Final Evaluation

Using Sony Vegas

Here is our finished Jeepers Creepers music video, I will show you some of the steps and editing techniques we used to reach this final product.

This is our final product before we rendered it in widescreen 720p.

We took the opacity down from the original shot of ou protagonist so we could have a flash of a shot fo the clown layered over the top. We did this simply by dragging the opacity bar down from the top of the shot, on the timeline.

For this shot, we realised that we had broken the 180 degree rule so we had to flip the shot around. We did this simply by clicking on the 'Event Pan/Crop'  symbol on the shot on the timeline. Once this box was opened, all we had to do was right click and select 'flip horizontal' now the 180 degree rule has not been broken.

On the shots of the clown, we decided that we needed make the colours more saturated so on each shot we selected the Saturation Adjust and then the Boost Midtones on the Media FX menu.

On the shots of the protagonist in the hospital bed, we decided we wanted a green tint on the shots. In the Media FX menu we selected colour corrector then Green Highlight, we applied this to every shot of the protagonist in the hospital bed.

On the shots of the band performing, we wanted a stylised effect to get across an urban feel reflecting the location and to contrast the woods in the rest of the video. To do this we selected Unsharp Mask in the Media FX menu and then on this, we created our own preset which gave the shot an almost cartoon effect.

Album advert feedback

We showed the AS media class our three different album adverts, we have recorded our feedback in this short video:

Evidence of Photoshop work

For our ancillary tasks, we used Photoshop to create them.

Here is our digipak front cover. We used different layers in photoshop to create the border and graphic text.

To create the red eye, I used the magic wand tool to select the section of the eye. once it was selected, I used the colour levels to make it red.

For our album advert we did three different versions, each one was different in terms of colour levels. We used the levels tool to make them lighter or darker.

3 Album Advert Versions

 We created this album advert in photoshop. I took a photograph of a plain bricked wall for the background. This fits with the urban theme of the performance element of the music video. It also fits with the inside panels of our digipak. The line in between information is inspired by White Lies' Ritual poster as it gives a sophisticated layout. The 3 main colours we have used are conventional of album adverts and the album cover art is used on the advert so fans or readers of the advert recognise the album when it is out. We have also put tour dates on the poster as a lot of examples we have looked at seem to have this information. We also created a record label logo for Milestone Recording ltd. this is in the bottom right corner. This first example is with normal colour levels on the background.









This example is with the colour levels darkened.

This example is with the background colour levels lightened and the main body of text black instead of white.

Milestone Recordings Ltd.

From our research into Album Adverts, we saw that there were always recording company logos to advertise their company as well as the album concerned. So, in Photoshop we created this logo. We simply selected a font and then coloured sections of it and added another layer to write 'Milestone Recordings Ltd.'

Poster insert for Digipak

From our digipak research, we discovered that some bands included posters folded up inside a slot in the digipak. We have used this idea and created our own two sided poster.

I created this side of the poster in Photoshop. I added the background layer, it was a photograph that I have taken of a night sky with lack of focus. I then cropped it to the size of a poster. Then on another layer I added Fear The Lizard's logo that we created and then finally on another layer with the lyrics in white text in the same font that we have used on our digipak cover.

On this side of the poster, I added 3 different photographs together to create the background. then I added the title in the same font that we will use on our album advert.

Album Advert Research

The album advert for A N N A in NME displays the album's front cover artwork with album information and tour information on a black box underneath the cover. There are 3 main colours being used, black, white and grey with some red covering dates which are sold out on their tour. In the bottom right there looks to be a record company symbol.

The album advert for Holy Fire has the album's front cover artwork cropped down to fit on a rectangular sheet rather than a digipak. The title is in big bold font and the information is clear and in one colour. There is also a short quote from a review central. Again, there are 3 main colours being used.

The album advert for Ritual uses only two colours, black and white, this portrays the band's image as serious. Most of the background is black but a section at the bottom is a photograph of the band performing live. The title of the album is in clear blod font and so are the review quotes. The use of a underscore line is used to separate the title, the quotes and the tour dates.

















The album advert for MYLOXYLOTO has the album's cover artwork on the front cropped to size. The release information is quite small and the imagery dominates the advert.

The album advert for Black & White America has 3 main colours, black, white and red. The album cover art is in the middle of the page with information underneath in small text. The featuring singles are in bigger text and there are record company logos near the bottom.

Jeepers Creepers Final edit

For our final edit of the music video, our teacher pointed out to us that we needed to distinguish between our different narratives. What we have decided to do is:

• Add a Green tint over the hospital shots, this is inspired by Hitchcock's Vertigo and this creates an uncomfortable response from the spectator.
• Add some sort of effect over the performance shots to make them seem more 'urban' and stylised. 
• Add some colour saturation on the shots of the clown, so they stand out more from the black and white shots which they are layered over.

Back cover

The Imagery of the Back Cover, links with the theme of insanity and different ways of interpreting things. Also, the image of the woods links with the Jeepers Creepers music video as a lot of the footage takes place in the woods. I took the photograph with a slow shutter speed and I twisted the camera as the photograph was being taken to create the distorted effect.
