CONSTRUCTION - Second Editing Session

I uploaded the new clips onto the computer converted them from .mov files to .mpeg files so that they were able to be used in Adobe Premiere, to which i then imported them. The next thing i had to do was sort through the clips, and then drag the clips onto the sequence. Once they were here, using the razor tool, i cut them to the length that was needed, and got rid of the un-needed footage. I then reduced the sound on the clips to 0 by dragging the yellow decibel line downwards, which meant that when the video was played, the sound from the song seemed as though it was the sound in the actual video.

CONSTRUCTION- Second Day of Filming

We did our second day of filming on 30th November in the afternoon. We filmed at Samamtha & Alex's dad's house, in the bedroom. We created a party scene with me, Samantha, Alex & Susan. We used props such as bottles of alcohol, make-up and made the room look messy so that it look as though there was a party there. During the party scenes we filmed Samantha lip-syncing the song. To aid her in doing so we played the song in the background. This made the timing more accurate.
We had to make sure that Samantha wore the same outfit from the first day of filming. One of the problems we encountered was poor lighting we had to adjust the lights in the room and open the curtains to make sure the lighting was good and the filming that we did could be used.

CONSTRUCTIONN - Website

To create the website, you got to File>New Site.











Next, we were asked to select a template for the website. We chose the 'Cloud 9' template, as we felt this was the one that suited our artist, Katy Perry, the most.
The title of the page was 'Welcome To Katy Perry's Website'.






To create a new page for the 'Bio', you go to File>NewPage. Then, you rename the page.









 This is the 'Bio' page. I have included the title 'About Katy'. On the left side, I have inserted a text box with information about Katy Perry and on the right, I have included a picture of the artist.






Here is the the page for the radiospot.
To include the radiospot in the website you have to make it into a video. To do so, you put the radiospot into Adobe Premiere with an image of the artist. Then you upload it onto Youtube and then onto the website on iWeb.



This is page is for the music video. We uploaded the music video by placing it onto Youtube first.









This is the page for the images we took whilst filming the video. We have placed them in a slideshow so that it is easier for the user to scan through the pictures.







We have used the same theme of 'Cloud 9' throughout the entire website to keep consistency and make sure that the website reflects the image we are trying to portray for the artist and also to make the website look professional.

CONSTRUCTION - First editing session

The first editing session required a fair amount of work, since there was a lot to upload and set up. I started of by exporting the film into AdobePremier Pro then edited the clips from there. There were various gaps in the music video having only filmed shots of Samantha by herself. However I still managed to produce a good piece of editing as the music was in sync with the lip syncing and the shots flowed well together. Overall the editing went quite well and was done fairly quickly. Also, since this was the first day of editing I had to download the 'I kissed a girl' sound track from youtube then convert it into an mp3 file in order to export it into Adobe. To d this I used a website called 'video2mp3'.

CONSTUCTION - First day of filming

Today we did 8 stages of the story board, we focused on the first bit of the song where we filmed quick shots of the aftermath of the party such as, drink bottles and pillows. We made sure that all scenes linked not only with eachother but with the song. Seeing as we did not have all group members present we could only film scenes that didn't need all of us, which is why I was not part of todays filming as I was part or the scenes thay involved everyone. To make sure all the scenes would be in syn with song I played I kissed a girl. To ensure the music video was not boring we used a range of different shots such as low angle and high angle shots. We didn't really struggle with anything as everything was quite straight forward. The easiest thing about todays filming was filming the beginning of the music video as all we had to do was film a variety of shots from the party.

CONSTRUCTION - Radiospot - Step By Step


To create the radio spot,  we opened Garageband and started a new project using the 'Voice' option.












It was then saved as 'Chify Fm - Radiospot'
To add a voice recording, you click the round record button at the bottom of the screen.  There are different types of effects that can be used on the voice recordings. We decided to use 'Female Basic' for our first recording.













To add sound effects to the intro of the radiospot, we used 'Communication Static' followed by 'Club Dance Beat 049'.
Finally, we added the song to the radiospot after the conversation between the radio DJ's and the listener. We placed the song slightly under the ended of the conversation so that it flows into the song easily and gradually gets louder.

CONSTRUCTION - Green Screen

Firstly I saved the green screen video on to the adobe after effect to edit the video.
I then needed to start getting rid of the green background. I clicked on a icon and clicked on the green background so the software knew what colour to get rid of.
 I had to slide the icon to the right until no more green could be taken off and to make sure Samantha’s figure was clear and there was no parts of her body that was see through. I repeated this three times until all the green background was gone and it was black.

After the screen was completely black i got a picture of the sky and saved in on to the desktop and inserted it inti the video.


When this was done I inserted the video into premier pro to edit the video again. I edited the video from before and after i edited the green screen from it going from a green background to a sky background to show the difference.




This is the finished project of samantha flying in the sky

PLANNING-Research on Album Covers



Here I have chosen 4 album covers from diferent artist.  I like the four picture album covers, as i think that it stands out and is very eye catching which is what we would want for our album covers. Both Nicki Minaj and Selena Gomez's album cover's have a girly feel to them, which is represented throught the use of colours. In addition the picture used in Selena Gomez's album cover links to the name of the album. Also fragmentation of the body is used in the album cover  which is something we want to use when we design our own albums.
