Effects

Whilst researching into other music videos we came across a few ideas which we liked:

Pictures of Filming

We took some pictures whilst filming :

Digipak Planning

Lifehouse's Digipak

Before we start to think and create are own Digipak for the track 'Halfway Gone' we had to create a plan. This picture is of Justin Timberlakes album. 'Justifed'. The Cd and case are very similar. The case has the same colours and theme. Obviously without this attribute the digipak wouldn't work.

Researching into digipaks, I have realised that the CD's themselves are very basic and not very creative. The case itself normally has the same theme throughout. I believe that the best way to establish if the CD and case work well together, is to pick a handful of random CDs and take the CD's out and ask someone which CD goes in which case.

Screen Grabs

The screen grab from above is from the scene of when the woman stands up her date to find the man she loves. The reason I screen grabbed this is because we filmed this many times, to try and get the emotion correct.

Above is the scene where in which the man leaves his lover. This is of course a crucial part of the video because we don't know wether they get back together or not.

Both of these screen grabs are from the 'fight'. This took hours too film because we wanted too get this spot on, and try and make it look real.

Filming 3

The third day of filming again took place in Millies house. We then filmed the argument scene again, to make sure we got every possible angle. We filmed in the evening. We also filmed him packing and leaving the house to move to his new house. We filmed the meal. Where the woman goes on a date with another man to try and forget about her lover. The time of filming was productive and we ended up getting a lot of footage to edit and play around with however we feel as a group that we need another day just too get everything wrapped up and make sure we have everything we need to finish the music video.

Copyright

Once we had come to the conclusion about which song we are going to use, we had to consider copyright. We had to make sure it was fine to use the song 'Halfway Gone' by Lifehouse, for are music video. We researched the producers of the group 'Lifehouse'. So on behalf of the group, Millie wrote an email to the producers of the band, to get permission for us to use the song. We are yet to hear back from them, so this means its full steam ahead with the filming.
