Final outcome. Video

This was my final out come . . .

Idea Creation. CD Sticker

I also wanted to create a CD Sticker. I got some sheets of stickers, which came with a programme to install on my computer which made it easy to print my design.
The Sticker uses the same typeface and colour as the DVD box cover to in keep with the design. It also includes my blog adress.

Idea Creation. Presentation

The DVD sleve was created in Illustrator, this is how the final design for the DVD sleeve looked. On the back of the sleeve there is a description of what the DVD consists of. Also included on the back is my BLOG address.

Idea Creation. Going That Bit Further

After creating my park scene in imovie, i felt it was in need of an introduction. So i borrowed a camera from college again, brought it home and took shots as if the shoes were being brought home then coming alive. It worked well and gave the park scenes a beginning.

To create my scenes at home i first created a storyboard so i knew where i was going with the shots and to br able intergrade it with the park scenes.

Idea Creation. Bringing My Idea To Life

With my park footage i began to edit it using imovie. I began to add music to see what fitted with the scenes. I tryed "new shoes" by Paolo Nutini. The words went with the scenes but the beat didn't quite go. I then heard a remix of 'sweet child O'Mine' by Taken By Trees on Radio 1. I tryed this on my clips and it worked.

Idea Creation

Once i decided on my final idea and how i would like to present it i borrowed a Camcorder from college to capture some footage of my shoes at the park to experiment. I decided to film the shoes meeting at the park, firstly meeting at the bench, then head off to the roundabout and then to the swings. With the intention of speeding up the clips on the roundabout and swings so it flowed. At this point i wasn't to sure if this would work, and if i would be able to capture the flow i was after.

I took a total of 155 photos at the park, slowly moving the shoes to create a good flow movement. With all this footage i had an idea to create a short film accompanied by music in iMovie.

Introduction to imovie

Imovie Notes
We had an introduction to imovie, in imovie you can upload and edit videos and import photos to create a stop motion video. It is very usefull as you can edit the time and length of the video, cut out parts you don't need and add audio.

Photos in imovie:
Ken Burns Effect - Can create a moving image out of a still image, by zooming in and speeding it up.

Audio in imovie:
Can record a comentry
Also picks up music from itunes

Video in imovie:
Editing and cutting video clips:
Play head - click - position player head to position you want to cut - edit - split video clip at player head.

Trans in imovie:
Play with speed settings to create the effect you desire.

First stages of rich media progect

One of my ideas is to have shoes going on a journey, so i did some experimental stop motion shots to see if it would work out.




This was my first attempt on my own with the stop motion technique, it looks ok but i could have really done with a camera stand so the background stays the same and only the shoes move!



This was my second attempt, i had a camera stand for this one and moved the shoes slowly to give it a better effect.





I then continued the journey in the park experimenting with the roundabout and swings.





For this one i've done two sceens as one has people walking past and the other i've cut them out, however i think both work well.
