Construction
- Indesign
- Indesign was the initial drafted software used to
help draft our ancillary texts. The reason we started
using Indesign instead of the widely popular
Photoshop was so that we could develop our skill
set and knowledge amongst other software. Due to
the previous knowledge which we obtained from
our foundation portfolio on Photoshop we had a
decent level of understanding on design software.
From this we was able to transfer our already
existing skill set and implement that into Indesign.
However in comparison of both pieces of software
we decided to use Photoshop in the end down to
the superior confidence in which we had with it.
- Youtube
- YouTube was our chosen multi platform in which we decided to
used to distribute our final production on. The reason why we
chose YouTube was because it is the number one leading
platform World Wide and it commonly used by users millions
of times per day. A long side with this it is regularly available
for any user to use on any platform, in any location as long as
Internet connection is available. In a competition aspect nearly
all global superstars within the music industry will have their
production on YouTube, so in the hunt for success we decided
to follow suit.
- iPhone
- After myself and the artist decided to go over the local park and captured
some urban footage, we went back to the Macs to review the footage. On
review we was highly shocked of how good the quality of the footage was.
After this moment we compared the two bits of footage on each device
and it ws abundantly clear that the footage on the iPhone was on a
completely different level. Shortly after we planned the next convenient
day to go and capture some new footage, but to also go back and re-film
the exciting footage. To maximise stability and to be able to film a range of
different and effective shots we decided to use a selfie stick to help achieve
this. This combination of the selfie stick and iPhone was extremely
effective and enabled us to obtain some quality footage.
- Bluetooth Speaker
- The primary focus of us using the bluetooth
speaker was to enable the artist to hear the
soundtrack so that the lip syncing would have a
higher chance of being in time. This was
imperative as it will ensure that our overall
production would be at a much higher quality
and when it came to the editing it would be
much easier to match up the artist to the
soundtrack. For certain shots we decide to put
the speaker in the artist hood just to make sure
that he could clearly hear the track and the
lyrics.
- Headphones
- Headphones played a vital role in the construction stage
of editing the music video. They allowed us to listen to
the soundtrack at a high volume which was vital in
allowing us to match up the footage of the lip syncing,
in time. In spite of this it also aloud us to work in a
enclosed area without distracting people or in the same process annoying them.
- Adobe Premier Pro CS6
- This editing software was the one in which we had
superior knowledge and experience in due to using it
in our foundation portfolio. Therefore this provide us
with a tough decision in which we had to make
between choosing what software in which we
wanted to use. Through having previously used
Adobe Premier Pro CS6 and using it for the start of
the advanced portfolio we made the decision down
to various factors that Final Cut Pro would be much
more efficient.
- Final Cut Pro
- Final Cut Pro was under large consideration
for the editing stage for our production We
started of by using Adobe Premier Pro CS6
for a short while but in the end decided to
go with Final Cut Pro. This was down to the
fact that we found it a much more user
friendly and effective piece of software to
use in terms of the product that we was try
to achieve.
- Sony HD Camera
- From the initial start of the planning stage and in
terms of the production we decided to use the Nikon
camera which was provided for us to use by team
member Seun. However we encountered a few
problems when using this camera which consisted of
the very short battery life and on review the poor
video quality. Due to the poor quality after our first
day of filming on review we decided a change of
camera was imperative. Shortly after we took a
strong liking to using our iPhones due to the 4K
filming quality features in which they posse.
- Photoshop
- Photoshop was the main software in which we decided to use for the
creation of majority of our ancillary texts. This consisted of the advert,
poster, tour date poster and the digipak. Through Photoshop we was able
to achieve several effects such as moving images, cutting and combining
them together. It also offered various other tools such as blur, sharpen,
colour resolution, add text, etc. On top of this we was able to use
Photoshop to convey synergy throughout are production ad ancillary texts.
