Website

My group and I have generated a website using wix.com. It has a variety of templates available, the one we chose specifically focuses on our Artist and her work. Our host address is as follow. We had planned to use a close up image of the Artist, though of her looking away, so it gives off a natural vibe. We had also planned to add a little comment box at the extreme end of the website for the comments.

Post Production

Today we began a main task of our Music Promotional Package, positioning our clips in order in Adobe Premiere Pro CC. My group members and I had begun the work in school and continued it on skype.

Shoot Day 4

Today is the last day of our shoot. We've taken extra clips of our actress lip syncing just in case we're short of good content filling in remaining seconds of our song. We also had to display a raining effect on our subject, we could've easily done it through Adobe After Effects but we generated synthetic rain in our school garden through a pipe. We also operated a Go Pro to capture a birds eye view of our actress.

Shoot Day 3

Shoot so far has been going great, we've been able to get beautiful shots. We followed the same settings of the camera because it was again a sunny day. Sha Allah Ditta was an under developed place, and this gave off a favourable less fabricated, synthetic vibe.

Shoot Day 2

We videotaped our second shoot at Rawal Dam but there was no clean water there, we could not take the shots as we had planned in our storyboard, so we had to make slight changes. We shot rest of the scenes as sketched and have planned a few more shots for her lip syncing.

As there was a lot of natural light available, we used 30 and 18 to 140 mm lens with the camera settings at ISO 200 and f 1.8.

Shoot Day 1

After checking the weather forecast again and again and waiting for a sunny day, we had planned the first day of our shoot at F-9 park today at the 16th Feb 2017. The story board and the notes that we had written, made our tasks a lot easier. Today's shoot involved the child's scenes too, it was a very sensitive task but we all managed to handle it. Since, it was a sunny morning, we set our camera at IOS 100 with f 1.8.Also, we used a 30 mm lens.

Unfortunately, a few of the shots couldn't be shot, so we've left them for another day.

Location

One of our group member is going out of town and before she goes we wanted to finalise the location. We shortlisted four different locations that make it easier for the audience to understand the meaning behind "Runaway". We believed that disclosing many locations shows how our 'subject' is lost, you'll have to dig as deep as our "lost girl" to understand her story.
Few shots of our location:

Byzantium Records

We held a group meeting today specially for the purpose of concluding record label name. After thinking over it for a couple of minutes, it popped into our heads, a person once said, philosophy won't help us with media anywhere, and there we had something, something as adequate as to describe us and prove him wrong beautifully; Byzantium: A lost island.
