Wix Editing

Today in class I redesigned features of my website to go for a more minimalist style.

PRINT SCREENS AND LINK TO BE ADDED!

Wix Going Live

My band website it now live and available for the public to view, although the sit is not completely finished and still has features that need to be changed it is necessary for my progress to be analysed.
So here it is,

Music Video So Far

Still have editing and the green screen to complete.

Logo

I have been struggling to find a logo that I'm happy with representing the song and band after initially wanting to use the Greek delta symbol (uppercase), as the group name, Alt-J, when used on a mac creates the delta symbol. However the actual band use this symbol as their logo. After trying different logos and even trying the lowercase delta symbol.
However after talking things through with my teacher it turns our that I an in fact use the same logo as the official group. Yay.

wave sound.

I have found and downloaded an ocean wave sound for the end of my music video which ties the video up nicely and also links well with the theme of the song.

Using Chroma Key

To insert the images and footage into the photo frame I had to use chroma key on final cut express. this was a simple process where I just adjusted the colour control, saturation and luma strip. Each image had to be adjusted individually, as they had a slightly different colour balance. The process did take a while but it was easy to apply and looks really good. 

I also had to play around with the opacity feature to bring in and out clips of the couple. 

Editing My Website

So far with my website I have put in a background that appears on all the pages, I have made the pages that I would like to include; home, news, band bio, music video, lyrics store, gallery, contact, soundcloud and social network links. I have not edited all of these pages yet, though most have been changed in some way.

I am currently unable to link the website as I have not published it making it live, the main reason for this is because it is unfinished. instead here are some screen shots of the site.
