Setup for our stop motion music video

These photographs show the setup which we had for our stop motion. They show that we had a light set up facing the ceiling to bounce of the light to create the same light throughout our filming. One of these photographs shows the camera which we used to take the photographs for our stop motion. This camera was linked to the mac book by a USB cable.

Digipac research - Scouting For Girls: Everybody Wants To Be On TV

To the right is the album cover of the digipac for Scouting For Girls's album 'Everybody Wants To Be On TV'.  This album cover really stands out; this being because of the bright colours. The band name is written in white which really makes it stand out. Then the album title also stands out as it is in a yellow star. The way how the important information stands out made me think that this could be a good idea for my album cover for my digipac. I think that I should have a one colour background but with the wording being in a contrasting colour to make it really stand out.

To the left is the back cover of the digipac. There are clear links between the front and back cover these are: the main bacground is the same colour red, and there is blue and yellow strips around the edges. The track listing is written in white (like the band's name) and this makes it really stand out. The idea of having the back cover looking similar to the front cover i am going to use - i am going to have one main colour running through out the digipak to create continuity.



To the right is the CD from the album. The background of this is the blue from the front and back covers of the digipac. The letters are written in white (like on the digipac). These colours links all of the digiac together and the CD. I would like to be able to create my disk to be the same colour as my digipak however, i will not be able to do this as we do not have the correct equipment/software to make this happen.

Digipac and Poster research - Paramore: Riot

The album Riot by Paramore has a very clear image which relates to both the digipac and the album poster.

This is because the front cover of the digipac has the word riot repeated many times in different sizes in black. (The front cover of the digipac is shown opposite.) However the digipac then has riot written in capital letters in red with an exclamation point. This makes it stand out from the rest making it clear that 'Riot' is the main title.




To the left is the back cover of the digipac. The back cover is linked to the front cover because it shows riot being repeated many times in black letters. Then the track listing is written in red, making it obvious that it is the most important part on the back page.




To the right is the poster which represents the album. This poster has clear links with the digipac because it has the same backgrounnd as the front and back cover of the digipac (the black writing of riot). This poster has a photograph of the band which takes up about half of the poster.


I thought that the idea of having the main word repeated many times on the page was a good idea. This helped me decide that we should have this somewhere in our stop motion music video - for example where 'your lies' is repeatedly sang in the song.


Below are some songs by Paramore which gave me some inspiration for ideas what i could add into my music video:

This video gave me inspiration because on the wall it has the albm title written many time and i am going to have important words repeated in my music video.

This video gave me inspiration because during the corus there are many letters on top of each other and i thought this might be a good idea to do for my corus in my music video.

Track listing for album

1. Barcelona
2. 40 Steps to Rhona
3. Write me off

Reasons why I researched photographs of guitars and missiles

I researched these photographs because they relate to the songs which will be on the album. The missiles will relate to the song 'missiles of love', and the guitar will relate to the folk genre of the music. I am also going to have pictures of love hearts and friends leaning on the guitar (which will relate to the 'lean on your friends' song on the album).

My idea for the poster/cover is to have a guitar in the middle with stairs along the neck, on either side of the guitar there are going to be people holding it up to make it seem as if the guitar could lean on them. Missiles are going to be on the page (shooting out love hearts) .

Photographs of cartoon missiles for research for my poster and digipac

I researched these because they related to one of the songs by Uncle Shaker 'Missiles of Love' however i have decided not to use this idea because it will not create good final product. I believe that i would be able to create a better final outcome if i did not use this idea.

Photographs of guitars for research for my poster and digipac

I have found all of these photographs of guitars because i was thinking about using them on my digipak however, i have decided that i do not want to use this idea anymore. This is because i believe that if i used these photographs the final outcome would not be as good if i would have done a different idea for my ancillary products.

Photographs for my stop motion animation

The photographs above are from one of my scenes of my stop motion animation. These different photographs show the process which had to be taken to get our final result. These photos shows that we had to get the couple to walk slowly across the location so we were able to take photographs with a high shutter speed. After getting these photographs we had to print them off and then cut them out, in order to place them on the different location backgrounds to create our stop motion animation.

What I learnt from my practice stop motion

From my practice stop motion animation, I learnt what I needed to change for my final stop motion animation music video.

These included:

• I needed to plan out each individual photograph before trying to take them.
• I needed to keep going onto the correct camera settings to take the photographs (because it changed after ever twenty photographs).
• I learnt that choosing the correct location was important because otherwise a lot of people walk in front of the photographs, or the tripod had to be moved to let people walk through the doors (which we were near).
• I learnt that it is important to try to keep the tripod level because otherwise the photographs were not straight.

Practice for our stop motion

The photographs above are from my practice shoot for my stop motion animation. This shows how we had to take 12 photographs per second, this was so we could take the photographs, so then we could cut them out and move them on the background. This practice was needed in order to make sure that we were prepared for when we were taking the photographs for the real advanced production.
