Micky opened up final cut pro and showed us a template music video he then showed us how to mark the soundtrack at a certain point and then bring the clip over. He then marked the video clip at the same point as the marked video clip. He did this so that the video and the soundtrack would be in sync. Then he taught us how to go from one clip to another without making the video move out of sync with the soundtrack.

It took a while to actually do the task but eventually I got there and it was pretty easy.

Well we were asked to film a music video but we had to do it over and over again so that we were able to cut in and out of clips. There were some difficulties while filming because we needed to see the actors lips moving with the song so that when we were editing we could see where we had to cut it to make it in sync but sometimes the actors lips would turn away from the camera so we had to redo the filming again.

In the end the film turned out great and me and group were really pleased with it.

Marisa gave us a Photoshop tutorial. She taught us how to import images and crop them using the magic wand. She taught us how to add colour to the background. She also taught us how to add templates and effects already uploaded onto Photoshop for us to use. 

It was not easy using Photoshop it is so confusing there are so many things that need to be clicked before you get to a certain thing.

I chose an image of a stick figure drawn on a window in the rain. I chose this for my digipak because it reflected loneliness and the song that my group was given matched the theme of my digipak. We were given the song, Stand By Me by Ben E King.

For the back panel of my digipak I chose a simple image of rain on a window. I wanted to keep it simple yet still connect with the front panel.

I got my images from Google so it was even harder to do but I got the image and put it on my desktop then I went to open on Photoshop then desktop then I clicked on my image and that’s how I got it.

I’m not that happy with my digipak but I wasn’t expecting it to look like what the professionals can do.

What i would do differently is the filming of the music video because we had a few sloppy scenes. Like a reflection of someone dancing in the background and the camera slightly tilted. I think because we ran out of time we tried to rush it so it didn’t look as great as we had wanted it to look.
