My New York video No.2 (final piece)

After adding music to the video, I exported it, then opened it up into Final Cut, to add titles and credits.
Doing this was a treck, it took a while to understand, but after adding one text to the video clip, It got easier to add the rest, and with Movement + Fades.

My New York collage No.1 (before the titles/credits)

I dragged the video file into GarageBand, then used the sample music to add effect to it, making it match with the video clip, it had to be precise and not random.

This is a Demo soundtrack that I've created in Garage Band.   

This was quite fun, and easy for me to create a mix of sample music tracks.
I normally use GarageBand at my home so I found this Demo quite fun to make, partly because I knew the sort of music genre I wanted to have for my demo, and mostly because I am very familiar with the software and roughly already know how to use it fully.
Next time I'd like to bring my guitar, and connecter into class to record my own music, so that way, the soundtrack wont have any copyright fragment.
This will also, for sure make it more original.

 

Logo Design No.2 (Final piece)

With a few simple motions I used to create a the final moving logo, I couldn't have fully completed it without editing the images on Photoshop, and adding some alternative sounds I found on garage band and mixed. The logo went really well, some people that noticed that the spelling of productions, is spelt as "Producions" but it was my aim to make it odd, that is why it will stand out.

Logo Design No.2 (The Idea)

There was no more research to be done, the next step was to come up with an original idea, and put it to paper, and that is exacally what I did. My first idea was to have a cartoon arrow, go flying at a dart board, with the camera following it, and then the arrow would hit the board, showing a ribbon that is attatched to the back of the arrow, with "Matt Productions" written sideway's on it in bold lettering. I then created a short story board for it that was scene for scene, like I'd pictured it in my mind. I then realised that it would take far too much time to create, so I decided to go for a clean, shade of white and black logo.

Research into Companies and their Logo's

The day went by so fast, the task was to do some online research on different types of Logo's e.g big companies like apple. I, myself am a fan of comic books. so I decided to go for the typical comic-book companies, Marvel & DC comic's.
 

 we had work-sheets that we wrote any valid information we found the companies, another thing we had to do for each company that we wrote about was to attempt to draw the companies logo. I'm pretty sure that we had to do this because it would show the difficulty, and how Logo's are not just drawn by hand, but they are planned out very carefully sketched and layed out, with exact precission.

The Night Club Flyer

The Living Room! That is what I called my club, the class today was set some work to create a flyer, advertising a nightclub, this was aimed at teaching the students to become more familiar with Photoshop. This helped me understand a little, of how Photoshop works all together. Since it was knew to me the day before, what I acheived today is alot to in comparrison to what I did yesterday. The main tool I used was the magnetic lasser tool, to cut around selected areas, and crop. I got lost when I used Text, but I got my head around it, just in time for uploading it to Flickr.

The World Is Your Eye

Monday was great. we learnt how to  use standard skills on Ps, AKA Photoshop. We began with an exercise where we found a set .Jpeg image of an eye and another of the earth. We had to import them into Photoshop and modify them to overlap the iris with the cropped image of he earth, then blend it so that it fitted perfectly, then use some effects to make the image more original and so forth. We had to work in pair's because at that time, half of the MacBook's were having Ps re-installed onto them.
I worked with Jackson, I was new to photoshop, so I had to improvise most of the time, our final piece can definitely be described as one of a kind, or the "odd one out". I have added the photo to this post so you can see why...
