Task 11 - Print artefacts - Final Digipak

Task 11 - Album Cover photoshoot

 

We decided to use a photography studio to take photographs for the album cover. We wanted to use this so that we could use lighting that would make our cover look more professional. To create these we had to work out how much light we needed when it flashed from the two lights either side of her. We found that lighting worked best when she faced towards the soft box light which diffuses light more evenly and on a lower setting.

As the backdrop is blue we might edit these so that they are black and white, this will enable us to enhance the shadows when editing and it also looks a lot more elegant. I think that photographs often work better when they are simple.

Filming session 5

We thought that our music video still lacked miming shots so decided to film in a new location inside the girls house in her bedroom, here we filmed the singer miming and also filmed her writing lyrics to the song she is singing, like going back to when she started writing the song and singing it to herself. Many of our shots are outside so we thought it was appropriate to film actually in her home as this is the title of the song. We were originally going to associate 'Home' with a someone who she loved but we preferred the idea of associating 'Home' with her actual home and doing something she loves and is passionate about, singing and song writing,

We did face some issues with the lighting here and found that some shots turned out over exposed due the light being in front of the camera.

Acting Session 5

The last shots we filmed were at my house to get an atmosphere of being stuck. The shot taken were of me looking out of the window creating a solum atmosphere.
The other shots were of me writing out the lyrics with the guitar to show the progression and creation of the song to give it meaning for the audience to experience.
