Update!

We're almost finished! Music video, webpage and album package are all completed, we have filmed our final audience feedbacks on the completed video and website and our evaluation. The only thing we have left to do is edit the evaluation using Final Cut and Screenium, which Dean is currently doing. Gerdy created a title menu for our DVD, however, we are currently having problems putting the music video onto our DVD, but Gerdy is currently working on it, so by the end of today we should have everything complete!!

Audience Feedback - Album Covers

Here's our audience feedback! Everyone pretty much agreed on the cover we intended on using and gave some constructive criticism, which we have taken on board.

Update!

Coursework is to be handed up for this Friday, so only three more days to complete everything! Almost finished everything, Gerdy is currently finishing off the inside covers for the album and has got the front and back covers done, which look really well! 
Dean is doing a few final touches to the video, we still have to refilm some footage of Deborah singing along to the song, as the filming we had for this felt a bit plain and we felt we could do it better. We plan to film this on Wednesday night at my house, which means on Thursday Dean can edit this footage into our music video and hopefully it'll be complete! 
Deborah is working on the website, which ties in with the colour scheme on the album cover, she's added loads of widgets and links on the site and it's looking pretty professional. 
I'm just uploading our audience feedback for our album covers, after that we just need an audience feedback for our completed music video and an evaluation from ourselves. Still a wee bit to do but we should be able to get it all done on time!

More Album Covers Ideas

Here are three more previous cover the group had made:

Album Cover idea

This is our initial album cover idea, however Mr Tierney feels we should first try a few other sample covers so we shall start on that.

new ideas!!!!

Dean and I are sitting in class now, Dean is working on the cover of the album and i am working on some new ideas for added shots and scenes for our video. We will continue brainstorming ideas for the duration of the class because we have around a minute to fill in our song still. We are also working on ideas for a photo for the website..Deb playing guitar seems to be the basis of the idea.

Audience Feedback

This is the feedback in which the group got back from our video idea.

Feb 25th Update

Hopefully we have finally finished the filming of our stop motion part of the video. All that is left is to add in some sound effects and add it to our footage. It is looking really good in my opinion.

-Gerard

feb 24th Update!!

Deborah And Clare are both at an open day today, therefore Dean and I will try to get the work up to date as best as we can. We are looking at photos of yesterdays stop motion and as we did not get it fully finished we have decided to shoot it all over again today or tomorrow as the lighting as fully changed as today is cloudier. We will hopefully have all the stop motion completed by tomorrow.

- Gerard

Stop Motion!!

We have decided to redo our stop motion part of the video because our background wall ruins the video. I am going to take a camera and the city to my house tonight and finish it of, hopefully. Mr Tierney has recommended playing round with several angles so i am also going to try and mess around with a few ideas later on. We have also decided to add in a moon effect which clare is drawing now. Dean is still editing our footage and Deborah is working on the website.

- Gerard

update!

ok... maybe we aren't finished shooting just yet. We have decided to add some shots of Deborah miming and playing a guitar. After that all should be good and we will just have to edit the footage, create a dvd, finish the website etc.

- Gerard

Update!

We have finally finished filming! Last Thursday, the stop-motion animation filming was completed at Gerdy's house and we got the footage at the Waterfront filmed on Saturday, as well as doing the photo shoot for the website. The shots have turned out well so far; we have finished editing the stop-motion clip, at the minute Dean is editing the Waterfront footage on Final Cut Pro and is going to bring it all together. Deborah has uploaded the photos onto our webpage on iWeb and the website is almost finished, we're just hoping to add a few Flash applications to complete it. Hopefully we shall have the coursework finished in the next few weeks!

Stop Motion With Candles

Good idea!!



-Gerard

Dean is off!!!!!

Our faithful leader Dean McAlea is off today. . . again. We are very disappointed in him as the night before he was off we filmed and I quote Dean on this, "you want me to take the camera because i am more reliable than Gerard hahaha". Not so funny now ey Dean . . . get back so we can edit that highest of quality footage on our camera.

- Gerard

This would be a good idea in my opinion for the back or inside of our cover. for example, the spiralling effect,  changing the words to the opening or main line of the song. or possibly the name of the song or album and the artist Lights haha.

- Gerdy

Update!

We're going to do the stop-motion filming today at Gerdy's house, unfortunately I can't go but the rest of the group are going to go ahead anyway. We should be hopefully finishing filming on Saturday in Belfast, leaving us just to edit next week.
At the minute, Gerdy, Dean and I are researching album cover influences while Deborah is finishing off the webpage. We just need to do a photoshoot to get some pictures for our website and try get a audience feedback video for our CD layout!
