Glow Paint Editing

We finally got our last shoot finished and started adding the glow in the dark shots to the rest of out video and it is looking really good. The glow in the dark shots came out a lot better than we expected, the pink was especially effective on her lips and we have used it on a few over lapping shots too.  The overlapping shots was something we had planned to do but we are all so pleased with the outcome as it doesn't look amateur like we expected it might have. 

Album Art (Part One)

Here are 5 different album artworks they are all of different genres. I am going to analyse them in detail and then look more in detail at one from our chosen genre and the one that is my personal favourite.

Album art is an important part of the sale process of music especially when it is in stores such as HMV. But our main interest in the artwork is for a digi-pack which is seen on iTunes when purchasing a single or album.  A digi - pack is shown next to the single which can be used to attract the audience to buy another single from the album or buy the album.

So whilst looking at album art I will be taking into account how it looks online and how well it targets the audience. I will also be thinking about the importance of album art and how many people actually view the digi - pack as a pose to when people purchase the physical album.

True Love - Pink

Review

• What I absolutely love about this video is the craziness, there is so much going on in this video it isnt a crafted storyline but its realistic and the style of a montage is fantastic. There is footage from the singer's life including tours, family life and backstage which are all used to create the perfect sequence of shots. It inspires me to want to be as creative with the music video I will produce in a team. 
•  The chaos is what keeps you watching, the fact that the audience cant guess what will happen next and it could be anything there is no way of guessing as it doesnt have a typical storyline.
• The most interesting thing about this video is the use of a green screen, there are a variety of shots that the background has been put in. The pop art style backgrounds not only look attractive to a viewer they are also adding to the chaos and its a very creative way of using the green screen that doesnt look fake. I also love the performance as some of it is genuine footage of her family. 
• From this particular music video I have learnt that a montage can look effective in a music video if you have enough footage that is relevant and you dont try to make it look to serious the fact that this video embraces the chaos and it is all about the singer having fun makes it easier to watch.
• The only thing about this video that I really would want to avoid is the montage element although it looks great in this video I think it would involve a lot of work and dependant on our time scale I dont think it would be possible to create a montage music video that would look professional.
