as we have the idea of the girl dancing so we thought that waht we could do is see the girl dancing in her dream world club then we will cut back and see the girl dancing so its as if we give this idea she is dreaming.

Ray of light music video


This is another video it is actually the video that made us decide to use a time lapse as i n this video it works really well and will also work with our video as it is about a club and have dance music so the time lapse we will use is almost giving this connotation of a hectic club.
