Filming

Today we filmed part of our music video for the scenes in the field, it was very cold and windy so we tried to get as much filmed as we could without our fingers falling off which luckily we managed to do! we got all the angles we needed for that location, which we chose to be Forty Hill, however we still need to get a shot of the shoes we wore with this costume which we will film tomorrow. Overall the filming went well and we will we bit out soon again to film our other half of the music video which is up London.

What Is A Digipak?

A DigiPak is a patented style of CD or DVD packaging and is registered trademark of AGI-Shorewood, an Atlas Holding LLC Company. DigiPaks typically consist of a gatefold (book-style) paperboard or card stock outer binding, with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a CD or DVD attached to the inside. 

DigiPaks can flip open like a book, or it can have three parts, so that one portion of the packaging opens to the right and one to the left, with the CD in the centre portion. Usually, the portion of the DigiPak that holds the CD is made of plastic like a traditional jewel case CD - the plastic part us simply attached to the paper background,

In addition, the panels can be increased from 4, to 6, 8 and more. CD and DVD DigiPaks make a big statement, they represent the ultimate custom packaging for your CD or DVD replication project. A DigiPak is also a more environmentally friendly option when compared with traditional plastic jewel cases or DVD cases.

BFI Trip

Today we went on a trip to the BFI, we were spoken to by Pete Fraizer who gave us useful tips on what to do and what not to do in our exam whilst also hearing from Corin Hardy which was really interesting as he had previously worked with famous artists on creating their music videos such as The Prodigy and Ed Sheeran which gave me more ideas on what to do with my music videos and which effects i can do/use and it also inspired me a lot.

Iconography

These are some images of iconography from the 60's and 70's; the kind of things we are looking to include in our music video.

Ferdinand De Saussure and Roland Barthes

A sign can be a physical form to which we give a meaning

Ferdinand De Saussures, a theorist about signifiers suggested that 'no word has a meaning, it's your own interpetatition'

'What does the sign say? - it says nothing it needs to be read' is also a quote which Ferdinand said

Signifiers

The physical form which we can see it hear

e.g. Words, diagrams, pictures, musical

Signified

The meaning which we attach to the signifiers

e.g. Leaner driver, symbol, danger

Roland Barthes added to Ferdinands ideas and labelled them a 'symbolic code'.

These are the:

- Colour

- Body Language

- Props

- Gesture

- Weather

- Lighting

- Setting

- Sounds

- Objects

- Clothing
