Filming update !!

We recorded some filming in our school band room because it was the closest we could get to a studio and we are happy with what we shot in there. Now we have had another idea instead of filming in just one location like our original idea we are deciding to record in different locations as it will make the video just a bit more interesting with different locations instead of the idle location.

We have also come up with the idea of just me singing through a microphone as it would seem to give a live feel to the video instead of singing and playing the guitar.

Resources for our Video

For our video we wanted to set it on a stage mainly so the idea was i would be playing and singing and then Katie would walk round and see me and eventually lead into us dancing at the end of the video. So we had used our school hall stage for this, me and Kayne also thought that there should be a couple of shots of just me singing and playing guitar so we shot inside or schools band room as it was the closest place we could get to a studio without being disturbed. We got the shots needed for me singing and playing guitar, and now are think of whether we should just shoot with me just singing.

We used only a props through out the duration of filming like the acoustic guitar is the key prop through out the video ( this is why we are discussing me just singing without the guitar)
If we were to shot me just sining we would also need a microphone.

In the case of actors there is just me and Katie as we are the only ones that will feature in the video.

Digipak- What is it ?

A digipak is in simple words a CD case but with more to it making it in a way a special edition to the regular CD.
The digipak normally includes the CD and the booklet but some others include a special disc which includes bonus material like a DVD of the band/artist making the music, their promo video for the album for example Bullet for my Valentine's Scream Aim Fire Video was included with the Scream Aim Fire digipak.















Also with digipak's they include unreleased songs that were not included with final release of the album,  for example again referring to the Scream Aim Fire album Ashes of the Innocent was not released on the final album but was released on the digipak.
