Main Image Ideas for Ancillary Texts


I made a quick mind map to show some of the ideas I have had for what main image I could us on my ancillary texts. I had quite a few ideas and the ones I don't use for the cover I might be able to incorporate onto the back, spine or inside panels of my digipak. So far my favourite ideas are the layered effect ones which will involve me playing around with the opacity of the images but I also like the idea of aligning half of each characters faces. I may also use the dripping blood effect on the back of my digipak as it is simple and doesn't draw too much attention away from the information, such as the tracklist.

3) Teenage Icon
4) Slave
5) Lithium
6) Stormy Monday
7) Eddie's Gun
8) Crying Lightning 
9) Ten Cent Pistol
10) Pseudologia Fantastica
11) Smiths Disco
12) Pretty Girls Make Graves

Music Video - Second Edit



Above is the second draft of my music video which I am much happier with although there is still a lot of room for improvement. Towards the end of the draft there are still a few gaps where I have unfortunately not been able to complete filming due to lack of time. I had hoped to get all of my filming done in the last session but Kate and I had commitments later in the day and therefore some of the 'flashback' scenes didn't get filmed. I will make sure that these are done within the first few weeks back from the half term. 
Some of the shots used aren't as how I had planned them to look and so I may consider re filming these if I get the chance to, however I now have a much better idea of what my finished product will look like and have the ability to change shots I think don't fit. I haven't experimented with the editing techniques as much as I'd hoped to so in time for the next draft I hope to use these a lot more. This draft is obviously unfinished and needs some work doing to it but I think that the video is improving and I am hopeful that it will get to a standard I am happy with.
