Introducing Digipak

For my digipak, I firstly have to decide on what template I want to work from. Weather I want a 4 panel or a Maltese cross digipak.

 

I like the look of 4 panels as it is simple but it might not show the theme and genre of my music video as it is too plain. The Maltese is unique so it would fit my theme but I'd then have more pages to fill.

Audience Feedback on Final Product

Below is a video of some audience feedback, the audience has never seen the product before nor the stages of when it was being planned, filmed and edited.

Final Editing

After watching my product over and over to see if anything needed touching up I realized that some shots went on for a while and I thought that the viewer would get bored after a while of looking at the same shot. (This is one of the reasons why none of my shots are repeated throughout the music video- no two are the same!)

I changed the extreme close up of Holly's lips slightly just so that there was more going on in the shot. I think it flows well and was told by my peers that it finished my music video of nicely.

More editing

I now have all my footage and lip-syncing in time with the music and lyrics, it feels as if its all coming together now and starting look like something from Florence and the Machine's music videos. For the effects and transitions I have decided to have bright lights changing one shot to another, fade in and fade out's. These transitions take the viewer in and out of the dream world Alice is experiencing.


My favorite effect so far would be near the beginning where Alice fades into the shot while the other characters around her are frozen. This represents Alice entering Wonderland and as you can see the video below she has her head down to show her being sleep (dreaming).
