things that went wrong :(


after spending a day filming we came to upload all our clips and started to edit when we found the clips were heavily pixilated and very dark. This could of effected our grade therefore we decided to do the filming again. Luckily we had start to film early and had more time to re-film although it took a verrryyyyy long time it was worth it in the end. 

inspiration and ideas



after filming the first time we thought it went well however when uploading our work we got the lighting wrong and our footage wasn't as good as we had wanted, therefore we now have to reshoot however this has been an advantage as now we know where we went wrong, what was good whilst we were shooting and what we can do differently now we are doing it again.

now we are doing it again we have now got new inspiration and different ideas to bring in to our video to make it more original and different to our original idea..

we like the video above however we would only use this as a shorter clip maybe for lyric
"so we conducted a plan.. "
on paper then speed it up whilst editing to get tis effect :)

video research :)


kickstart - example 
we got alot of inspiration from this video as we really enjoyed the split screen showed in this video and felt if looked really good and effective therefore we want to use this idea in our own video :)



kate nash - pumkin soup 
we loved this video because of its originality and quirkyness as we felt it reflects kate nash's character very well.
we were influenced this through the use of its bright colours making it interesting also the use of costume and props!


kate nash - mouthwash
we really enjoyed how she started in the mirror looking at herself and starting the song knowing its from her point of view :) we thought this was an effective opening and drew you in straight away to carry on watching, 


kesha - your love is my drug 
although this artist doesnt catorgarise into the indie -pop genre we really liked some techniques she used in her video.
in this image you can see a cartoon heart between the two characters, we really liked this and intent to use cartoon images in our video and it takes away the naturalistic feel and adds to the quirky fun feel we are aiming for. 



ideas board :)



here is a selection of pictures put together which have generated ideas for us :)
things include costume, location, props and patterns :)

pitch powerpoint :)

  


here is our printed out version of our pitch :)
we gave starter lines and initial idea's on each slide then developed them through speech.
this was a really helpful  exercise as we had to know every detail about our video in order to explain it in order that our audience understood our ideas :)
it also helped when we got gave feedback from our audience mentioning our strengths and weaknesses to help point out what we need to work on :)

website design :)



here is our draft website design :)
after carrying out website research we decided we wanted to go with a simple layout where you can click on a page to open a new tab so it is easy to understand, we want to include lots of different colours to portray her style and genre right.
also we wanted to include suitable images for example to swallow which is cute and iconic for Kate Nash as her previous websites inlude numerous swallows. 
the butterflys and bumble bee will be drawn on to keep it not naturalistic yet cute and simple :)

digi pack design :D


on the cover we want 'Kate Nash' on the swing which we have already mentioned then on the back cover the same photo in reverse from the back of her as we feel this is simple yet effective :) 
on the inside sleeve we want a picture of a daisy with writing i love you, i love you not which is suituable and links with the lyrics.
finally on the cd we just want kate nash in our selected font on a vintage pattern background to keep to our vintage indie pop genre :)
