We've now edited about 2 minutes and 40 seconds of the video. I think we've successfully used most of the locations we were planning on using, although at the same time we cut out some locations thinking they weren't really fitting with the rest of the video.
However, as we are planning on shooting some more footage again, it looks like we might be playing around with what we've done so far later on, to accomodate the extra footage.
Regarding the digipak, I have been playing around with the images to try and get the final result that we all want. Since we want a warm image, I've added a red sort of hue, and made the background darker while trying to keep Emily light. Hopefully I'll be done soon, and will post them up here.
Also, we were wondering whether it would be best to leave the side with the CD blank/black/a colour that fits with the autumn theme, or actually have a picture behind it. At the end of the disccusion, we decided that a simple picture would be best, and it also had to fit in with the other sides. In the end we chose something that we had actually taken while joking around while filming, but we thought would fit nicely.
We actually already changed the original picture here on Ulead together, by simply adding a light red filter on it and making the lighting softer while we made the focus harsher, so the sunlight on the middle of the leaves almost seems like it's glowing. We considered blurring the picture, but then our eyes hurt to even look at it, so we left it at this. The result is what we hoped for: a warm feel to it, but the edges are fading into black, hopefully giving a sense of darkness out of the picture that the viewer can't see.
