Album cover design
Album cover design
For our band we had to create drafts of album covers, with each draft the overall piece will improve. The album will be called 'Sad, sex and the Cat' - the album will be related to the band, band members and the band name. In my opinion I think that this album cover was not challenging to create and produce. Other member in the group called Scott is also producing a album cover, both covers will be posted onto the group blog for people to vote and decide which one is the best.

Personality
In todays lesson I had to decide which personality that I aimed at when working within the media group, I have chosen the colour Green. I have chosen this because I personally think that I have the qualities and knowledge to decide which one I am. Green is mainly focused around group work and working around the others in the group to help them within their work. The other partners in the group have chosen other colours, this is due to their personal choice and opinions.
Myself - Green
Scott - Red
Joel - Blue

Summer work choice
After looking back at the videos that I had done over the summer holidays I have chosen to relate my song choice to Guns and Roses, November Rain. I have chosen this song because it symbols love and mixed emotions, this is perfect for my group blog because we have also chosen a song that is related to emotions and love.
When looking at November rain I can use similar conecepts and ideas to create my video, the reason why I will do this is because it has a similar style with the lyrics, video and the overall song. The song that I am doing within my group is The Fray, How to save a life. Overall I think that when looking back at November Rain I can relate to the group choice to get thoughts and ideas, this is good because if the group needs any ideas we can look at either this song or other songs related.

Carol Vernallis work
Carol Vernallis theory
Carol Vernallis theory explains that editing and camerawork is more frequent in music videos in film. She also said that it is often fitted with the rhythm/beat of the song.
.Editing in traditional fiction on TV follow the rules of continuity which music videos break in order to draw the viewers attention.
.Special effects such as wipes/movement and transitions are common in music videos and can be really obvious to observer when used.
.The short time limit of the music videos mean that the jump cuts the keeps the narrative of the video quick and short, but still interesting. For this reason jump cuts/editing and transitions are very popular within music videos.
.The camera can also move with the music so it fits in with the lyrics and video.
In the video below it is an example of music using various editing, the song also fits in with the edits and the song. In the song there is a beat the is in a rhythm with the edits/transitions, this is good because it keeps the music flowing and looks good when looking at the video.
When designing my own video I will many different edits to make the video flow, I will look at many videos to get ideas and knowledge. I will take screenshots and images to keep them as evidence to look at when editing. I will look back on the videos and post work to get help when creating the final piece, it will give me the knowledge to also create future work.

Lip syncing reflection
Lip sync
Reflection, the lip syncing task in my opinion at first was difficult but near the end of the task it was easy. When recording the video to lip sync I had found it difficult, the reason why is because I had to sync in with the music so that if fits and looks normal to the sound of the music. After finishing the the lip sync I then had to edit the video within iMovie, in iMovie I had to include the original song and sync it in time with our voices in the video.
Editing used
.iMovie intro
.Cut/Paste section
.Edit duration
In the screenshot below are examples of video clips, these clips at this time would of been put through a series of editing so that it would connect to the other pieces - one main piece of editing that was used was the syncing up of the lips to the voices each piece of editing above was used to create the final piece.
