Poster Ideas

I have to considered alot of details when creating my poster, so I have been working on alot of different images and colour schemes for my poster the most effective appears to be the black and white colour effects, this also matches up well with the Johnny Cash element in my work as most of his existing posters are in black and white.

country music designs

Through out this stage of my project I have been studying different examples of country music designs that have already been used to get an idea of the style of work I need to include in my work. But this also alows me to avoid accidently copying someone elses designs.

Sorry I Missed a Lesson

I'm sorry I missed the lesson on Friday but I was in hospital having a procedure performed on my right foot. It required me to stay in hospital for the day due to complications and the used of a strong anaesthetic that resulted in me being unconscious for an hour, this meant I was unable to leave until 3 o'clock as the doctors needed to keep an eye on me as I recovered.
This shouldn't effect my work but it may cause me to be late to a fue lessons as I can't run on my right foot.
In the mean time I've been looking on Scribd for documents relateded to country music. I found a few interesting documents including one called happy trails about the life of Roy Rogers its quit interesting as he was a bit of a cowboy.
Heres just a small exstract.
''Roy Rogers was everyone's image of what a cowboy should be, from his white Stetson with its silver hatband to his hand-tooled boots. His face was strong and handsome with eyes that squinted yet still showed a twinkle. His smile was warm and reassuring. Whether he was wearing fringed Western wear or a checkered cowboy shirt, he was the epitome of what a cowboy should be. He was the picture of honesty and integrity. And was there ever a more exciting sight than watching Roy and Trigger riding majestically across the television screen or a rodeo arena? No wonder three generations of kids (and adults) wanted to be like Roy Rogers. We wanted to look like Roy, dress like Roy, and be as honest and forthright as Roy.
He gave us standards to live by that helped teach us the difference between right and wrong. His willingness to stand up for the things he believed in inspired us. And his religious faith and his concern for the less fortunate helped mold our character. Roy lived his life off camera with the same decency and humility that he projected on television and on the silver screen. He was the hero who never let us down. Despite all the success that came to him, Roy never seemed to lose his way. And he never forgot that his fans were the ones who made it possible for a poor boy from Ohio to attain a level of success greater than anything he could ever have imagined. His decency and strength of character come from a simpler time in America. Yet it was anything but an easy time.''

editing changes and final video

I spend alot of time during lessons and after school editing this video,
It took a very longtime but it was definitely worth it to as the outcome greater then I thought it would be. Most of my teachers agree with this and have been a great help with all of my work so far.

Planning

The Plan at the moment is to take photos of John and use them to make the digi-pak.
These are some of the rooms I have been work and planning my work in.

After looking at these examples I have collected, I analysed these images with reference to the Country music genre and desided that the best form of altering my images for my Disk cover was the Black and White gradient change. As it looks good and matches well with the Johnny Cash CD covers that are already in the market.

Editing 2

I am continuing to edit my video this could take some time and alot of after school work but it will definitely be worth it to get a the finished result.
The video needs a few more cuts to make it perfect.

Other versions

There are alot of other versions of the Ring of Fire song by different artist and groups. Some of them from different genres and use different instruments to the original.
Gordon Keith

Coldplay

Wall of Voodoo

Ray Charles

George Canyon- in a literal ring of fire

My video ideas

Underneath are a list of my ideas on how to improve my video for my final draft.
These lists consistof the pros and cons of each idea as well as their individual practically.

To do list

Here is a list of things I need to do and consider before I decide how I am going to create my final video and digi pack.

• Write out my three ideas for a video in detail, including pros and cons as well as practicality


• Take location shots of all theoretical locations.
  
• Decide which idea I am going to use, include a list of the cast.


• Make a prop list and risk assessment of the selected video.


• Book equipment for shooting and decide on camera placing.


• Film video and edit.

• Start Evaluation

New storyboard

Started to design and create my new storyboard today, I also watched other versions of the song to give me some new ideas.

Changes

Due to a conversation I had with miss Sutton on Thursday I have come to the decision that I will change the storyboard I am using to a more detailed and complex version with more shots and a better sense of continuity.This will greatly increase the effectiveness of my video and hopefully convey the point I am trying to get across to my audience that is, Love can hurt alot especially lost love but it is not the end of the world, start afresh and forget about the heart ache its causes. I have been through this many times and I'm still standing. So stand up and get on with your life it's the only way forward.

PS. Happy Bonfire Night.

Locations

As it is only my draft video I decided to change a few of the locations to less crowded areas hear are photos the locations that I changed them too, They are all in my house but in the best video I intend to use my local pub as it has a good atmosphere and has more of country feel.

The camera for my filming will be placed here were the plant is currently.

This room will replace the backroom of the pub where my characters have an arguement.

















This room will replace the main entrance of the pub where my characters kiss each other.

Discussion

Today I had a chat with my media teacher and he says I need to add more to my blog and complete the editing of my video to have it ready for Friday, so it appears I will be busy this week.On another note I have put more then half of my video onto the Macs today I hope that the finidhed product will be great but I'm worried about the timing and if I have enough of it to finish the project on time.
No point in panicing though as I have gotten out of tighter spots with everything in tact.
I apciate the helpful comments by Mr Smith but his imput has begun to effect the outcome of the video and so I am going to change back to some of the original ideas I came up with Mrs Sommels help.

Indoors

Finished all my indoor filming today, only one scene left to film.
The shots I am filming will contain no lip syncing and no sound so the music can be played over the top.
