Throughout the whole of our production period, we have had to consider health and safety issues. In many cases we have had really good ideas that werent safe such as using our artists on the school roof to show a high shot to show his power  and in some cases have made scenes safe to use such as the river shots in our video. Firstly we have not filmed ny shots that would be of risk to anyone involved in the video and have only really used one shot in where we had to be safe. This was the river shot and here we had to make sure the stones were correctly placed in the water and wouldnt move to be entirely safe for filming.


We also had to take in consideration of normal filming shots like roads for cars etc so that our artists was safe at all times. The rooftop shot we wanted to do however was not safe for filming after we decided that firstly we wouldnt get permission and secondaly the risk was too high to take. This shows that we have took health and safety extremely seriously in our production work.

Here is my completed website in time for my deadline:

http://bradleystokes10.wix.com/ed-sheeran-webpage

All of the pages on my webiste are active links as I have completed not only the front page but the whole website as I wanted to create a more professional website and wanted to link all of the site together with both my video and my digipak. Please feel free to look around my site at my finished site.This is my overall completed ancillery task and I have now completed both ancillery tasks as well as my video with all being completed on time.

With the deadline coming up tomorrow, I decided to try and add anything extra to my website that would make it even better. For my video page, I had planned to upload my youtube video that as a group we had created. I did this by using the template already provided and changing the thumbnail and the link to the video I want rather thanthe templates. As the page was still really bare, I needed to add something extra and decided that I would research the lyrics of the song Grade 8 that we did and put these onto my video page. I found the lyrics and copied these onto my website either side of the video. This was perfect as it completed the page and looked good especially with the text being in Yellow to stick with the theme.



This was my website completed and just as I was about to finish I noticed that I could add a song over the top of my website. As I did the song grade 8 I decided to use this song over the top. I went on my itunes at home and uploaded the song from my itunes library onto the website. The music player symbol I also changed to be multi coloured to stick with the 'live' colours I used. As I viewed my completely finished website, I changed the playing of the song to repeat as if not the song would only play if you pressed play but now it plays as soon as you go onto the site. My website is now finished.

I went back through my website with most of it completed. I decided that I wanted to stick with the same colour scheme of my digipak which was red, yellow and blue. I started by looking at the text boxes and what ones I could fill and also changing the text colour of these. I changed the colour of the title to red from white. As I had no colour scheme, everything apart from my images were black or white so by adding colour it made the site more appealing. I then changed text to different colours of red, yellow and blue on all of my pages apart from my contact page as I wanted to keep this page simple. In some cases like the tour date pages, I coloured the writing in relation to the countries such as the writing for europe as blue as their flag is blue and red for the US. I filled the boxes in different colours however mostly kept them as black or white as I thought that it looked good. I only need to add in a few more photos and complete my video page and then I am basically done.

As I have started my other ancillery task my digipak, I realised I could use many parts of the digipak on my website. Firstly I started off by changing the website background. I used the same image on my digipak and didnt want to use the same one on my website. I went on photoshop and edited part of another photo and used this on my website. Here is that photo:

After changing my background photo, I could use my digipak front cover on my website to not only lnk the 2 together but promote the new album. I used this image on 2 different parts of the website firstly on the front page so that this was the main headline and also on the release page as it is the new release of his album. As I havent previously worked on my release page, I started working on this. I added 2 headings so that 1 was for the album release and the other was for the song itself Grade 8 release. I added some information on the release date and also came up with a good idea of includng the itunes download images so that it looked like you could download the music straight from the site itself. I was nearly done with my website however I needed to stick with my colour scheme of my digipak too.
