Editing - Colour Grading.
After making the final edit we need to make the final adjustments. We are now in the process of colour grading the video, we are adding various tints for different scenes, for example a grey/black and white colour for the church narrative, a grimy, green/red colour for the bathroom/kitchen scenes and dark colours for the performance in the forest. Colour grading the video makes it look so much better, and the colours chosen suit our track and genre.
Digipak progress.
Today in class I created the title for the front cover of my digipak, I picked a cool looking font from the website da font, I felt this fit our genre as it looked quite religious and symbolic. I edited the font in photoshop, as you can see I added a grey colour that I blurred and faded, this gave it a gravestone look which I thought looked good as it fits our narrative. I also tinted this with a red colour to symbolise blood.
For the rest of the panels I might go for a darker look with that blends in with the front covers background.

Finished Media page.
Today I have finished the media page on my website. The media page consists of our latest track, YouTube videos, and social feeds. I made this page very interactive to engage the audience, I have also included a forum so people could chat on the website.
As you can see I have included three YouTube video's that tell my fans about upcoming gigs and competitions ect. I have added a live feed of my instagram and twitter posts along with my track that the viewers can listen to.

Kitchen Scene
Last night we filmed the last part of our narrative in charm wood kitchen, the filming was very successful and after looking at some of the footage after I am pleased. Filming the last scene was tricky as it involved making sure the meat looked like guts by getting the right angle. We also had problems involving getting a shot where the priest picks me up and puts me on the table, but in the end we managed to get the shots.
Here are some photos of the props we used and the setting itself:

As you can see the setting looked gloomy and fitted our genre perfectly and I'm sure it will look good in our video.

Planning for filming tonight.
Tonight we are going to be filming the last narrative section of our video, in preparation I have bought some kidneys to make it look like the priest is taking my guts apart. We also have fake blood that we can use.
Hopefully the filming goes well and we have some good footage that we can use.

OFFICERS X GARY NUMAN - PETALS (VIDEO TWO: EXTENDED CUT)
Today in class we came across a video by the officers which looked great and fitted our genre perfectly. The narrative was a guy getting surgery why he is still awake. We thought this was an interesting concept and have come up with an ending scene for our video from inspiration from this music video.
As the priest has killed me and is dragging me through the forest, we thought it would be interesting to follow on from this. We had an idea that the priest would take me back to his home and kill me by cutting me up. We thought this would look great as the gore would suit our track and the genre and we have seen gore through many of the video's I have analysed in the past.
We have found a location in school that we can use which is charmwood, inside the kitchen. This is the perfect location as it has many utensils we can use along with the metal table we wanted. We are going to do a sequence of shots of the priest dragging me through the kitchen (in his house) and then putting me on the table. We are going to have one camera over the top of me capturing my facial expressions, this will be a mid shot. Then we have other shots such as the priest pulling the meat apart and sharpening knifes ect.
This is the video that gave us the idea. As you can see it uses dark lighting for the table scene and a mid shot of the guy showing his facial expression as he is getting torn apart. We will also use this as the ending, we are going to have the priest washing his hands in blood and then walking off while placing his bible down on the table. This will show that the killer has paid for his sins.
