Final Magazine Advertisement

Here is our final Magazine advertisement:

Above is the original size we created it, however we realised that it wasn't industry standard because it didn't fit a whole or half an A4 sheet. Therefore we edited it into the larger version seen below which fits half an A4 sheet.

Final cut of Cyanide

This is the final cut of our music video. In this cut we replaced some of the shots so that the two aspects of performance and narrative were more distinctive, and we also tweaked the timing of some shots to make the lip syncing as accurate as possible.

Changes to our ideas

As we came close to shooting our video we realised some changes could be made to our final product in order to improve it.

Firstly the pre-recorded copy of the song we had did not include the drums as it was an acoustic version. At first we thought we could record the drums separately and edit them into the song later, so we filmed our drummer for the music video. However we realised there was no need to add them and it would give us unnecessary extra work so we decided not to include the drums in the video.

Next we chose to not include the second female in shot as this may draw too much focus away from the important characters. Also due to the lyrics referring in first person we chose to make our lead singer the main character as well. She also played the part well and looked how we imagined the character to look. This would also make the video a little less complicated for the audience and allow for an interesting twist at the end.

Finally, during filming and editing our first cut, we found it was difficult to manage times which fitted with the people and places we needed for each scene despite our filming schedule so as a group we decided not to include the party and argument scenes. This would not only save us time but also it made the video's narrative much simpler and easier to understand.

Equipment information

The equipment that we will be using is very simple, however, used in the correct way, we will be able to create the desired effect.
We will need a camera in order to film all of the footage that we need, a tripod so that we can eliminate any movement in the camera for certain shots, which will create a nice still shot.
We may use a dolly in some shots which will allow us to move the camera from side to side without any jolts to the shot.
Along with all this filming equipment we will be using the editing programme iMovie. 

With the use of all of this equipment we will be able to create a music video which will be of high quality.
