New shooting In greenwich

On Tuesday after school my group met in Plumbstead and then went later to Greenwich's famous attraction Cutty Sark/ Greenwich University to film. We wanted to use this change of scenery as a way to add some elegance to our music video. This was due to the historical and beautiful architecture which can be found there. Another, great benefit was that this was the first shoot we did without much day light. This contributed wonderfully because the songs called day and night and wouldn't be complete if not having at least one scene done in natural dark lighting. So it was very helpful to have these scenes to add to our music video overall increasing its authenticity.

Props and costume

I was in charge of the prop and costume for our film. So i wanted to add all the iconic values of a Hip-Hop to the video that i could. I thought to do this by getting jewellery such as ringsthat helped to make him look like richer than this past gang members. 

I also had him where designer clothing to show that his lifestyle has improved as well as his standard of living. I got a variety of designer clothing that were well known brand and could be associated with an expensive lifestyle. Brands such as LV and Ralph Lauren

Another job i was responsible for ,was locations of filming. I had to scout locations that i thought would fit our genre of music and the vibe of our music video. This included Places around my area of Thamesmead and Greenwich, as well as Welling.

Costume for second shots

These are the costume props I chose for the shoot we had on last week. This shoot proved to be very successful as we had a lot of great shots during it. The location we used to shoot was within the same area near my house.

Feed back sheets for the final edit of Day N Nite

These are the finally feedback sheets my group got from our classmates to create our master piece.

Completed DigiPack

Through the making of the digipack i ran through a numerous amount of issues which i had to first learn techniques from the simple magic wand and altering layers to add vivid effects such as a fade or decrease in saturation. I also learn how to imprint found images in my pictures making them my own. An example is adding barcodes, and a parental advisory sign to my digipack. It also involved a lot of editing and measuring which was very tedious to make my work look more authentic and precise. This was done by using simple techniques such as moving rulers down and side with photoshops rulers located on the left side and top. Although it proved difficult, i am very proud of my final product.

FeedBack Sheet

These feedback sheets were very helpful as they helped me to gain a better insight on how to improve my digipack and magazine cover.
