Magazine Advert- First Draft

Here's a really rough first draft of our magazine advert. Like our digipak we've used the yellow that features throughout the music video and the same font for the band name. The central image is apicture of the front cover of the digipak as this is a simple way of linking our products together. Underneath we also have "Out Now", advertising the release of the new album, a trait common to magazine adverts.

Digipak- First Draft

This is the first draft of our digipak. We've decided to do a 4 sided version, similar to a CD case.

The main colour is yellow, this matches a lot of the animations in our music video, particularly the stars that appear in many of the shots.

The front cover has a photo of the ending shot of our music video, showing the characters who are in place of the original artist. It also features the name of the band, and we have matched this to the font used on the video.

The back page so far has a space for a list of songs, and also features aspects of a CD cover such a the 'compact disk' logo and the logo of a record label.

The inside left hand page simply has a silhouette of a porcupine, on a yellow background, and we took inspiration from a digipak from Birds of Chicago. I think it's an interesting use of the bands logo and name.

'Birds Of Chicago' digipak

This article I found on digipaks features one from folk band Birds of Chicago. I really like the use of the black silhouette of the bird against the bright coloured background, and is something I would be interested in incorporating into our digipak. I think it's a really good way of adding either a logo or icon releated to the band, and since our band is called The Porcupines I think this could really work for us.

Significant Filming Locations

For our music video, we wanted to create an obvious feel of being in London, which we have done through the locatrions used throughout. As it is a narrative, it made sense for all of our main locations to be in Central London as it allows the character to move about within the time frame it is taking place, without the need for a lot of transport.

Our main filming locations are very 'London' and include a lot of the recognisable attractions and tourist spots. They include:

• Trains/ tubes
• Station fronts eg Picadilly, Oxford Circus
• Oxford Street souvenier shop
• Horse Guard Parade
• Millenium Bridge and St. Paul's Cathedral
• St. James' park
• Trafalgar Square and The National Gallery
• Covent Garden Market

Filming Day Six

Today was our last day of filming! It was quite a a short day of filming today as we just needed a couple of filler shots and montage scenes! We're really happy we've managed to complete filming whilst still in half term as now we have all our time left to edit.

Filming Day Five

We had another filming day today, and we managed to get LOADS done. We filmed in various parts of London, from Oxford Street to Piccadilly, Horse Guard Parade to Hyde Park. It was quite a long day but hopefully this means we only need to film for one more day. We're going to go into school tomorrow to edit this footage and then hopefully film for just one more day, probably Thursday as the weather's nice.

Filming Day Four

Tonight we headed up to London to get a few shots at night to link in the night train shots we got the other day. We wanted some shots at night as it shows the progression throughout the day and that the character has spent the entire day looking for the girl. Next week in half term we're going to have a couple more days of filming and then hopefully we'll be done before school starts.

Filming Day Three

Yesterday was our third day of filming and we got some shots to make the night train scenes. We had a little blip at the start because Ted didn't have the right top on, but we've managed to overcome that by making sure he kept his hoodie zipped up. As the narrative doesn't follow his entire day minute by minute, it doesn't conflict with our continuity.
