Constructing the Advert

Constructing The Digipak

I took original photos of the band members standing behind a blank wall for our digipak, I told them to stand behind a blank wall as it would make it easier for us to edit on Adobe Photoshop.

On Adobe Photoshop, I was exposed to all types of tools, effects and filters that could be used to enhance our digipak. We also experimented with a variety of fonts.

Editing the Music Video

After we finished filming the shots we needed for our music video at the various locations we went to, we uploaded all the footage onto a computer and started to edit the music video using Adobe Premiere Pro. We used one particular shot as our master shot, adding shots over this and matching the speed of the shots to go with the beat of the song we used. We also made sure we would to cut to as many shots as possible to create the feel of the video being fast paced as it is a convention seen in so many other music videos. 

A lot of mistakes were made at first as seen in our rough cut with common ones being that the  visuals were not lip synced to the music or particular shots were either too long or too short. We were, however, finally able to come up with a final cut of our music video.
