WEBSITE BUILDER I have decided to use Wix for my website builder due tot he fact that I prefer their design of websites over Weebly. While building the site, I found that the editor was incredibly user friendly, although sometimes too much so as there were a number of creative restrictions that this brought. These restrictions, however, I found were much more prominent when testing out Weebly.

WEB PAGE MAP Below I have drawn out a map of Gregory Alan Isakov's website.

FINAL EDIT Below you will find the final render of the music video which I have uploaded as a YouTube video due to problems with the video being too big to upload on the blog. Final Edit NEA MEDIA Music Video

RE-SHOOTS AND ADDITIONS When editing the majority of my re-shoots were done during the sections of the video when the protagonist is at home. This was quite lucky, as you can imagine. The main reason for many of the re-shoots are simply due to not being very happy with the result, whether that be because of the camera angle, lighting, or because I forgot to focus the camera before recording... Which happened more times than I care to mention In the video above is the original video I used for one of the shots in which the protagonist simply sits at their desk.

Even so, Scout thought it would be better if he just stood up looking out the window, a...

The colour pallet used is simple, soft and fairly bright, and gives way for the other colours of the album covers shown, while matching the style of the album covers and other photographs. There is little text, only really showing near the top of each section and on buttons that lead you further through the web page. The font of the text is consistent and distinct. There are also further links at the top of the website which are always visible wherever on the site you are, that lead to social media links as well as the areas of the website. The simplicity of the website makes it easier to navigate through and understand, while providing everything that is needed clearly. The second webs...

ROUGH EDIT Below you will find the first rough edit made for the music video. This version has one or two missing pieces of video as they are shots I had planned to redo. There is also no alterations made to the visuals, including the colour and animations that will soon be completed and played on top.

ORIGINAL IMAGES Here are some of the photographs that may be used on the website for the future.
