HOW COULD WE MISS THIS!

In todays lesson we researched Jenny and Johnny on youtube and guess what we found.... A MUSIC VIDEO FROM JENNY AND JOHNNY. We have searched for them many time and haven't found a music video from them yet. We were convinced that they didn't have any music video's but as they do we had a look at it and it shows that we are on the right track with our music video with the genre and style of the filming. Here is a link to the mysterious video!

Webpage continued development

Below is the webpage with the Twitter feed as described in the previous post and the images added onto the page. By adding images of the artists it improves the webpage as the Jenny & Johnny fans can keep updated with the bands image and by placing images of them onto the webpage it shows page visitors who the band members are if they are new to the band and are discovering them for the first time.

The webpage is now practically finished it just needs something adding in the middle which is going to be a polaroid image that matches with the CD covers. This shows continuity within the bands image from all media types.

Webpage Development

Today I am finishing off the webpage, in the bottom right corner there is a big space that needs to be filled by something. By looking at other artists webpages, our webpage page is in apparent need for a Twitter feed. It is something that connections the artists with their fans and is something that is needed as currently a artist who didn't have a Twitter account/feed would get stick from their fans.

I added a Twitter feed to the webpage, I think it looks much better and fills up the webpage without putting in random images. However images of Jenny & Johnny are needed. I will add them in and see if they work well on it.

CD Inside Cover - Finished!

Today Bronwyn and Beth completed the inside cover of our digipack. We decided to change the lettering on the Polaroid to "Thank you" from "Jenny & Johnny" because the name of the band will be written on the front cover so it didn't seem right to repeat this. We are really happy with the inside cover and are hoping to complete the front and back covers by the end of the lesson.

CD cover developing

In todays lesson Beth and Bronwyn worked on developing the CD cover on photoshop. We've changed a few things from last time and included the photo's we used on Sunday.  

This is the inside cover for our CD. We have now completed this.

This is the outside and back cover for our CD. We need to add the text to this next lesson then it will be finished. 

Second shoot- This wasn't fair

This was our second filming shoot, which didn't go to plan. Mart was unable to come but he didn't miss out which worked out well for him. Our plan was to get the rest of our filming done and take photo's for our CD. We had a late start which makes it stressful to get in the right mind set as your panicking and rushed, which didn't help when things started to go wrong. I took some pictures of our actors that we're going to use for our CD cover (so we accomplished one task) as I was doing that Beth started to set the camera and tripod up, when she realized that the plate of the top where you put the camera wasn't there. So if we had filmed, the camera work wouldn't of been as good, as all the shoots would be hand held. But we thought we could film some park scenes of them being together. Which was going alright but it started to rain which ment the we couldn't film as the rain would affect our shoots and it wouldn't have given our music video the right affect. We waited to see if the rain would clear up but it got worse which meant if we had to film in the rain the equipment would have got damaged and the guitars too. We called it a day which was annoying seeing as we had made the effort to get up to our location, but at least we've got photo's for our CD which we can finish on tuesday. Hopefully next week will run smoothly and we will get everything done.

Second Shoot - disaster!

So today we met up at Victoria Park for our second filming date. As I have previously said, Mart was unable to make it as he had work commitments. The day got off to a bad start as my alarm didn't go off so I was late, and so were our actors which left poor Bronwyn waiting in the cold - oops! When we were all there Bronwyn started taking photographs of our actors for the CD cover whilst I set up the camera. But when I got the tripod out of the bag I discovered that the plate which you put the camera on was missing and the handle on the tripod was broken therefore we would have had to film handheld which means that our shots would not be as steady as we would have wanted. However, we tried to carry on regardless and got a few shots of actors "park scene". Unfortunately, it began to rain very heavily. We tried to take shelter and wait out but it wasn't stopping and we were worried about the filming equipment and instruments getting damaged therefore we were forced to abandon the shoot. We were really gutted but sadly it was unavoidable. We have now rearranged our shoot for next sunday.
