New DVD Cover Design

This is a new cover I put together today just to see what I could achieve. This is the result which I think is better and much more similar to a typical DVD cover than the original design.

DVD Cover Design

We get 10% of the assignment mark for creating a DVD Menu that links to each of our videos and an extra link to credits/acknowledgements. This also includes (to some extent) a DVD cover. This is my design for the cover, which is made up of screen shots from the videos and behind the scenes photographs taken on set. I decided to do it this way as the videos do not have specific titles and therefore, cannot concentrate on that element. This way, the potential audience gets to see the videos as well as some photos documenting how the films were created. (The production logo is included on the spine of the cover)

Filming

The filming for the performance aspect of the music video was completed on 22nd February 2011. I'm happy with the footage that I obtained despite the fact that I can be seen in the reflection on the guitar. However, I think that there is plenty of footage that I can use for the video.

Filming for the narrative element of the video took place on 5th March 2011. This worked out quite well despite the dull weather, which at first I thought would help illustrate the tone of the song. However, the rain that came towards the end of the shoot meant that a few of the shots need to be re-shot which will hopefully happen in the next few weeks, so I can edit the video together before the deadline on 4th April.

After viewing other examples of work from students on my course it has been quite tempting to change the song and start almost from scratch in an attempt to produce perhaps a better video. However, given all the preparation and effort that has gone into this video, I'm going to see it through. Perhaps I can do more music videos in my spare time, to see if I can better myself and gain more experience.
