Cropping

I have been doing the stop motion part of my film and now i have been cropping the pictures, so you cannot see the tape I used to stick the picture to the table, so it would not move. As at the time I did not realise that this would effect the images and that the framing was wrong, something I will defiantly be checking the next time I do stop motion.

Starting to edit.

Over the weekend I filmed most of my film, and now I am in the process of editing, I also will be re-filming bit's due unfocused camera and also some of the actors did not wear the costumes I had asked them to wear, and therefore they would not go with the genre of my video.

This is a picture of me filming on of the shots for my film.

This is some of the actors and also friends that decided to help by holding props

and the such when I was filming.

2.Font tests.

I will be running a font test seeing what the audience think about different fonts, weather they believe different font have different effects, weather they help the buyer choose wether he wants to buy the album or not. I also plan to use a font that will go with the signs I have made, so it may have to look kile hand writing but also could look very conventional the opposite to the hand writing so as to attract more of an audience.

Cast Shots.

Here is some of my cast the rest will be posted up at a later point.

Those who have their information on a sign, will be used more in the moving parts of the film, while those without information are extras that will be used in the pictures that will be used in things as the stop motion and such. These are only a few as many will be volunteers that will just smile for the camera as i take the picture.

1.Investigating musicians promotoin on themselves. (coursework ancillary)

For investigating  musicians how musicians promote themselves I have decided to investigate Sir Elton John, as he came out as a singer/songwriter around the same time as the beatles they came together in 1960 and started in 1964. He has released around 30 studio albums, has apeard in films and, created music for sountracks such as The Lion King, Friends and so on.
The last album he released was The Union on 19th of October 2010, before this he wasnt seen in the healines alot but on a more recent basis he has been appearing on shows and in newspapers and magasines.
He appeared on The One Show on the 29th, He was seen sayin that modern songwriters are "pretty awful2 on the 19th. He appeared on the Electric Proms on the 30th of Oct and there was also a documentary on his life on the 30th on the BBC.
All these appearences and quotes are reminder and selling him to the public, even the negative would play in a positive to all his older fans who is probably the basis of the people who buy he records.

My Anamatic.

This is my anamatic. I am going to have to change things between the anamatic as there is many spaces where it could be filled with shots of everyday things and people going about there business. I plan to fill theses gaps where the shot from before is just carried on and also where I have put a shot of the sun rising I will fill them with different shots of wildlife, people and inanimate objects.

My props, My Cast, My Location

Over the holidays I have managed to creat the props I need, by painting and cutting out cardboard, I will at a later point add on. Also I am going to be collecting my cast within the next few days. I have also decided to possibally add the location of the beach as I think it will help portray what is bein said within my video that everything is going to be alright.
