Video Progress

I have now found a way to get my footage onto adobe premier pro, although it is rather time consuming and a nuisance I'll have to stick at it. I have done 30 seconds of my video so far which I am satisfied with.

Emails

I have now sent the first email asking my audience which images they think I should use, When I get a reply to this email I will blog the results and proceed to send out the second email asking about which image is best for the front cover of my digi pack.

Email Drafts

I have created two draft emails, the reason they are only drafts is that I am having trouble attaching images on my home PC so I will attach them tomorrow on the school computers.
The first email is to gain my audiences opinion on the images and the effects I have experimented with. I have asked them to let me know which one they prefer that will fit into my brand identity. This will help me decided on an image for both the front and back of my digi pack.

The second email is to ask the audiences opinion on which image they think should go at the front and which should go at the back. I already have my personal opinion of this but I would like to see if my audience agree and if they don't I will go for their choice, after all it is aimed to appeal to them.

Time Consuming Problems

As I previously blogged I am still currently having problems with the video editing technology. I chose to film my video on my home camera which is HD whereas the school camera is mini DV and this appears to be the problem in making the two different formats of shot work on the same programme. I am in the process of copying the footage onto a different computer to see if the problem is infact the HD footage or the programme. This process is extremely frustrating as I feel I can not make any progress in this lesson and my organisation of getting my video filmed early and quickly hasn't paid off at all. I can also see other class mates getting on with their work when I am making no video progress. Although I am concentrating on my digi pack which is making progress.

Photos

I have just created a very quick draft of the back of my digi pack as shown below but I now am thinking maybe the photo of stacy should be the front cover and the bnowl should be the back cover. As I am undecided about this I am going to send out some rough drafts of both to my target audience.

Edited Photos

Some effects I have played around with;

Successful Shoot

The photo shoot was successful tonight and I got some really good shots that  I am hoping will work well on the back of my digi pack. I will begin to edit them tomorrow.
