For my magazine advert, I decided to go with the inside of the album (Church). The reason I decided to use this is the bright colours that would attract people to look at it. I thought about how I would set it out, I found that like the digipak I could not add anything to it because of the amount of things going on in the image, the way I would lay it out and still have it effective is to have it like Cee-lo lady killer album digipak where it had the album on the top but at the same time it had a box on the bottom where the writing could go. I thought hard about it and I realised this would be a great idea. I could add the inside of the album but at the same time carry out and follow through with the same theme. I would have a black box at the bottom of the screen with white righting to represent the digipak front and back cover, then have the inside of the album on the top.

Editing process so far...
During this editing process, I am finding that I have not edited to the beat on some parts of the song. I noticed that in the song 'Silent Serenade' there was a low bass guitar that I had not noticed before. I noticed this when I cranked up the volume whilst watching my music video and i noticed that it did not fit. In order to make a successful music video, I would have to edit to the beat. to catch it right on the base guitar, I selected the Song on final cut and I locked the clips. Then I played the audio clip and pressed the key, command + (M) every time I hear the base guitar then I would move my clips into position. This was effective because i edited to the beat which made everything mash/come together.

Using Photoshop for Digipak - CREATING THE BACK COVER
I started off by opening a new photoshop file 500x500 and pained it black by using the Paint bucket tool.

The next step was to add the text to the album back cover. I selected the text tool then went into the drop down menu as you can see bellow and selected olde English.
I then added the track listings.
In order to make it seem like a legitimate album that could be bought in stores it needed to have a bar code. I searched up a bar code on google and then opened it up on photoshop. I dragged the photo straight onto my album back.

The next step was to add the text to the album back cover. I selected the text tool then went into the drop down menu as you can see bellow and selected olde English.
I realized that i had a problem with the bar code, and that was that it was way too small. So i selected the layer with the bar code then went into Edit > free transformation, which allowed me to move around the bar code.
Bellow stetted out bar code.

Today's Filming
The thing that i want to achieve today is the filming of the band and getting individual shots of each of the band member. We asked for permission to get the instruments and to use the lighting e.g. spot light.
What we changed
What we did was that we mad a couple changes to the band. Instead of me being in the drummer, we decided to use a year 11 as our drummer because he could actually play the drums. We also added another member to our band making him the 2nd base guitarist. We looked at our original shot and it appeared dark it didn't actually show my face so we decided improve our lighting by using spot lights which made a real difference in the film.

Today was an accomplishment. We were able to film more than we had predicted.
