Audience Feedback 3: Throne Rough Cut 3

This is some other audience feedback that we got from our Y10's in the school. It was of good use for us as well as a good preparation for them starting Year 11 in September.

Some main points that they mentioned include:
  • Too many still tri-pod shots
  • Good choice of actors
  • Mainly they argued that the audience could be between 16-23
  • Bad lip sync
  • Flashback colour effect "Dream" makes it look unreaslistic
  • Good Drumming and Guitar
  • Colour powder was good at the speed it was at
  • Break up and fight was easy to determine but other narrative wasn't
  • Convincing
  • Good shot vareity
  • good locations
  • convincing actors
  • looked real 

Audience Feedback 2: Throne Rough Cut 3

This is the audience feedback that we got after having posted our 3rd rough cut that I edited. Our audience feedback will weekly help us to reflect on what we can do better. Some of the negative points mentioned include: 
  • Less running sequence
  • More pool scenes 
  • Clearer narrative
  • More color powder because the effect looked good 
  • Work with color correction

This is the 3rd rough cut that I edited together. It is a 2 min and 8 second clip.

Script:

Hello everyone and welcome back to our 15th weekly podcast. This week we filmed our full performance part for our music video, which worked really well. We had great lighting and managed to get a lot of good shot variety for our music video. Also, Kristian and I filmed our narrative, which consists of the couple scenes and the running sequence. Another part of the narrative is some underwater footage of our lead singer, which Kristian and I filmed with a waterproof GoPro in a pool. I have edited a sequence of 2min and 8 seconds together this week and have for each 40-50 seconds uploaded the rough cut to YouTube so that I can evidence the journey of our music video. By next week we will also try to get a nearly final rough cut 1 so that we can get some good audience feedback in case we would need to re-shoot something. We will by the end of January also visit a green screen room here in Luxembourg, where we will get some further footage of our lead guitarist, bass guitarist and lead singer. Furthermore, we intend to shoot our female protagonist burning some pictures of her and the male protagonist. 

After having gotten some really useful audience feedback today that I can use when I am editing the rest of rough cut 1, I expect to have a full rough cut by next week Friday after we have visited the green screen room and have the final footage.

SR: Rough Cut 2: Throne

This is my 2nd rough cut, which contains 1 min and 40 seconds worth of footage. I intend to post every rough cut with every detail changed in order to later on in the year do a post on "My Journey", such as last year. The "My Journey" post is supposed to reflect my work over the year and will also be a useful post for evaluation.


SR: UPDATE: Changing Digipack: Throne

After having changed our track and the idea for our performance and narrative, we have new pictures for the digipack. We also had to find two new band members due to one drop-out and timing. Right now we are working on what pictures should be on our digipack but also, which other elements are usually included on a digipack.

For the front cover, we were thinking of having a picture of the entire band rather than just having the leadsinger and including the name of the band. This is not the finalized version of the front cover, since we still want to work with color correction of the picture to make the color's stand out even further. 



Another possibility for the front cover would be to take a picture in the green screen room with just the leadsinger in the shot, with his microphone and then layer on top of it and add the title of the band and/or the album. This would be inspired by BMTH album for Suicide Season

Another important elemt of a digipack is the track listing. BMTH That's the Spirit album has 11 tracks, therefore we thought we would include these on the back cover. 

To achieve verisimilitude on our digipack it is also important to include other features such as the record labelproduced bycopyright detailsbarcode and serial number. On most digipacks, the barcode is on the back cover, hence we have decided to put it down in the corner on the right side. 



Inside the digipack, we wanted to include some more colors such as BMTH did on their That's the Spirit album inside. We thought that we could do it by having colorful ink in water that looks a bit like colorpowder. Since color powder is also a part of our music video, we thought that we would want to include that. 


When doing some research on digipacks, I found a website, where it is possible to create and design your own digipack with fonts, pictures etc. Once we have all of our ideas sorted and photoshopped, I wanted to try and create one with the use of this website. If it turns out really well, I intend to order it.

SR: Rough Cut 1: Throne

This is the first 1 minute rough cut that I created for our music video "Throne". We filmed all of the footage last week, however we will film more when we have a trip to a green screen room here in Luxembourg. With the green screen footage we intend to film leadsinger, lead guitarist and bass guitarist and layer on top of this footage. We will film several sequences such as: a timelapse of clouds passing over the sky, a sunrise (if we can get it), fire, which we will layer on top of the individual band members. 
I will create and upload a full rough cut ASAP and we will get audience feedback on our rough cut's each week if we feel it is necessary and once we have made major changes.
