Production Log

Today I completed the back cover for our CD casing. The problems I faced was trying to find the appropriate shot glass to place on the back and also choosing the right colour for the background. I started off with a dark grey, but after fiddling around with the gradient tool, I eventually stuck with the gradient going from light grey to white, and I also added lines I the corners and changed the colour of the text.

Location Shots

For one of the locations in our video, we started  using my living to showcase the point at which the lead band mates come round to help their friend take a load of from a long day at work but eventually after we had to re-shoot this scene, we used one of our actors houses instead.

Today I scanned my story board into Photoshop but I also forgot to do my ancillary tasks which I shall be doing by next week. The problems I faced today on Photoshop was saving the images as a JPEG, once I saved them on to my usb they still came up as a Photoshop file, so I had to delete then resave. Eventually I came across another problem which was uploading my photos onto blogger; I then found out that I had to create a Picasa Web account to upload my photos on to the site. Once this was done I was able to load the first couple pages of my story board.

Today I retook the photos for our magazine advertisement and the still images of the shot glass for the intro of our video. The problem I had with the camera was trying to focus the lens, but eventually I was able to do so and then using the tripod did not help because the camera had a different angle to it. So I decided to take the pictures free hand and they came out clear.

Today I uploaded the pictures I took yesterday of the shot glass. I started to design the back of the CD cover, I dropped some of the images in and played around with the ones I thought looked best against the light brown background. The problem I faced today was the colour of the font for the title because Halima experimented using a gradient on the title for the advertisement but this didn’t work well with the background for the CD cover. They didn’t correlate well so I ended up leaving the text as dark grey whilst the background was a light shade of brown. I will continue to play around with different colours and images and see what work well with each other.

Production Log

Today Augustine and I started shooting the very opening of our groups music video, Halima unfortunately couldn't make it. We had slight issues of trying to find a table cloth to place on the table. We eventually found one and had to iron it as it was slightly creased. Once this was solved, we were able to get the footage we needed.
