Creative camera use

In our music video we used a number of visual effects to create the chosen influences tone 'Paranormal activity'. In our shots signifying a mysterious occurance we added a 'radial blur' to the shot to create an eery feel. Another effect we created through creative camera use was through the use of editing. This creative camera use is when the girl is sitting on a chair and then disapears. We created this by filming the chair with the girl and without the girl and then edited the two together. The shots came out perfectly and the editing creates a sudden disapearance.



When creating the ghostly figure we used blurring tools to create a mysterious atmosphere.

Rejected Footage

Here are some of the shots we decided to reject and not use in our music video. As a group we were cautious of filming shots for the correct amount of time. However, when creating our ghostly figure we wasted footage filming the wall for to long and this footage was then not needed for our final music video.

The reason we decided to reject this shot, was due to the lack of eye contact shown in the shot. The shot was meant to be placed originally at the beginning of the music video highlighting our paranormal activity influence. I feel we should have used this shot anyway to highlight this.

Digipack

In these two flatplans, I felt that I would look at promoting 'The Montagues' digipack through placing pictures of the band members on the front and inside of the digipack to appeal to their fan base.

I wanted my digpack to be slightly eery and peircing creating an impact. The flat plan above is the front flatplan and below is the bottom flatplan, although both simple, the images I have used mirror 'The Montagues' indie rock style through the use of the instruments and the bold statements. The front image of the girl, is an idea I was influenced by due to one of our influences 'Paranormal activity' and shows the girls fear of the ghostly figure.

With the three sketches I created for my digipack, I wanted to create a bold digipack that would stand out to the chosen target audience. This first flat plan is of an idea for a front cover, the scary house reflects our influence Paranormal activity. This image also reflects 'The Montagues' genre as horror styles are in 'Foo Fighters' promo packs. The inside with the guitarist, reflects the genre 'indie rock' and creates a laid back feel to the target audience.

Shooting Diaries

Shooting Schedule

We created a shooting schedule so that we were sure what we wanted for each shot and when we planned to film.
