Full Album Art 4

This is another full album I have created. I used the same fonts and layout as a preious one but I removed the bottom design and changed the necklace. I think this one looks better and more attractive because its more natural.

Up Date

In the process of creating my mocks up of posters and album covers I am also filming my draft video. I have filmed the first two versus and am currently figuring out days with my actress so it can fit between school, my work and her schedule.

Full Album Art 3



This is the 3rd full album that I have created. I have taken it from the album cover I have created but just changed the font because the actual album is called Whitney Houston. I have also used the picture from the poster.

Full Album Art 2

This is the second full album I have created. I prefer this than the first one because it relates to love and it represents Whitney in that way because of her posture in the picture. The only thing that may be changed is the zebra print. I think it looks effective as it shows Whitney's personality.

Full Album Art 1



After creating many mock ups of posters and album covers, I now have to create mock ups of full album art covers. I decided to choose current album covers to convert into full albums. But I also tried to think of some new ideas that I thought may be helpful. The following are mock ups I have created.

Survey

Poster 10

This is similar to the previous poster but I changed the back ground behind the title. I did this because it would then stand out that extra bit and I wanted to see what my idea looked like on paper rather than in my mind.

Poster 9


This is another poster I have created. I like the idea of the title because the album is called the same as her name and it is attractive because it also has a picture of whitney on the front.

Poster 8

This is the 8th poster. I chose this because the woman is sad so it shows she is thinking of some thing. The red line represents the love and because the name of the song is featured on the poster it again gives it away that it is about love.

Poster 7

This is the 7th poster. I like the style of black and white because it shows how the woman feels, especially with her sitting how she is. Also the instrument can show how she expresses her feelings - through her music.

Poster 6

This is the 6th poster. It is similar to the previous one because I have used the same fonts but I wanted to try it with a different picture because I wasn't sure how well it would work. I think the fonts work well but I may try a different layout, which will be posted in the next few posts.

Poster 5



This is the 5th poster I have made. I chose it because the face shows sadness and the writing shows the love she has. The blackness can represent that there is nothing else in her life that she would rather have, so it is blank and all she cares about is the love for that man.

Poster 4



This is my 4th poster that I have created. I think it goes with what I aim to achieve because the moral of the story is about a woman who wants a man but he has a family so she is down the dumps and the rain represents that.

Poster 3



This is thd 3rd poster that I have created. I like the idea, although I am not over keen on the way the writing is layed out. I could not think of any other way that suited it at that particular time but I'm sure if I used this as part of my final piece I would alter the way the titles were layed out.

Poster 2



This is the second poster that I have created. I dont really like it but I put it on my blog to show you my ideas.

Friday, 13 November 2009

Poster 1



This is the first poster I desgined. It appeals to me and I think that it mainly because of the colours and the way the title is layed out. The woman on the front is obviously sad and in deep thought which represents the atmosphere and the feeling behind the song.

Album Cover 9



This is another cover. This time a picture of Whitney Houston was used to see if it looked any better or more related to the song.

Album Cover 8



I am using these sorts of images to portray the story across easily. I think it gives the audience a good idea on how the individual is feeling.

Thursday, 12 November 2009

Album Cover 7



This is the 7th cover I have created. In my opinion I think I have chosen a hard song to do when it comes to creating an album cover but I'm sure I will create a decent one for my final cover.

Album Cover 6



This is another album cover I created. I don't think this would be used as my final one because its not one of my favourites but I included it because I wanted to show my ideas. I gained this idea from thinking of the lyrics and remembering a video I have seen before.

Album Cover 5



This is another album cover that I have created. I have used the same image as a previous cover, I did this because I wanted to experiment to see if it would look any better. In my opinion it does but I am still sure I can create even better ones.

Album Cover 4



This is the fourth cover I have created. I think I am progressing well and I am sure I will think of more ideas.

Album Cover 3

Album Cover 2



This is the second album cover I designed. Once again it is simple but it shows its about a woman that is sad and gives away the basic story.

Album Cover 1



This is my first attempt at creating an album cover. I wanted to keep it simple because its about a woman that wants a man who has a family. It is the first idea that came into my mind as I thought of this song so I am hoping to develop my ideas from this.

Update

Now I have created my anamatic, story board and ahve the basic analysis in words, I am now currently filming my video and coming to grips with the new editing programme - Pinnacle 12. I am finding it difficult to get used to but I am getting there. Aswell as filming I will also be creating mock ups of album covers and a poster. I have to have a full version of an album cover, that includes the front cover, back cover and inside. I can also use pictures from the interent but for my final piece I have to use a picture of my own. So my plan is to start off using internet pictures and then choose the one I think is best and take my own picture that resembles that. Also the same with the poster.

□ Tracking shot of when car drives away



I chose to sum up what I wanted to do for the video in words because for some people it is easier to picture what you want to happen through words and for others it is easier through pictures, so I decided to create both because who ever sees my plan can look at it from every aspect and also Im hoping it may help me when filming.

Anamatic



This is an anamatic that I have created. It includes various pictures that symbolise what I aim to achieve. I hope that when filming my video it will help me see the features I need to take into consideration and the techniques I need to use. By putting this anamatic together it has already made me take notice that I need to perfect my timings or else it wont look like the perfect music video, that is because I am already learning the basics of technology so its like I am practising before I put my final product together. There are some long duration pictures in this anamatic and that is because I will be doing some techniques like zooming in and changing angles, I just couldn't really show it on the video. The ideas I got for this were taken from my story board posted below.

Story Board








This is the story board I created from using the detailed analysis of the lyrics. The drawings are not very good as I am no artist but you can make out what is meant to be happening. The order goes from top to bottom and left to right. Using this I will create an anamatic that will be a little bit clearer but this gives me a great idea when producing my final video. This relates to what I would like the outcome to be so I have included close ups of hands to represent what I do want to happen.

Location Powerpoint

rCheck out this SlideShare Presentation:

This powerpoint consists of location shots that I think may give a better idea of what I am thinking. I am currently in the process of filming my video and I think by doing this is helped.

Location Analysis



This analysis consists of location settings only. It goes through the whole lyrics and states what location I think would be best for that particular line. I chose to do it that way because then it analyses the lyrics in detail and each line will have its own meaning specifically related to each concept.

Camera Analysis



Here I am analysing the lyrics for just the camera techniques and angles. Once again I hope by doing it this way it will be in more detail and easier for me to see what needs to be done.

Mise-en-Scene Analysis



This is the analysis for mise en scene. It tells me what would need to be in the frame and everything around, including what needs to be worn. This will give off a better impression of the song and in my opinion I think it is helping to analyse the lyrics separately.
