What I used whilst filming

Here are a collection of photographs of the equipment I used whilst filming my music video: To the left is an image of the tripod I used to stand and hold the camera on to create a still straight image. This tripod is the 'Velbon CX480' edition. As I was filming shots outside I needed a way to play music whilst still being outside, so I came up with the idea of downloading The Saturdays song and then converting it into a format for my phone so then I could play the music where ever I was. With playing it on a phone its projects music out loud well unlike trying to play it aloud on a music mp3.

Animatic Storyboard

This is my animatic I created of my storyboards to show the basic plot and scenes of my music video. I played the song of the video aswell to create a better feel for the inital idea of the storyboard.

Final Advert

This is what our final advert looked like. We decided to alter some parts of the advert if you compare this to the original design, however still kept to the basic design. The most difficult part to making this poster was when we had to edit the photographs and how to make the photo background blend in with the rest of the advert background as it was not a primary basic colour. Cutting part of the top of the photograph we were able to continually copy and paste this several times up and down the advert. This gave us a great background which all blended together. My two favourite parts to the poster is the image and the font of the writing. They all tie in well together and contrast well. One problem we came across was that for the writing of the dates of the tour we had downloaded a specialized font which made the poster look a bit my stylish. However uploading the advert to other computers it wouldn't allow us to keep the same text and they automatically changed them to a default. We found no way round this. However this wasn't too big of an issue and  personally I still think the poster looks great. 

Target Audience feedback 
We were very keen to find out what our target audience thought of our advert and so creating a questionnaire enabled us to see the responses. Overall they were all quite positive.

Editing part of Advert

Here are a few print screens that I took whilst making our advert. Looking at the print screens you can see how we edited certain things and see which programs we used. We used three main programs, these were, Microsoft Publisher, Photoshop and Paint. We thought that these were the most appropriate programs to use whilst creating the advert. 

As you can see one of the main effects on the advert is with the main image. We wanted the main image to be in greyscale yet we wanted to allow the checkered shirts to stay coloured. We thought that this would be an effective effect. Unfortunately I was not sure how to do this and so had to research. Looking on the Internet allowed me to find a step by step way to do it. On photoshop, you add layers and altering each layer you can create this effect. I was very pleased with how this went and loved the effect it gave.
