Creating a Smokey Effect

For my back album cover i decided that i wanted to have a smokey effect but wasn't sure how to make it, so i looked on the Internet and found a tutorial.

1. Use the Brush tool to draw over the background.

2. Once you have done that go to filter and click Liquify and use the Forward Warp Tool, Twirl Clockwise Tool and Pucker Tool to use on the doodle you have drawn. Then click OK

3. Go to the edit column and click fade liquify and move the opacity to 50%.

4. keep repeating step 2 and 3 until you are satisfied with the smokiness

What Have we been up to...

Since my last entry our filming has taken loads of tosses and turns and also we have changed what we are going to do with our film.

Where we decided that we would have different people rapping our song like So Solid do in "Broken Silence" we had to do something easier as we wanted to start filming this in December but due to the extreme weather conditions, our rappers didn't want to take part because of the cold.

So filming had to be postponed until we knew for definite that our rappers were available for filming. But when we came to start filming in January our actors had exams so it was impossible for us to film, so instead of having many people filming we had the one person which was myself rap the entire record.

So we began the entire film late in January as i really wanted to get the filming done, but where we rushed the filming it came out all dark and shaky. So the next day we recorded it again but this time in a studio with a green screen and when we came to look at it we could not agree on what we were going to put in the green screen, so the next day we recorded it again in the studio with lights and smoke machines and when it came to look at it, it was perfect.

Our Life....the problem

With the song we ran into a problem as the 2 artists on the record are unavaliable to record the song, but where i was one of the people that produced it i have rights to use the song for this and have decided that we will use this song to make our music video to. So because we are unable to get the artists we are going to be having different people mime the lyrics so it looks like everyone in the actual video is rapping along to the song. We took the insperation from a song by So Solid Crew called Broken Silence

The Locations we hope to be using...

In this image we hope to use this location as a kind of hang out for the characters to stand around looking shifty and dangerous.

We have thought a lot about what locations we are going to use and we have decided that we are going to use locations that are run down and shifty looking places, such as Elephant & Castle, Stockwell and Brixton.

This area is where we hope to get a line up of the characters and we will pan down the line of people.

We have already taken photos of the places we are hoping to use and the pictures have come out pretty well, and we are going to use some of these places that we have taken pictures of, we will also be using places in our 6th form.

This is a corner that we thought of using for another gang of people to look shifty.
