Filming yesterday

The filming yesterday was successful. we focused and taking extreme close up shots of the lead singers mouth to really emphasise the lip synching. We carry on taking shots of the lead singer from different angles in order to show that effect. A lot of lightning was also used to emphasise the role and importance of the lead singer.

Creating the Digipak Back cover- Using Photoshop!!

We started off by opening a new photoshop file 500x500 and pained it black by using the Paint bucket tool.

 The next step was to add the text to the album back cover. We selected the text tool then went into the drop down menu as you can see bellow and selected olde English.

 We then added the track listings.

In order to make it seem like a legitimate album that could be bought in stores it needed to have a bar code. I searched up a bar code on google and then opened it up on photoshop. We dragged the photo straight onto my album back.

We realized that i had a problem with the bar code, and that was that it was way too small. So we selected the layer with the bar code then went into Edit > free transformation, which allowed us to move around the bar code. 

Bellow stetted out bar code.

Rough Sketch/Explanation of location and key points to note Access to location via: Student pass card Name and number of location contact: Robert clack school (Upper site) - 020 8270 4200 ‎

Health and Safety Issues to note: There has to be a teacher present in the drama room.  We cant tamper with any of the equipment as we could harm ourselves due to the high electric currents.

Potential Filming Problems : Not having the media room available to us. Not using the instruments due to other people using it. Time.

Additional Notes:  (map of area/weather forecast etc) Gosfield Rd Dagenham Essex  RM8 1JU Since we are filming mostly inside the school, the weather forecast would not be a problem for us.

A few changes to the music video

Fortunately for the group we came across an year 11 student that could actually play the drums and so therefore as a result of this, we decided to replace him as the drummer of our band instead of Simon and also included another member to the band making him the 2nd base guitarist. Any change we made was also adding spotlights to the music video as the original shots appeared to be slightly dark, but however the spotlights used generally made the music video look more effective and realistic.

Another day of filming

As a group what we want to achieve today is the filming of the band members and getting individual shots of each band member to make it seem like an introduction introducing each band member. Once again, we asked for permission to use the instruments and to make use of the lightning in the drama room which could have a great effect on our video due to its genre being 'Indie'.

The inside of the Album

The inside theme and design of our album shows a huge contrast to the black and white theme of our front cover. This theme transformation was intentional simply to create an excitement as well as a powerful introduction to our album. We stuck to the main idea of creating a bible themed idea which is why the front cover is dark and in black and white just like the bible and the inside of the digipak is bright which represents the enlightment that christian feel when they open up their bible and so therefore, our audience will also be feeling thesame enlightment as they open up our fantastic album. Unfortunately, the original image of the Digipak had lots of things going on in the picture and it was originally supposed to be the front cover of the album but we couldnt make the title of our album work with it despite the fact that we repeatedly used different methods but there was still no success and so as a result, we decided to use the cover as the inside and not the outside of the Digipack.

Another Filmimg Day

Today was a very successful filming day and we accomplished a lot more than we expected. All the band members were present, the equipment were available for use and there was no disruptions.

The final piece- Digipak front Cover

The reason for using the colour scheme is because it matches with the black and white dress code of the  band members in the music video  . we also considered the fact that it would make more sense if we had white writing on a black background simply because it will stand out a lot more unlike if the background was white and then we made the writing white. The fact that the theme of this digipak cover is in black and white has been done intentionally because we are aiming for the religious theme and so therefore, those two colours seemed very calm and suitable for that type.
