Preliminary: Album cover

Our preliminary task was to create a one minute music video, and an album cover to go with. So here we have the album cover, album covers can be used to help promote a specific song, in this case 'Ugly Heart' and the band itself. As we are a girl band we went with the typical look for this category. Whilst researching into album covers many girl bands portray themselves in a similar way on their album cover, as having an image of them all promotes them and denotes to the audience the type of music they are producing within the album, which is an extremely useful promotional technique. 

In terms of the back of the album cover we have made this simplistic yet eye-catching, it denotes the look we definitely wanted to achieve of bright colors representing positive vibes which girl bands create.

Practicing with a green screen

As the a large majority of our music video project is going to be conducted using a green screen effect, we thought it would be best to do a practice piece, this enables us to analyse what went well, what we need to use, and what works well when using and editing with the green screen. A green screen  is an integral part of the special effects process known formally as Chromakey. Chromakeying, sometimes known as color keying, is the process of singling out a particular color in an electronic image/footage and then using computer software to make that color transparent, which then enables us to add a background of our choice. The effect we are going for in the main task is a greyscale, shabby background in order to set the mood of the music video. However as this is our practice we just selected an average background to play with. I learnt how to do this task by watching some simple YouTube clips on green screening with Premier Pro, which is the software which we use to edit...

Working with a Green Screen

For our music video one of the biggest parts of the project is conducted with a green screen effect. I had never tried this before, however a lot of editing techniques are self taught and learnt along the way. Which is why I took it upon myself to use the resources I have with YouTube to conduct my own research prior to our editing of the music video. This means that taking these measures will allow a much smoother editing process as I have already learnt the basics of editing the background with a green screen, and even if need be I know I have a reliable resource which I can always revert back to which will help us along the way if we were to have any queries or issues. The use of the green screen when editing isn't actually as hard as I first suspected, the background can be changed in a few simple steps, and once the first try is out of the way it appears even easier. The more you practice the easier it becomes. I will upload the prac...
