Video effect test

In our video, for the performance sections we decided we wanted to use the pleasentville effect; an effect which removes the colour from a video apart from a selected colour, for example the effect used in Schindler's list. we done a couple of test shoots to test out the effect before using it on our project. The 1st test is above.

This was the second test we filmed using the pleasentville effect, as you can see in the video the effect didn't go as planned.

Project Brief

For my A2 Media project i was asked to produce a promotional package for a band. this package had to contain a video for a song off the album an two out of three of the following:

-A website for our band
-A cover for the album as part of a digipak
-A magazine advertisement as part of the digipak

My group of three consists of Me, George Duric-Last and Charlotte Clarke. Between us we chose to produce the album cover and the magazine advertisement. We were also asked to consider our intended audience whilst making our promo package.

To coincide with our work we are also making a blog to show our findings and our work etc.

Individual idea for CD cover and poster

For the actual CD cover i thought it would be a good idea to use a simple cover which shows off the band and their image. I think that this would be a good idea due to the fact that the band would be realativly unknown even in the UK, so would be a perfect oppurtunity to show of their faces to the public (basically free advertising). whilst the aformentionted things will be covered, it will also give a very basic and stylistic look to the cover, so to not tie them down to a particular genre or look.
