Website Designs




At this stage of the web design we had completed he design of the gig listings and the advertisement banner and we had now moved onto poducing some merchandise for the band. We decided to sell t-shirts on the website due to the popularity of band t-shirts for teens, which this music is aimed at. We made two t-shirts, one of grey and one of white. This gave us variety with our merchandise. We will also later on add the CD single. 

Final Album Digipack Design





Above is the final digipack design for our Birds&Planes single from Dinosaur Pile-Up. The covers took only a few hours to make and were assembled using images and photos we have either edited in photoshop or took when filming the video.
The front cover displays the band shot also used as the banner on the website so buyers can associate a more familiar image with the band. The back cover is just an empty space from the same location that we filmed the video. The inside cover demonstrates a continued theme with a 'making of' shot as the inside cover. This makes the whole design of the digipack link to the video and the web-page creating one overall band image.

FX editing


Today we added more shots to the video but also started to darken the narrative images so they fit with the performance shots better. We did this by using the brightness and contrast tool in the editing menu.

MORE EDITING!!!!



In this editing session the core of the music video was nearly finished. After this we plan to go through and possibly split up longer shots by pasting shorter shots in the middle of them to keep the video moving.

Editing band shots


In this session we edited some of the performance shots along with the narrative. At first we had large chunks of just narrative and then just performance so we have decided to start and interweave the shots with the paste-over at playhead function.
