Post 42: Storyboards

I finally added my storyboards

Changes
Scott no longer goes to a trainstation
Scott no longer wears an over coat

Changes
There are no overshoulder shots. They were cut out due to continuity and time concern

Changes
Scott no longer rolls down a hill.

Changes
There is nolonger a third robot
It is not in a multistory car park
It's shot during the day
The mise en sceine of the car is much more a tool now
Didnt film the iconic scene where scott is surrounded and the lights go out

Overall changes
There were now two robots as opposed too 1
The product became more comic than originally intended

These were actually completed some time ago before filming.
The anitial idea of him being the back of the car changed as is seen in the storyboars. Orriginally my music video was just meant to be a scenic video with iconic imagery but as time went on i transformed it into a more comic terminator kind of video. I think that this will have more appeal.

Post 41: Album advertisements

This post is to research album advertisements so i can obtain ideas for my album advertisement.

This advertisement is for Blink 182

I like the simplicity and strtucture. The fact that the band are the main focus of t advertisement. Simple yet effective publishing
However i feel that maybe that the colours (dry brown) provides a warn effect, however the contrast of the colours on the album draw your eyes to that as an imediate focus

These advertisements are for green day

I shall mainly focus on the first advertisement as it is too do with the album. I like the artistic license. The record itself has a political theme, therefore by adding the imagery it provides the characteristics to the what the album will be like. I also like the use of colours, they provide a classy sepier effect almost like the picture was portrayed on a brown paper bag, which i feel is a cool effect

This advertisement is for daft punk

This advertisement coincides with the release of a walt disney movie. Tron. The reason i like this is because that it isn't only promoteing daft punk but promoteing the film. I like the futuristic and dark vibe. Its simple yet effective and i feel that in this case less really is more.

This advertisement is for U2

This is an example of cross media convergance. They aren't promoting an album but a product (the blackberry), distributors use established household names to shift units. I like the imagery and the red vortex/ arena. It provides an epic out of this world vibe

Post 40: Whats happening now

The music video and editing has been finished. I shall be putting everything up soon i promise. It's been a buisy few weeks but the end product has been finished. The next part is finishing the album advetisement and then my extended piece, which will be another video.

Post 39: Random videos of progress

These are just a random assaurtment of videos to monitor my progression

Post 38: Finished filming, nearly

Yesterday on Sunday 10th I wrapped up filming for my video of Robots 1 humans 0. The only piece of footage i have left is to capture the protagonist disapearing as a train passes but appart from that I am done. I also managed to take some photos of the band posing. The band were all characters within the video. The pictures shall be the content of the album advertisment in a musical magazine. I obtained alot of positive feedback about my demo album art with one person actually claiming that i should use it. Acting upon this feedback i have decided to retain the artwork that i created.

The next part of the project is getting the other video finished.

Post 37: Whats happening tomorrow

On Sunday the 10th of April I am aiming to conblude filming my music video for robots 1 humans 0. However at the last moment i have had to change the ending and final act to my video. Due to an unforseign event happening with one of the actors i have had to change the ending to there being just two robot's. Hopefully i should be able to create a new concept in time for tomorrow.

In the meantime, expect more videos, album art, storyboards and album advertisement. Ive got a new and faster computer now that should hopefully upload everything and anything.

Post 36: pictures

These are some more shots of another place in Epsom. This place was originally planned as the alternative to Epsom ruins. I was going to use this place because it's full of graffiti and looks quite grim

This picture was taken in Little Hampton and was taken in September. I originaly went to little Hampton in order to obtain shots for my album advertisement. I also shot the opening sequance of my video their.

This is shot taken for the rave band the prodigy. I really liked the grim atmosphere on the bridge. I also wanted to know if there was a local area that was similar to the area in the picture. I want a picture like this for the album advertisement.

This is the closest area that i could find. This is at littlehampton. It's a little too friendly for the image I was trying to convey. However i do like this image

These shots were takenon the hill were Ben chases scott
