29th October 2012

Today we returned to my sisters house to film as there were some scenes that, when looking back at our footage, could be improved and included other shots. Due to us forgetting the tripod we had to make sure the person recording and handling the camera had a steady hand or placed it on a steady surface to prevent the footage being jerky and unprofessional

Today we filmed the girls scenes at her house. Throughout the filming we had no problems or concerns and collected plenty of footage which we can choose from when editing our piece together.

 So far our storyboard consists of 52 shots, however this may rise as we do our filming if we come up with any new ideas on shots that will work well.

Digipak Experimentation

The image above shows my Digipak front cover before experimenting with Photoshop and adding my own touches.

After editing this was my final result.

1. How successful have you been in applying the tutorial?

I thought I was fairly successful during my tutorial as I got to experiment with different tools and also managed to use other photo editing software to further my digipak experimentation further

2 Identify 2 techniques what I have used? How can I use them in my final construction.

1.Layers

2. Text

Both these techniques are very important when creating our official digipak. Being able to create new layers means when editing our final piece we can slowly edit pieces together into one photo carefully and easily and we can make adjustments before merging the layers together at the end if we see something that may need altering. The use of text is extremely important when making our digipak as it will be needed a lot throughout for naming the song titles on the back and also for the band name on the front. Experimenting with different font types means we will be able to find a design based around the genre of our music which will fit in nicely appearance-wise with the design of our album.

Photoshop Experimentation 2

Photoshop Experimentation

This is just a little experiment to see what results i can get from different techniques in photoshop.

The picture above started out as a simple line:

The technique i used to create the line was with the "Ellipse tool"set on the "Paths" option at the top right with the Ellipse tool selected.

These are the two tool used to create and move/manipulate the double circle once it has been drawn, the black arrow aka "Path Selection Tool" is what is used to edit the shape of the circles and to be allow to move them around and duplicate the first circle so that the gap between the circles is not constantly the same. (if drawing more than one line)

The boxes at the right of the above picture show which path that the image will fill, the one currently selected is the one which allows you to fill the space in-between the circles.

After the line is drawn, i used the ripple tool to get the above effect.

The ripple tool is in Filter>Distort>Ripple.

Also set at Size: Small, Amount: 622%

After which i used these Blending options.
