Evaluation Question 2

To answer evaluation question 2, I have created a Prezi.

Don't forget to click the images and text to zoom in where necessary, and I hope you enjoy my Prezi (also please ignore the fact the Prezi says it's by James Doom, as this is the name I gave to my Prezi account due to the fact the word Doom is in the email address attached to the account, but to make sure you, the examiner, knows its is definitely my Prezi and not stolen, I included my real name at the top left when the Prezi begins).

Production - Magazine Advert Second Draft Progress 2

Below is the second stage of my magazine advert second draft, followed by an explanation of the changes made and how I made them:

The changes made are that I have now drawn the two characters from my music video/digipak onto the advert.

I did this by using my graphics tablet and the Brush tool on the sidebar. Once this was selected I first drew my characters much bigger than they currently are, and then used the Cursor tool to scale and place the characters appropriately.

I like the change as it adds more synergy to my products and the characters are a cute space-filler without cluttering the space. So my verdict is that I am definitely keeping the characters where they are as I really like the addition.

That raps it up for this post everyone but be sure to follow my blog for more updates coming soon.

Until next time :)

Production - Magazine Advert Draft Progress 2

Below is the second stage of my magazine advert along with how I created it:

As you can see, this clearly works much better than my previous background, and it also uses colours from the inside of my digipak, so it retains synergy.

To create this background I used the Rectangular Marquee tool to select a section of the background I thought would work well from the Inner Right Pane. I then used the Edit menu to copy it and past it onto this magazine advert. Finally I scaled and positioned it on the dimension through the use of the Cursor tool.

That raps it up for now guys and girls, but be sure to pay attention for more posts coming soon :)

Until next time.

Production - Digipak Right Inner Pane Draft 2

Below you will see a significantly updated version of my Right Inner Pane Draft. I will also explain how I made these changes:

1. I added the character to the actress' shoulder by using the Brush tool and my graphics tablet. I simply drew the character straight onto the shoulder of my actress, just like I did with the other character and my artist.

2. The filter I used under the Filter menu was the same as the one i used for my artist; "Film Grain", so that there would be synergy across the inner panes of my digipak, making it look more professional.

That raps it up for this post everyone.

Please be sure to follow my blog as usual for all my posts and production progress :)

Until next time everyone!

Production - Digipak Left Inner Pane Draft 2

I have now made significant changes to the left inner pane of my digipak as you can see below. I will also explain how I went about these changes:

1. To input my character onto the photo I simply selected the Brush Tool and used my graphics tablet to draw him straight onto the artist's shoulder.

2. To change the entire image I used the Filter menu. Under the filter menu, the filter I used was "Film Grain". I experimented with other filters but none of them produced the image I was looking for. Because of the white background, under certain filters the background seemed to blend with the artist, thus obscuring the image, or darkening it such that I could not actually see the artist. This filter however created a nice effect, so nice in fact that it actually made me reconsider my initial plan to have the background of the inside of my digipak white, and instead have it this mix of cream/dirt colour.

Anyway guys and girls that covers everything in this post :)

More updates coming soon so be sure to watch out for those :)

Until next time :D

Production - Music Video Rough Cut 2

This post is to show the second version of my music video rough cut. The changes since the last rough cut can be seen in my post about experimentation with effects, seen here: http://truegingera2.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/production-experimenting-with-effects.html , where I made shots that were dark and grainy, and therefore hard to see, lighter whilst still retaining the colour in the shots.

My second version of my rough cut can be seen below:



I hope you all enjoy it :)

Be sure to tell me what you think of the changes to colour in the comments section below, as well as anything that you think still need improvement :)

Until next time everyone :)
