Front cover of my digipack design...

When beginning to create my digipak I started by creating the design for the front cover, I wanted the connotation of the group having an 'out of control' attitude. Which made me think of the idea of crime scene tape and a dark colour scheme. I also wanted the images to all be black and white on the front cover as I felt that if there was too much colour, it wouldn't match and have the main three colour scheme: red, black and yellow. 

These are a few of the screen shots of the process of creating the front cover design of the digipak. The main two things in which I wanted to make sure was shown in the front cover was the logo of the girl group and an image of each member of the band to show who is in the band.

One of the decisions in which I found quite hard to decide from was where I would position the album title, as I wanted it to be in red text, however I couldn't decide whether to have it on a white or black background.

Or, having it on the bottom of design, leaving the top of the cover to be dominated by the 'Studded Roses' logo. I took screen shots of both ways and felt that adding it to the bottom of the digipak cover worked better.

This image below is my final front cover design for the digipak as I felt that it connoted the bands ideology for this album. 

Green Screen set up

Once we had shot the final scene with the green screen with the crime boards. Now that this had been completed we were ready to edit, create digipaks and the posters. 

Making the crime boards

In todays lesson Me and Amy started making the crime boards for filming on thursday with the green screen, we started by using Photoshop to make the design that would be on the board. Then we stuck the print outs to a card/foam board so that the crime boards were thicker and would look more realistic in the music video.

Last day of filming...

Thursday 15th December...

Period 3 and 4: Green screen scene

This scene is planned to be filmed on Thursday for the final filming of the crime board scene with each member of the group holding police department crime boards to show the final conclusion to the music video. This conclusion shows how the women has been caught after the kidnap of the boy... I decided that I wanted to take images of the girls holding the boards as well as filming it so that when it came to editing we could make it edgy and the shots able to change quickly to the beat.

Photo shoot Photographs for digipak

We decided to also do the photo shoot of the group on Friday 9th December. The location in which we took the photos in was the gallery as the walls were plan white for the background so that it would be easy to edit, and then the lighting was much better than the other locations in which we thought of. 

These were some of the images taken of the group together:

Filming Journal: 9th December 2011

Tonight, we decided to film the car park scene which involved all four band members, as it would be used as the chorus of the song. In this scene we wanted to see the way in which the band changed in each chorus as they would go in order of:
1.introduction to group
2. group looking confident - causing crime
3. looking scared - running away
4. caught with crime boards.

We then decided in the car park to also film my rapping scene again as the lighting was too dark in the other locations in which we had taken already. We filmed each piece more than once with different angles and close ups so that there was a variety when it came to editing.

Group Plans

When working as a group of four, we decided that we would split up into pairs to edit, however film all the same footage together. Then after creating these two edits, we would then have a choice of two to then submit as a final music video.
