Editing: Video and Ancillary Tasks

For editing the photos from the band filming evening, I have used 'Windows Photo Gallery Editing Software' as this is the program I normally use for my photo editing and even though it is not as techinical as 'Photoshop' I know how to work this prgram and I know that good result can come from using this. I realise with some photos I will have to use more advanced software such as 'Photoshop' to improve the quality of the photos but for the initial editing I have opted for this software.

I wanted to make most of the pictures I took look more 'indie' in terms of style and set more of a mood so the black and white wash on most of these pictures were used for this reason. Ajusting the exposure and contrast makes the image stand out due to a better quality however it's the changes in tint and saturation that gives the black and white wash needed.

Digipak and Magazine Advert Images

Research into Digipak and Mag Ad Images

This is the album cover that I analysed for my magazine article too. This means that this image and font is used in their Digipak and Magazine article which is a possible option for myself. I like the colours used in the image and the image itself portrays the indie/rock genre.

This album cover is one of 'This Modern Life's main influences Bruce Springsteen. I have been looking at this image for inspriration as I would like to copy the colour use and the similar font use as I believe it would work for their album artwork also. This is very moody and atmospheric and the style I would like to use for both Magazine article and Digipak.

I have used this album artwork from One Night Only's album 'Started a Fire' as I like the contrast in the image and how it presents the band to be quite rocky. Even though this is in colour it is dark and is also atmospheric. This is something I want to portray when I am constructing both Digipak and Magazine article for 'This Modern Life'
