Changing during editing music video together 

When editing my footage together I realized that I didn't like the video that I had invisioned when creating my music video. When in the creative environment I found that the cinematgraphy and editing didn't really suit my song, and was quite slow. So I felt like it would be better to 'play around' when editing and basically do what I wanted. Now I have nearly finished editing, there are some elements that are how I planned them to be in my story board, however quite a lot of it has changed. I also realized that there was too much of the artist in the music video, and I felt I needed to add some location shots and  inanimate objects in order to create meaning and a story, for example I have added several shots of flowers.

Idea for ancillary text - CD case

I have decided that instead of having all images on my CD case very wild and edgy images, I am going to have the two cover image as being very girly and tame, and then the images inside being very wild and edgy. This will represent the two sides to every female, the person she is behind closed doors and the person she shows to the general public.

Photo shoot for ancillary text plus additional filming 

Today I will use the green room at college to take pictures for my ancillary text, this is because there is professional lighting in there and a plain background, hopefully making my images look as pro as they can be. I am also going to film some footage for my video, only short shots of her to place in parts of my music video. 

Adding ancillary text and music video makeup ideas to a google image



When taking pictures of my model for my ancillary text I find it hard to make the makeup look as professional as possible, so I often add makeup/blend the already visible makeup using Photoshop. I also blend the complexion of the skin of my model using Photoshop (tools such as Gaussian blur, and the paint brush tool). Above is the process of how I add makeup to images. When planning the makeup for my photo shoots and music video the image in the tutorial above is the one I used to plan the makeup. As you can see in the original image the model is wearing no makeup and her hair is tied back, making it easier to edit. In the tutorial above I have excessively edited this image, in order to practice all possible skills that I could use. Practiced my Photoshop editing skills has helped me a lot, especially for when I edit my ancillary texts. As I am fully aware of how to edit an image it makes making the ancillary text a lot easier, and means I can get them done quicker.
