To re-enforce my editorial desision i have decided to include proof of some of the editing shots and ananalysis of why i have done them. They are posted below:
PLANNING- Edit Decision Lists
After filming in order to create our product we used a edit decision list. this allowed us to write all the timings of shots and in which order they came. this allowed us to organise our footage a lot faster. Also with this list we could eliminate footage we did not want (laughing, wrong footage).

PLANNING - Risk Assesments
Before being allowed to film we had to fill out a form in order to make sure the equipment would be safe, as well as ourselves and actors. the Risk Assessment form is posted below:
For our Project all of our ideas and filming locastion had very low risks. this allowed us to go ahead with our filming.

PLANNING- Final Stencil Layouts
These Final Stencil Layouts are to Clarify the Designs we will be making, as there is so may different drafts from each member in our group.
We all went through process of elimination and trial and error in creating the final products and stencils
The Final Stencils are Presented Below:

PLANNING - Original Images to Poster and DigiPack
These are the original images for our products before they were edited. they were taken my Natalie Barker (a member of our group) as she is also a photograpy student and has easy acess to a camera of high quality. she did these after discussions with our group about ideas that would be a good fit for our target audience.

PLANNING - Advert Poster Drafts
After providing numerous poster stencils for my group, we had to decide on using a poster itself.
we all created many individual posters so we had a variety to eliminate from.
Below are a few images we have created individually in regards to our target audience:
The images above are created by my group member (Natalie). they are both showing different styles of the actor. unfortunately we cannot use these images of our actor as they are submitted for other work, and gathering new images to keep in time with our production schedule will not be possible. so it is a safe option to stick with a similar version of poster to our digi-pack which is the rabbit mask.
These adverts above were created by a member of my group (Emily). she experimented with the colour of the mask poster as we were quite keen on having that new colour. but from this looking at a poster we have decided as a group to go against it, and stick with more natural colours, as this looks more feminine and our target audience is both males and females. However the actor image is very professional/magazine looking and would be a fantastic image/style to use if we were to use this image (which is not possible now at this stage).
The images above were created by a member of my group (Anna) they also show editing from our original images. as a group we all went against these images as the rabbit image looked to 'bitty' and the actor image looked for more of a style of a digi pack then a poster.

The advert posters above I have personally created from our original images (analysed in next post). i have edited them in photo shop to get a professional finishing. I have used many different techniques to match the adverts in magazines. i prefer the image of the actor as it is simple and fits our target audiences age range.

PLANNING - Rough Stencils and Drafts of Advertisement Posters
A lot of research is needed for an Advert poster such as layout, style and fonts. as this is what will mainly attract the audience to our product
The image above is a simle idea of teh text layout followed my two cartoon images of the two main characters, this could work with cartoons or actual actors.
Below are a few Stencils of layouts so we know where TEXT could be located:
I feel that the First and Last image 'stencil' is the most appropriate as it is more attractive to the viewers eye.
Now i have done computerised stencils, i will do hand written drawings/sketches to show how the IMAGES will be presented:
This is a hand drawn copy of a studio based image we could make. I do not think this would be suitable as our video is in a very natural setting.
The image above ill be a fantastic poster image, however it will not be a caroon but an actual photograph of the locaion and the character.

Now following my scanned stencil hand drawn images i will attempt to computerise full posters, and use test ideas.
They are posted and analysed below:
PLANNING - Advert Final Ideas
The mind map below shows some initial ideas of adverts we could use for our music video.
As these are only initial ideas we will as a group expand on them in greater detail.
From the use of ICT i decided to update my hand-drawn ideas onto the computer to make it simple and neater. It is posted below:

PLANNING - Digi Pack Drafts
After Deciding to do Computerised Stencils to show where TEXT can be allocated, i decided to do some hand-drawn Digi-pack covers so we could see how images can be located. they are added below:
These images will not be cartoon-like, this is purely sketches to show how our IMAGES Will be positioned.
Below are Computerised Actual Digi pack COVERS me and my group have made (who has made what will be said below):
These three images were made my a member of my group (Natalie), we discussed high and low key lighting within our group and what differences this would make to our audience, we decided that because are audience was over the age of 12 that a more of a low key lighting would be affective as its mysterious and would draw them in. Natalie decided to make these layouts so we could put our thoughts together and see if our idea worked.
Overall we feel the low key lighting worked but not the style of font/layout of fonts. Natalie then played around with how the font could be layed out. these were her results. we then decided not to do an effect with the fonts as it was too distracting, and to keep the colours natural as it fits in with the music videos theme.
Another member of my group (Anna) created these two covers to explore where text can be situated. This First example does not work as the band name is too long; and the image is too simple and boring.

Another Member of our group (Emily) decided we should explore different effects, as from research on my live video questionnaire, our target audience say they prefer effects, we experimented with a burning of the grass effect which we thought was very effective, and the font was also a great success. But the layout needs addressing.
She then explored with another effect of turning it all 'negative', we as a group decided against this as it looked to dark.

This First example does not work as the band name is too long; and the image is too simple and boring.The Second image explores further with Emily's image on the colour. it shows a different version of where the text can be situated. i personally feel this is a good layout for the bands name, but it leaves very little room for the song title which has not been added.
These next two images are my own personal digi pack attempts. i have experimented with colour and effects reflecting on the title of the song 'UFO' as the connotations of the words UFO are:
- aliens
- space
- unusual
- strange
- planets
- the unknown
From these connotations i tried to reflect the background and the whole layout to be 'un-usual'
however i feel that this would not reflect the abstractness of the video and the band that we are trying to portray, as it is being very obvious and un-original.
Here is a COMPLETE DRAFT of a digi pack i have personally created:
PLANNING - Digi Pack Inspirations and Stencils
As we have decided to go with the location of grass. me and my group have came up with some examples of what we can create. the grass is a very simple idea but also allows us to have the opportunity to explore and play around as much as we want.
posted below are two basic examples.
From these 2 basic examples in my opinion i prefer the 2nd image, as i believe the writing at the bottom is more pleasing to the eye. so i will like to experiment more with this in further posts.
Our group created these ideas after an inspiration of an album cover one group member got (Natalie), from The Auteurs. [the album cover is analysed below]
The grass idea is very simple yet quite effective; the bold white text stands out well and keeps a very natural feel to the cover.
I think the added use of props, such as the rabbit mask, or one of our actors will work well on this.
OUR INSPIRATION
We used this as an inspiration as the plain grassy bush/background allowed the images on top to stand out the most. it also has the words 'watch this' and it makes you wonder what you should be watching as its so simple. the white bold text stands out and is easily readable, the image is also bold and situated nicely around the text.
Below here are some stencils of digipacks with the right dimensions. The dimensions for a digi pack are "139.5mm by 125.5mm" i have found this out by Internet research and by measuring my own digi packs at home with a ruler.
From this we created a lager view of some stencils of front covers that we could use. They are very simple so we have a basic knowledge of what we can work with.
Below are some FRONT COVER stencils:
In my opinion the second stencil is more suitable for the effect we want to create.
Below are some BACK COVER stencils:
posted below are two basic examples.

I think the First TWO images are most suitable as they are the most simple for the back cover, as it will just need credits and the bands song name.
Below are some INSIDE COVER stencils: 
i feel the second and third image is more suitable as it is really simple and does not overload you with unwanted information.
Below are some CD TRAY stencils:
Both of these Cd trays are very suitable as you cant have to much variety as there will be a Cd blocking the detail.
