Starting the DigiPack

We looked at previous CD covers and posters and used these as inspiration for ours. We all went home and because the deadline was nearing we decided to throw together some ideas and we each made rough versions of the CD cover and poster. When the next lesson came around we talked about all of our ideas and after comparing ours to other Prodigy print based work we knew what we would create. Chris then started on the the print based work while myself and Michael updated the blog, including videos and pictures.

Video Complete - Time to edit

Happy we had all the shots we needed we spent the rest of our free time and lessons editing the final shot and touching up on edits earlier in the video, as the character falls to the ground at the end we show a shot of the Barman who served him the drink which caused all of this to happen, this then fades out and the video, along with the song ends. Finally we had the video complete, it was now time to create our digipack.

Human Imput 3 with Ending

After looking over it again we decided we wanted the extra human input for the ending so we re-shot the ending and this was my scene. The idea was for me to walk past the character whilst holding a drink and just as im about to take a drink; the character takes it off me and throws it on the floor. Unlike the shot with Michael, this scene we decided to make me react in a harsh way so after the character throws the drink on the floor. I spin him around and head but him, this time the character retreats and we continue the scene and film the ending. The character goes around the corner and ends up at a “Danger of Death” sign; the character starts to shake and eventually falls to the ground.

Editing the ending

Although we planned on having another human input we realised the original ending we made without the human input started off at a car park which is where the scene before ended. We managed to make it look as though it was all one shot and after adding some small effects the video seemed complete.

Editing

When we edited this shot we added a lot of effects over the clip because of the beats in the song at this time and then the song completely slows down with lots of short beats. For this we reduced the speed of the shot and did a jump cut for each individual beat. Because there was so many small beats this took a long time but eventually we got it how we wanted it and it looked very good.

Human Input 2

We continued with the filming the following lesson and this time it was Chris’ scene. In this shot we made it look as if he was homeless on the floor with money in a hat, the “possessed” person then comes over and takes some of the money and carry’s on and ends up in the car park, unfortunatly because of the increased speed of the video, it was very difficult to get a shot that you clearly see him taking the money. We got a lot of strange looks from people doing this shot but we just re-assured them it was just part of the video and we wasn’t actually stealing.

Editing

The next two lessons we spent editing these clips but it was clear it made the video look more professional. We had to make a lot of adjustments to the restaurant shot because of the time it was shot, it looked a lot darker than the other clips but eventually we got it close to the colour of the other shots.
