Softwares

For our video we will be using different softwares:



For the editing of our video we will be using Adobe Premiere Pro. It is one of the best editing soft wares. This was a natural choice since Mahnoor, our editor is already well acquainted with the software and due to its easy availability (she already has it on her laptop).



For the Digipack design and animated drawings we will be using Photoshop. This is the software we used for our Magazine task and are therefore familiar and comfortable with it. All of us having ample skills on the software will also allow us to divide certain tasks and get them done more efficiently.

We decided to make the website using Wix.com which is an online free website builder tool, particularly for the range of options it offers us such as playable tracks that would be handy when building a website for an artist.

Second Cut (Final Music Video)

Once the first cut was done all the footage was laid out in the required order, the second cut was for adding all the effects and animations to make the video more visually pleasing. While shooting we relied on the sunlight as our main source of lighting and since the shoot took place over three shooting days with varying levels of light on certain scenes, this lead to some unpleasing discoloration to certain sections of the footage where the camera picked up odd muddy tones instead of the vibrant primary colours. In this first half of colour correction Mahnoor basically tried to match all the footage to a equal level of brightness and correct all the discoloration and try to match them on intensity and saturation of colour as well. In the image above you can see her correcting the dull greenish hues on the original video to a the required soft vibrant yellow. She wanted to match all the colours so when she would further apply filters there would be no miss match. After basi...

Website (Final)

Though we all gave her input and went over various options and versions together, Mahum was the one who actually constructed the website. She created it from scratch, starting off with a blank template. The team  looked at existing websites of renowned artist, in order to find out the  codes and conventions  existing in websites (Website Analysis). Following this, Mahum looked at different templates on wix to get a better idea of the options available on the platform. Understanding the Website Editor was a little tricky for her but she managed to do it.  For the menu page she did not want to add alot of things, inspired by the minimalist styles some indie websites are using.She wanted to  keep it simple. She added a menu bar, customized it to her liking in accordance to the colour scheme that we had decided and above that added our Logo designed by Mahnoor. On the top right she added a sign in button customized with our decided colour scheme  and on th...

Intertextuality

Intertextuality refers to when one media text incorporates another media text and in the process alters said media text. Intertextuality has many sub types such as: Pastiche: Pastiche is when a media text imitates another media text or style in a positive way. Marina and the Diamonds' music video for 'Shampain' is a pastiche of Micheal Jackson's 'Thriller' music video as a bunch of undead girls join her for a choreographed dance sequence. The music video for 'Gives You Hell' is a pastiche of a typical 50's neighbourhood, with the 'family oriented' side of the warring neighbours dressing in typical 50's fashion too. Parody: In a parody a media text often uses references from another media text to to mock it. Bo Burnham's 'Repeat Stuff' music video parodies Justin Beiber in parts of his music video as a way to poke fun at the unoriginal and vague music they produce which plays of...
