Final video

Links between ouija board

Ouija board = summoning Nick Cage
Carousel = time split
silhouettes

The ouija board is a typical object in ghost stories and shows as it is a common and typical way to contact spirits, so, i used it to my advantage and spelt out "NICK", to show the link between them and Nicholas Cage.

As previously explained, the carousel represents the time split and shows the time just between her summoning the spirit and her getting chased.

The silhouettes are the shadows of the ghosts chasing her. This is shown by the silhouettes, and later on by the people with the Cage masks on

cropping the video

This is a still from my video, where I have used the cropping tool on my whole video to able it to look neater, cleaner and more professional.



To make this crop, i used the mask tool to make the black out line on the top and bottom of the video thicker and thiner.

it was kinda hard make it straight though.

Carousel

This carousel footage represents many things for the video, such asa travel in time, however the most appropirate representation for the video is that she is being chased in circles as she can't actually go anywhere. The bright colours represent the highlights in her life on the journey, but are blurred out, as shown by the prism effect.

intro

For my introduction to my music video, to have decided to use an obvious and non ambiguous introduction to the narrative of my video. This is because the rest of the narrative is ambiguous as I wanted it to be left open to interpretation.

I used the back drop of a fire to set the cult like feel for the rest of the video. the black and white filter on the fire allows for it to seem more gothic and establish an evil atmosphere. 

Flashing sections

These images are screenshots from my video, from a second. The changes between narrative and performance should show a link between the two. The link that is meant to be made is between the lyrics which is dictating and narrating the horrors the woman's going through. The three clips of her cloak represent the three stages of emotion and the three parts of equilibrium she will experience till the end of the song. This is a technique that is used in Metallica's Sandman.

Quick Cuts

These extremely quick cuts should show the speed of the story and how quickly everything can change. I added filters and edited the colours to be able to distort the view and show how the story will distort and change. I used quick cuts on this part of her cloak to show the fast progression of the song and story, this also shows her quick footsteps to indicate she is sprinting from the evil sprit.

Poster 3

Here I have used the opacity adjuster to make the body blend in with the background to not make it too bright and obnoxious.

Here I have used the 'Shadow/Highlight' editing tool and the 'brightness/contrast' tool to help further the blending but also make certain sections brighter, to draw subtly more attention to it

Here on the hands and the face i have used the paint tool to lighten and create highlights to make it look slightly more cartoon like and more appealing. I have also done the same thing on the lettering to allow for the words to look more 3D and attractive.

Fonts

These three  fonts are the fonts i have decided to use for my poster. I asked my target audience about them and wrote down what they though of them. The 'Alice in wonderland'  font was described as too childish and not cult enough. The 'Nosferatu' was favored as it looks Gothic and sleek - how ever the Dark Skyrim was the favorite as it looks the most Gothic, metal and edgy.

Photoshoot with Jack

I'm planning on photo shopping and adapting these images for the front cover and additional side tasks.

These images here will be plastered and layered on top of each other to re create and imitate other album covers.

These photos will be layered on top of each other in an alternate colour scheme with a blurred out background.

These two photos will photoshoped and have a skull over them, which is typical of my genre.

This image was favored most by my target audience as it is the most cult like and Gothic and when photoshoped with a dark background will look very effective.

poster

original photo of a doe skull with a black backdrop

 detail of the editing of the sharpness of the skull to make editing easier.

 i used the eraser tool on 12% opacity to be able to show a more natural gradient.

I used the edit hue / saturation tool to change the colour of the trees, text and skull. 

first draft of this poster - The skull will need to be shrunk in order to be able to add information.

Poster in the Park

original image of the band on a climbing frame for a staggered and layered composition.

 Image with the logo, before and after i edited it with the hue / saturation tool.

this tool has allowed me to edit images appropriately, fitting the theme of mt genres and the tone of the band.
