Here are some rough ideas for my CD album packaging;

Once I experimented I constructed ideas for my final front cover. I wanted to go for a childish look, expressing the naivety which is also in my music video. This is the final product:

To match the front cover, I also created a back cover of the CD booklet, Back cover of the Album and CD placing.

Forth stage of editing

This is a summary of editing and everything I have done to get the finished product, in my past account I listed things I needed to change, but this time I am going to list everything I did to finish up:

• Credits added - By credits, I mean Artist name and song title. I added this at the beginning of the video at the end, which introduces it and reminds the audience once it is finished. I decided to use a plain Ariel font for this, as I wanted the attention to be solely focused on what the credits are saying, not the emphatic font. I also wanted it to be easily read, so it could be quick and the attention could move onto the video itself.
• New shot for intro added – I added a close up of Phil’s hand into the introduction of the video, this allowed the whole series of clips to run better with the beat and it moved a lot quicker. The more shots which held suspense seeing Phil’s face added mystery to him too.
• Close up of Chloe removed - There was a close up of the girl sat next to Lisa in the bus stop, Chloe. I removed this as I wanted the camera to perceive that Phil’s attention was solely on Lisa, and the close up made it seem he was looking at Chloe too.
• All shots are emphatic to the beat – After going through the video several times, I ensured that all of the shots are emphatic to the beat. As I have mentioned several times now, this is my main aim and it makes the video a lot more consistent and professional.
• Hand held with Mother shortened – The clip where Phil is holding hands with his ‘Mother’, is now cut down and fits a lot better.
• Thought bubbles added – The rota scope thought bubbles have now been added and I am extremely pleased with these. I constructed them in Photoshop using a blank layer, and then layering them on top of my footage. I added footage of Lisa in the final bubble, this was done by filling the bubble with green and importing the clip in.

• Stop motion animation heart beats - At first, the clothes formation of a heart just flickered on the floor, but I carefully arranged the images so it appeared to be beating. This looks a lot better, and is more interesting as it adds life to the clip.
