Actual Advert

Ignore the other one previously posted, this is the official advert!

Evaluation!

I decided to do my evaluation on Prezi.com, my favourite presenation tool. This has made the evaluation more interactive and engaging.

Risk Assessment

Above is the risk assessment I did to make sure that when I produced my music video it wouldn't breach health and safety rules too much.  The assessment has been adapted from Riverside Studios, as they have this copy on their website.

Costume Design and Props

I found a really good website to do costume designs on....Polyvore!
This site allows you to design and create moodboards for fashion or art purposes - people tend to create magazine-like pages that contain text, images of clothes shoes and other pictures. You can get backgrounds and all different pictures which can be saved on the website and can be shared with everyone else.
I used it to design my main characters costumes for before the "transformation" and after. This gives a feel of what I want Lucy to look like.

I also did a very quick mood board for the general feel and themes of my music video...The top left side begins with the religious and trapped theme, and the other side represents the life Lucy would like to live - a fun-filled and care-free party lifestyle.

Copyright Permission

Before composing an email to attempt to gain copyright permission from Sony Music UK, I decided to have a look on the internet for inspiration for what exactly to write, and how to word it.
This is what I sent to the company:

I haven't had a reply back from them, which means that I am allowed to use the track, because they have not denied me permission.

Potential Images for Digipak

Before starting on editing for the final digipak, I decided to play around with some images to see what they would look like. When getting feedback on my rough cut somebody mentioned that the collage image needed more colour because it looked boring compared to the other sides. After altering the image to see what it would look like, I decided not to go through with adding colour because it was too much.

Somebody also said that the front cover of my digipak needed to be lighter, in terms of the black background. There was too much contrast between the colours, Lucy and the black surrounding colour. I played around with lighting effects and the above images is what is looks like.

Directors Commentary

Here's the YouTube link to my director's commentary I decided to do to accompany my evaluation. I recorded my voice on Audacity, then applied the audio to a duplicate of my music video. 
Once again, Blogger hasn't let me upload to this page directly.
