4th Draft: Digipak



























Improvements:
  • I changed the colour of the rectangles on the front cover more a green colour like the leaves on the roses.

3rd Draft : Digipak












Improvements:
  • Change colour of spine black to blue.
  • Text on the spine.
  • I felt that the front cover was stretched therefore I narrowed it and added rectangles at the sides which has now created full continuity throughout with all images except the back having rectangle shapes.
  •  From recent research and my own knowledge ,some artist's put personal notes and messages in the digipak to family, friends, co-workers and fans therefore to make my digipak unique I had an idea that to put an inspirational music quote which gives my artist more of an outspoken voice on music and is a quote for the fans to be inspired. I have put this quote on the CD as I felt it looked too plain compared to the rest of the CD.  I searched on www.google.com these quotes and I thought that this was a suitable one for my artist  and the image that I am portraying

"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything"

FILMING DAY 4- 8/01/14

The fourth filming day is my last filming day I filmed at lunch time for a few minutes and at night time for a few minutes, I had to film at these specific time of the day as I needed to film the sun, sky and moon, and I was very successful with the outcome. Also I needed to film a static television which was straight forward and took a few minutes also on this filming day the shots what took the most time was filming the months, January to December.

FILMING DAY 3- 7/01/14

The third day of filming was at college during a lunch time 12:40-1:40pm at college as I wanted to use the green room, however, I wasn't using the green screen I wanted to use the plain white wall as the background. Also in the green room has lighting equipment which I desired to use. This shooting was mainly for the chorus as that's the shots that I need. We didn't have the same preparation as 1st and 2nd filming day as the chorus is where I am bringing the full performance element and is not following the narrative therefore that's why I chose a different location and the 50's style wasn't used.

Shannon had a nice flowery bra on and she was confident for me
to film her in just her bra.
Shannon had her hair cut into a bob this happened just at the right time
as her short hair defines the boundary between the performance and
narrative. Narrative (character) = long  Performance (Artist) = Short

Same routine I went through with my cast member the lyrics basically highlighting the lyric synchronisation, so my cast member looked like a confident artist in the music video. Also I went through the shots of what I wanted her to perform. Then going through what I wanted her to do on the specific shot again against the white wall.

Taken Shots (Chorus Shots): 26,27,28,43,44,45,52,53,54






                                                                      Green Room



Also on this day after college at the location of my home I filmed the static television, calendar , sky and moon shots therefore I did not need my actress through this process.
Taken Shots: 1,13,23,32,40,48,56 - I added all months to show her husband had been working away for the year therefore more calendar shots were taken.
