Music Video Remake: The Saltwater Room

Finally Finished!

Sorry if the video quality isen't the best, hopefully it still gives a good effect.

After about two months of filming, our group has completed our Owl City music video! The theme is a calming love story between a couple who miss and want to be with each other while viewing memories. I think the final product came out amazing! Sadly, because of our "crunch time" our story board wasn't followed as much as we hoped it would have. Most of the scenes were used and filmed in the city, malls, several parks and school areas. The video editing remained simple because we wanted it to feel more natural.  My personal favourite part would have to be the blonde haired girl blowing out the candle. I feel it has a nice glow to it and matches the beat of the song. This project was difficult getting all the shots but it came out brilliant! Not bad for a first attempt at creating one!

Tips For Posters

This post, I will be critiquing three different posters of my choice and explaining my thoughts about them!

Recruitment Poster

This poster was created (originally) in the 1930-40's for the U.S. army. The goal of this poster was to persuade men to join the fight for WW2. 

The overall poster is great. It is straight to the point and the words are strong and bold. The red colour font choice is a good idea to show the company is serious and it means business. The words on the poster are not asking you to join the army, they are telling you to join the army, making it as if you need to do it. It is eye catching and simple so people will actually take a moment to read what it says. Honestly there are not any flaws to this poster I can think of. It is professional and straight to the point, perfect for war!

Movie Poster

This poster's colour is what caught my eye. It is vibrant and solid.  The colour pops with the black background which is a good poster skill. The actual gun in the poster is actually made of several smaller guns and weapons. Just by the design I think it may be a action/thriller. The design is simple and straight to the point. The font is metallic coloured and matches the word "mechanic". The two main actors names are displayed in big letters across the top, this is how most movie posters catch the publics attention, by advertising their favourite actors! I think its a good idea to keep a simple palette (small amount of different colours). This poster is fine, I see no major flaws and it looks professional.

Inspirational/Motivational Poster

This is a funny one, its not an actual inspirational poster but they are so simple to create that they have become internet memes! These posters are made with an image and a caption that would usually be a quote (actual posters). Once again a very simple design making it easy for people to copy. I love the style of these poster because the originals usually display images that will motivate you and will try to make you take the steps to your goals in life! Simple and loveable these posters flaws may just be a little more detail or designs.

CyberArts: Careers Assignment

A very VERY late assignment I completed at the beginning of second semester that was forgotten about! My first attempt at using Prezi and thought it was a really unique experience!

Music Video: Owl City Poster Design

For our final project we were assigned to create a music video and a poster to represent it. The band my group chose was Owl City, The Saltwater Room.  The song displays light and flowing emotions that make you feel as if your in a dream like state. I designed my poster to incorporate that feeling, to be neat and simplistic. I used the Adobe program Illustrator to make it. The first poster I designed was scrapped due to many different problems. The poster was too small, the design felt too simple and the overall finished project was choppy and not smooth. I am very impressed with my final image (more discription coming soon)
