Pictures from the photoshoot and to confirm that we filmed

We took this picture for our digipack as we thought it was a nice background image and the location would link with our music video as this is where some of the scenes are set. The reason we could'nt  use this picture is because the two female members of the band look more dominant over the male member of the band and he is meant to be the main member.

This shot is a better formation as it shows the male member of the band is the main person in the band. The downside of the image is the framing and the mise en scene as there is cars and a lampost in the background ruining the image.

This picture is slightly better than the one above as it shows the order of importance in the band. Once again the shot is unusable as the framing could be better and there is people, cars etc in the shot.

Evidence of creating the Digi-packs

Digi-pack/CD front cover ideas

This was my idea for a front cover. I designed it like this as I thought it would be nice to show the band on the front cover. However I don't think it fits the genre very well and is not very eye catching. This is why for our final draft we are thinking of doing something more animated. 

This is my first draft of the digi-pack/CD cover. We wanted it animated as we were inspired by Noah and the Whales album covers. I personally did not like the background as I thought it was too plain and did not suit the genre.

This is our first draft of the front cover of the digi-pack that we created as a group. We worked off of Callum's original design and added the bright colourful shapes to the background to make it more eye catching to the audience. Callum personally does not like the design as he feels some of the colours clash and did not fit the Indie-Pop image. However, Georgie and Gemma both loved the front cover and decided this should be a possible design.

Evidence of editing

Camera shots that we have used.

These are just some of the shots that we have used in our music video. We used some of these as it fits into the conventions of a music video but some shots also break convention.

My design for the cd digipack cover

My first design for the CD digipack cover

The first design that I decided on drawing was having the name o the band in the top left hand corner. The image would be taken on a sunny day as that reflects our band. I would also have it set in a wooded area as this is different and is what indie bands are about.

I would like the image to focus on three tress and each band member would hide behind each tree. They would each poke their heads around the side of the tree as this would look fun. I chose to do my design like this as I felt it was different and having looked at other Indie bands cd covers I realised that this type of shot had not been done before.

It would also look very vintage and have vintage old style looking colours. This would then stick to the conventions of Indie bands as this is what they also do, such as The Arctic Monkeys and Noah and the Whale.
