Keeping up to date

So for the last few days I've been really struggling because We've had to adapt our magazine advert entirely and we've realy struggled to come up with new ideas that we both like. Finally we've banded together and come up with an idea that we think will work really well. However, this will require planning and a lot of very fast editing, picture taking etc. I think we are both ready to get our magazine advert done and dusted so we can get properly started with our evaluation and the completion of our film. So when we go and film and revise new shots next week, (in the process of organising this) we've also decided to take a few pictures to be in our magazine advert. For our new advert we only need one picture, but we need to take a few to ensure that we get the correct picture.

Firstly, our old idea. Originally we wanted this picture:

Then we were going to have 'we intertwined - the album' and then 'the hush sound written below it. These were going to be placed dead centre, directly in between Amber and Max. However we realised that this is a horizontal picture and would require a double page spread. We didn't like this idea as much because most audience members don't find double page spreads very interesting to look at. Also, the picture isn't high res enough and when we began to edit the colour we found that the picture began to go blurry the further and further we got with editing.

Our second and final idea is a picture of Max and Amber standing either side of a tree looking at the camera. We would take this photo when it's sunset and try and get the silouhette of the tree reflected on the ground. When it came around to editing the photo we would either have the writing inside the tree or below the tree. We want to try and fit in with as many natural and neutral colours and themes as we can, so that this ties in with our video and our digi-pak. 

We'll be taking these pictures next week at the same time as our filming. We're trying to organise this either for monday or for thursday depending on when Max and Amber can do. We also need to stay fairly late and on a day that is sunny so that the silouhette is shown properly and so that the sky looks pretty! We need to get on organising this asap. Meanwhile, in lessons we have been carrying on with editing and colour saturation etc. The video is really coming along and is nearing completion!
