Album Cover Generator

So this week chief Pete has set us a job to create an album cover from a random generator. The following steps are whats needed to follow:

1. Get a band name:Use the title of a randomly-generated Wikipedia article. You HAVE to use the title of the page you land upon!
2. Get an album title: Use the last four or five words from the last quote on this page of random quotations.
3. Get your image:Use the random images generator from Flickr's last seven days you HAVE to use the third image, whatever it is
4. Drop image and words into Photoshop:Adjust your band name and album title by changing the font, colour and size and maybe putting a bit of layer effect on. Resize your image so that it is the right size for the front of an album. If you want, you can turn colour into black and white, but you can’t add anything else to the image!
5. Upload it to one of the random generated CD cover sites Here is my outcome with proof to the project:

Step 1- After clicking on the link, it appears my band name will be Thomas Restout. He is a french painter, bit of an odd one but i think it will suffice.

Step 2 - I now need an album title, so after clicking on the randomly generated quotes page, it turns out the album is now called: Not Quite Clear To Him.

Step 3 - So after clicking the flickr page for the latest pictures in seven days I ended up with this for my album cover. I do like it, it is very adgy:

... and here is the proof to show that it was the third picture along that I chose:



Stage 4 - Now it is time to edit my album cover, putting all the pieces together to look authentic. It was indeed a very fun task. Due to not having photoshop at home I have decided to use an online resource called picmonkey, this is what my album looklike:

 I did find it quite fun to edit my album cover. It was amusing using the random generator to get an outcome, too which i am satisfied. The tools were easy to use and it is quite a cool picture to use. Now we understand how to make an album cover for our actual song, which I hope will come out as well as this one.

Where we are at

Currently we have started to film a few shots for our music video. I convinved my brother to lip sync in our song so we have practiced the shots but will need to get them in final however we will post a snipit of what we have. Moreover sussed out our filming location and gotten a main character to record. Now what is essential is to get all the footage before christmas and ready to edit.

Maroon 5 - One More Night

Below is a video Maroon 5' song One more night. In this video there are several boxing/fighting scenes which uses a variety of angles and slow motion similar to what we want within our music video. It is useful source for inspiration if needed when filming, with a variety of techniques used to emphasise the emotion and lead up to the fight. Moreover showing a contradiction between the fight and his family life. It is a great source to look back to when filming as we could re-create a few shots also.
