ANIMATIC AND FEEDBACK

After screening our animatic, we were given feedback, which was overall positive. We we're however asked to have more of the narrative point of view, from the guy on the computer and the main 'mysterious girl'.

All our settings and location were fine, we did however realise that we wouldnt be able to shoot the location Cornhill shots on the main shoot day (9th November), therefroe we will have to do this after.
When focusing on the main girl, we are using lots of picture stills focusing on one point of her (eyes), and then compliling them together at the same point, so her eyes will stay in the same place, but teh rest of her body will be moving. We feel that this will create a unique shot, in comparison to the rest of our video.

DIGIPAK IDEAS

This is the digipak idea created by the group. As this is used not only as the cd cover but also as advertising and so it had to relate our band and the themes of our video.

























This first idea was based around the idea of legs. As we see the stages of legs, with tights on going to the bones. Basically giving the 'x-ray' effect.


























This second digipak cover idea was more focusing on the technology based idea that runs through the song, the lyrics and the video - this includes having the pulse rate pattern.

UV BODY PAINT

After some research we have found a few compnaies that we will possibly order the UV paint from.

http://www.uvgear.co.uk/product/uvbodypaint.htm

This is the effect that we are going to be going for....

In terms of the body paint design, we want to create patterns, rather than block colours (handprints, stripes, dots and more complex patterns)

We have researched that on average, the paint will cost around £2 per tube. But do to the effect that we want we will probably need double the amount per person. The colours we would like to use are orange, pink, yellow, green and white. Therefore the paint will cost around £60.

THE BAND

THE ALBUM :- This is the bands actual album cover. In comparison to the other similar artists album covers - its not dissimilar in terms of having a futuristic and colourful cover. Clearly its not your conventional cover as they have used different style of texts for each word - I think that this works well, and makes the album stand out.

STORYBOARD

This is our storyboard so far for out video. We begin with the main narrative of the boy searching and extracting memories... and then after we begin with the performance element of the video, changing between the band performing, dancers and overall narrative of the party.

We had to edit and cut the track, therefore its not the original track length.

Feedback

Megan

There is plenty of good material here - well done. You also need to add some feedback to your timeline section detailing the changes that were suggested before you began your storyboarding.
