Advert Editing


This is my advert so far, I have changed it a lot of times but I think I have finally decided what looks good and what doesn't. I still need to add the extra's at the bottom like where it is available for example Itunes. 

I chose this picture because it is the picture I used for the front cover of my digi pack. I have put two images of moths on the ad to empathize the name of the band. I also chose to put an orange and black border because these seem to be the colour associated with the band.  

The name of the album will be 'Its an Office Life for me' this is because the video is set in an office, i positioned it on the notice board behind the band members so it looked like a notice.

Me and Elliot have done most of the editing that we can do with the footage we have. But we still have some footage that we need to shot and edit because some of the footage we done on the night we filmed the bulk of the footage didn't fit or we missed.

I have also been working on my digi pack and advert which are coming along well. I used the picture we took when doing the bulk of our filming. All I need to add are finishing touches.

Digi Pack Editing


This an up to date version of my digi pack and how it has come along so far and what I have made from feed back from teachers and friends.

The back is meant to look like a notice board with notices on it, which will be the name of other songs on the album. I also need to add the final touches at the bottom such as the DVD icon, the record label logo. I also wanted to change the interior flap as I don't like the picture very much but I have struggled to find a picture that would fit there instead. 

I have also used more moths on different covers so idea of moths is nearly always present and the band name is recognizable by just moths.

Digi Pack Editing


This is a print screen of my digi pack and how it is coming along. I have used the pictures that we took when we did the filming and the logo that we made. I still need to fill in the other sides but I have rough ideas what I want to put there and how I am going to portray the band and the video.

Me and Elliot have done a lot of filming and a lot of editing and now we have some stuff that doesn't work and stuff that work's really well and after getting some feedback from our teacher about our rough cut we are pleased with what we have and know what we have to do to improve it for the final finished.

I have also been working on my digi-pack and poster with the photos we took while we was filming, as we have to use our own pictures. But I'm a struggling to find a picture that will fit the back of the digi-pack.

Rece Shots


I took this picture while we were filming of what our office looked like. We managed to transform a classroom into an office and did the bulk of our shooting when we took these pictures.

This is a wider shot of what the office looked like but there was one more board between the other two tables. We made sure there wasn't anything that looked too much like a classroom. 


This is a close up of once of the desks that we set up when we did our filming and how we used folders, computers and the filing cabinet to make it look more like an office than a classroom.


Because we used a school, our teacher thought it may have been hard to make it look like an office but with the resources we had and a little imagination, this is what we achieved

Yesterday evening me and Elliot finally done our filming, we were starting to fall behind because we hadn't done any filming. But now we have pretty much done all our filming, unless we have to film extra stuff because they don't work. 


We filmed after school as we needed empty corridors and classrooms that we wouldn't get disturbed. After waiting for people to turn up and setting up our office scene. We then worked through our story board and a few looks at our animatic and we got all the shots that we needed done.


We only had a few problems like one of our actors didn't turn up and we had turn our band from 4 people to 3 because we were running out of time and we didn't have any other time to film. We had to cut some shots out because of this but we have made sure we filmed other stuff so we can fill in the parts we had to cut. 


The people that we used went well and we were able to film good footage that once edited will give us the edge we were trying to achieve.
