Ancillary tasks
Corrine Bailey Rae gave me inspiration into my design for my CD cover, her genre of music is the same as our artist. In Corrine's album cover she uses the same colours as we have, these are earthy colours, she also used a picture of what looks like a woods, with tree's and leaves. We have also used this in our CD cover. The font is not the same as ours, but the colour of the font is, with the our artist name in bigger font than the album cover, this is because we want to sell our artist through her own name and brading, as Corrine Bailey Rae does too. 
There is not industry information on the front of her CD cover, we have chosen to use this idea as well, as we want the artist to sell herself and not the record company. We will include the record company and other industry information on the back of the album, this is where you would normally find this information on other Cd's. The layout of the CD is kind of the same to our CD cover, as if focuses on the artist and not anything else. We have used a image of our artist walking towards the camera, which i think will draw the audiences attention because the artist is focusing on the audience. The name of this album is 'The Sea' which is quite controversial as there is not correspondence to the sea or anything that is normally associated with the sea. I thought at first glance that she looked like a mermaid, but then i looked closer and it looks like she is supposed to be an angel of some sort, i dont some research into this album and found out it was released because of her loosing her husband 'Jason Rae'. Her looking like an angel in the photo could be that she wants to go and see her husband in heaven, or she is trying to contact him through her music.
Editing
Day 1: This day we uploaded all of our footage to the mac's. We started taking out bits from our footage that we wanted to upload for our music video. We then positioned them in what we wanted our music video to look like, with our opening shot of our artist 'Lily Norman' walking towards the camera.
Day 2: From taking bits out of our footage, we then tweaked them so they would fit in, with shots not being longer than 4 seconds as this would not catch the audiences attention. We uploaded our music to our footage and fitted in shots and transitions where the beat is. We also used fast cut montage to catch the audiences attention, and make the music video more interesting.
Day 3: From our footage, we had shots of our artist lip syncing, we edited it so she was miming at the same time as the music. This was a bit tricky, but when we filmed her lip syncing she sang out loud so it made it easier matching it to the music. We added transitions and clip effects to make it look like a music video. We used soft transitions as it went with the genre of music.
Day 4: We added the rest of our footage with some still pictures. We then added more transitions and more lip syncing.
Day 5: This was our final day of editing, we had a bit of trouble as we wanted to add more transitions in to make the shots more softer to go with the genre of music, but when we were doing this we had to take out delete some of our shots so that our lip syncing was not affected, we added more transitions and editing effects, like jump cutting, fst cut montage and colourisation, on one of our clips our artist is walking through the woods, and we jump cutted the shot on the beat and added over exposure, this gave the shot a good effect and looked like it was from a real music video.
