My Face by James Couleur

This is the final draft for My Face by James Couleur. Enjoy!

My Face Third Draft

After our second draft we then showed it off to classmates and other people around the school and collected research about our second draft. Our research allowed us to improve our video further and please more people by taking out anything that they thought did not work or they did not like.

My Face Second Draft

Here is the second draft for My Face. We listened to some of the feedback we got from our classmates and made some changes to hopefully make our video better. The main improvement points was to improve the time lapse and some of our shots were too long. Also some people did not like how we had repeated some shots.

Filming Day 7 - Time Lapse

Day 7 of filming. James Clifford went out to record our own time lapse. You can see our time lapse in our finished video. He recorded himself in a field with the sun going down behind him to give the impression of time passing.

Digipak Progression

Here is a photo bucket of all our drafts of the digipak. As the digipak has progressed so did my skills using Adobe Photoshop. Below is the CD progression. Our first draft we received feedback which said that that it looked childish. So we changed it to the middle picture. We then showed this new design to the class and it got a lot of positive feedback. People really liked the design but they thought it was a bit plain and did not match James Couleur's theme. 

This is the progression from our first draft to our final draft for our digipak front cover. I think this is a vast improvement from our original design. Our feedback for the first front cover was not as good as we hoped. People really didn't like it and again said it looked childish. The second design was liked a lot more and people thought it represented James Couleur better.

This is the inside cover for our digipak. This slide was generally liked across our research but people did think that it was a bit plain. We decided to change the colours of the guitars to make the cover match to James Couleur's theme.

This was the only slide from our digipak that we have kept the same from the first draft. The only change that was made was its location, this is now the under the disc.

Time Lapse Research

Equipment that we will need:
Camera
Tripod
Aesthetically pleasing background

When we film a time lapse we found out that it is really important to overshoot as much as possible. This is because when the footage is sped up a long period time of film could be shown in seconds. In our music video we wanted to show a time lapse as it would give the impression on time passing. We wanted to put it in the chorus. We worked out to get the correct speed that we wanted for our time lapse that we would have to film for around an hour. Below is a video of some time lapses that inspired us to put one in our video.

My Face First Draft

This is the finished first draft for James Couleur's debut single My Face.

Day 6 of Filming - Paint Wall

Day 6 of filming. We chose an area of the wall which we could paint over and we covered it in white paint to create a blank canvas.

My Face Teaser Trailer

We decided to make a teaser trailer for the single My Face. We did this to create a 'buzz' for our audience for them to get excited for the new single. We also shared the video around to promote James Couleur and his debut album.

Website Stage 4 - Complete and Live!

Below are the final screenshots of the finished website. We have listened to our feedback given from previous drafts and made changes accordingly. Below is the finished website.

James Couleur's Mistaken Characters Digipak

Here is the final version of James Couleur's digipak. We have made some changes from our first draft and now we have listened to feedback and believe that it is a lot better from what we started with.

Digi Pack Third Draft

My Face First Draft Feedback

Above is a scanning of the number of results we received in each category. We then worked out the average of our feedback results which worked out at 31 out of 40.

Planning for our Teaser Trailer

Food Colouring and Milk Experiment 

For a teaser trailer James Braddy came up with the idea of dropping food colouring into milk and then adding washing up liquid made the colours mix together and then form a colour swirl. Below is an inspiration video of the idea.

Editing the First Draft for My Face

Here you can see me working on editing the first draft for My Face. You can also see a shot of Adobe Premiere with some shots in there.

Day 5 of Filming - Graffiti Wall Lip Sync

Day 5 we went into Chelmsford and we knew of a run down area used for graffiti. We decided to shoot here as the walls were bright and colorful and matched the rest of our video.
