Update on progress

Due to technical issues with my laptop, the programs and files, I have been unable to finish my video on time but here is some of my progress so far to show I am working on it.
Woman in black shot:
Sorting out the bones and effected areas on the character, I had some difficulty with this as it would bend the background as well but by entering the settings and making it sure you couldnt render the background I managed to fix it:

Rendering the video, this took a few attempts as it wouldn't include the background:

Woman in Black shot:

Flower falling shot:
Lines show the path of the petals and I used the rotate tool to help give the petals a more realistic look.

Shot:

Walking shot:

This shot was difficult because I hand issues with the lantern and then having to go back onto the photoshop file and connect the feet and legs together or I couldnt render them properly.

There are some framing issues with these shots but Im working on it and I tried to upload it but it was showing up with an error.

 Due to file errors Im having to rework n sort things out but here is a preview of my work until I can add more but I have already explained this to Becky.

Poster - Draft 1, version 1 & 2

Unsure which version I prefer yet so I chose to upload both to show a variation  between them

First CD draft

Update on the progression of the CD case

Levi Strauss Theory - Binary Opposites

Levi Strauss's theory was of the contrast of binary opposites for example Good vs Evil, Antagonist vs Protagonist. We don't just understand words purely on meaning but also on reflecting the opposite hence it being binary. Strauss uses this theory to link heavily with how we perceive the world. The understanding of the idea of a villain depends entirely on our understanding of the world as one member of the audience may perceive 'evil' differently to another person. The theory enables the audience to have an understanding of the narrative before it even begins and having opposites within the media allows for a climax and equilibrium to make it more interesting to the audience.
Although I don't have a set character for the role of villain or hero, this theory also still applies to my work with the idea of life and death, with life being the positive and death being the negative role and the video follows the idea of the battle between the two forces.

CD developement

For my CD the original idea was to just use the characters created for the music video itself but when I started experimenting with compositions of the characters on the CD case I wasn't sure about how it looked, I didn't think they suited being on the front cover even after coming up with a new design image featuring the lantern used in the video (This image was created by drawing it onto paper first and then scanning the image in and using a graphics tablet to enable me to draw it digitally to create a smoother and clear finish to the image).

First initial ideas: 

Looking into the fonts I decided that a script font would suit the album more, as with the song being acoustic it has connotations of it being more personal and emotional to the audience. Along with this, the lyrics are written as if they are talking to their lover so with script font it looks like its Handwritten and almost written like a letter to their lover.

Examples of possible fonts:

I started a new possible idea for the album which including using a drawing of a candle on the front with the text 'I will follow you into the dark' and when the album is opened There is a drawing of the candle being blown out to match the idea of the text in the front. I still plan to include the characters in the album in some way but I want the main focus to be on the candle, which is being drawn to match the idea of the video being animation.
Start of drawing of the candle using a tablet to allow for finer detail:
