ACDC - Back In Black Music Video Prep

Lyrics:
Back in black 
I hit the sack 

I've been too long I'm glad to be back Yes I'm, let loose From the noose That's kept me hanging about I keep looking at the sky 'Cause it's gettin' me high Forget the herse 'cause I'll never die I got nine lives Cat's eyes Usin' every one of them and running wild 
'Cause I'm back Yes, I'm back Well, I'm back Yes, I'm back Well, I'm back, back (Well) I'm back in black Yes, I'm back in black

Test Magazine Advert

For this task we had 10 minutes to shoot an image for our genre of music, we chose indie.
We edited this image in photoshop and burnt in the edges for a darker atmosphere. We added text such as the artist, album title, release date, review and shops that will sell the album on to the advert. We used the font 'Brushes' as it looked the best against the brick backdrop.

Before:

After:
If we had more time on this advert we would have thought more carefully about the image itself, and how we wanted it to look, this way we could plan what editing techniques we would apply to the image which would save us time as we wouldn't be experimenting on the day.

Photoshop Make up + Glowing Lines



We watched YouTube tutorials for adding make up to this image. We like the effect that it has and would contemplate using in our project.






We also watched a tutorial on the glowing lines. We found the tutorial useful however we do not like this effect as much, and won't be using it in our project.

Lip-syncing task

For this task we had to edit the video in time with the music to make sure all the clips were lip-syncing with the audio. We felt this task went well, and we produced good work.
