Tyrone Francis- Digipak

Picture 1 is the original picture which we were going to use after being edited for our album front cover. However after audience feedback on the picture on the social networking site Facebook, we decided not to use it as alot of the feedback was negative and the audience believed that it didn't work well. As a result of this we came to the conclusion as a group that it would be better if we used computer graphics for our front cover using the Reaper (Picture 2). I created the digipak on Adobe Photoshop, using a template for the basic structure.

Picture 2

  This is one of the original pictures (Picture 1) which were taken during our first photoshoot. We decided that we liked the pose with the rock hand sign, however the facial expression which Nathan was making is not very 'Punk Rock' like. However there was another image (Picture 2) which was taken where the pose which Nathan was making was not very good as the hands were at an angle where the sign was not as clearly visable as we liked, however the facial expression was perfect. In order to take the strengths of each picture, I used Adobe Photoshop to edit the pictures together, taking the body and pose

of one picture and putting the head of the other picture on top (Picture 3). With this photo I made a concert looking scene using Adobe Photoshop, creating mist, as well as placing a phot of Jason (another member of the band) in the background.

Original Picture

For the band website I have edited a couple of pictures of rock band concerts to make it personal to the band and give off the feel of a real band which performs.

This is the original picture of a rock concert which i took and edited. Originally the band consisted of four members, there was a man on the left of the picture in a checkered shirt and the writing on the back of the stage said the word 'ROCK' (all circled). The lighting of the concert was a;so dominantly green which went against the bands chosen colour scheme of red which we have used consistently throughout the website


1st Edit



This is the 1st edited picture which i created. Originally I only changed the back drop to SUM41 in order to make it more personal and removed the fourth band member as our band only has 3 members. i also removed the person on the right hand side.

Final Edited Picture

This is the final edited picture which included the changes stated above but also changed the colour of the lighting to red to match the scheme of our website.

Original Picture

This is another picture of a rock band concert. This is the original.














Edited Version



This is the edited version of the picture. The only thing which I edited in this picture is the video on the screens. I replaced the original pictures with a screen shot from our video to make it seem like our production is playing on the screens for the crowd to see. 



Nathan Larkin - class members feedback videos

After showing the class our first cut I decided to go and film some feedback form the class members. This way they could give detailed analysis as to what they thought of the film and what could be improved etc.

Christopher Sziranyi - Feedback of Rough Cut

After showing our Rough Cut to the class, we got some very useful feedback which we will be able to use when making adjustments to our music video. The first and most important thing we need to change is the smoothenss of the video. In fairness, part of this was due to us not having some of the clips and having to make do with the clips we had. A good example of this is when Nathan throws the hat on the ground, and instantly starts running with the hat on again. We will quickly shoot these scenes again and in general make the transitions between cuts more smooth.

Another problem we had was the lack of a third band member for the 'flashback' part of the video. Because of this we only had 2 band members which created the unintentional portrayal of a 'relationship memories' scene. Again, this is something that will be re-filmed.

There was also a scene in the music video closer to the end, where the music cuts out and there is a scene of Nathan walking into the studio and being told that he is late. After this it cuts straight to the band performing. This scene didn't work well and according to the class it disrupted the flow of the music video. Therefore, we will get rid of this section completely.

There were also some minor issues which we as a group knew about but the class didn't necessarily notice. An example of this is in the beginning of the music video when I edited a split screen effect on Nathan jumping up from the bench. After jumping up from each angle, there seems to be a shaking effect which was also unintended.

The final thing I think we need is more cut-away shots which would remove some of the awkward transitions between Nathan running, and in general improve the smoothness of the video. If we are able to overcome all of these problems I think the music video could still be very successful as I believe it has potential.
