A2 Media Draft Video

Due to very unfortunate unforeseen circumstances, we were unable to film the entirety of our video to the best quality achievable. The camera we were planning on using was sent in for repair and various other non academic commitments led to the band members being changed last minute resulting in filming being of worse quality than first expected. The location we were planning on using was otherwise engaged and we had to resort to a friends band practice room in order to produce some footage for the draft. This resulted in the miss en scene not corresponding to our chosen genre and therefore making the video look abysmal. We all now well informed that our location will be available for us to use to film the final edit of our music video along with our original camera and band members. Ultimately, this should lead to the video being of the standard we first expected.

Album Cover First Draft: The EVERYTHING- Holdfast

These covers was constructed using a photograph I took at Leeds Festival 2013 on a disposable camera and then scanned onto my computer. Prior to scanning, the photography looked very blurred and fuzzy with lots of vertical lines running through the picture (bottom photograph) which gave the picture a vintage/retro look that is a feature used in some modern day album covers. I thought this was quite effective and worked well with the text to form a professional album cover. However, I then decided to edit the photo to remove the 'vintage look' and form a more conventional looking photograph. Equally, this cover works just as well but with a different effect.
