An idea that i want to use for our Digipak cover is this use of front and back, where on one side of the cover there is the front of a person or object.

Then on the back of the digipak is the back of the person or object, my idea for this approach to the digipak was inspired by the self titled album "she wants revenge" who have also incorporated this method.

Ideas for additional items

We have decided to make additional items for our digipak, items that wold appeal to fans such as pictures, posters and signatures. The reason we have decided to do this is because we feel we cannot express all of our creative ideas in just the digipak and advert so are using these additional fan items so that we have more room for  ingenuity and creativity. 

My idea for the additional items is to create a small booklet that has information on each of the characters, such as who played them, ideas we had for their costume, a brief synopsis of the characters story and a a Polaroid picture of them.

Final Filming

This is weekend we did the final shoot for our music video where we were shooting shots for cut away and the final band shots, fortunately the weather was good and similar to our other shoots so the cutaway shots keep the continuity, the band shots we did were at the ford in Tealby, the reason we picked this location is because we thought it was quite unique and made good use of our local environment..

Filming of prostitute scene

Yesterday we did the last of the filming which was the prostitute scene. the shoot took around 40 minutes, which was good as it was rather cold and i was wearing a dress. The location we used was an alley way in Market Rasen the reason we used an alley was because people stereotype prostitutes with dingy, secluded urban environments.

The costume we had designed for the prostitute consisted of a low cut dress, tights and accessories we felt that this was a a good stereotypical look for a prostitute and we were trying to make it as evident as possible so that the audience would realize that i am a prostitute.    

Album Artwork

For our Digipack cover we want something unique and different so that it stands out and looks cool. 

One idea for a Digipak who be to give it a cartoon or hand drawn look to it. such as Mewgatz's "love songs and car boot elctronica"  

Another idea that i like, for our digipak cover is to have the picture/image that is in black and white like Clint Listing's cover for "my father,my Keeper"



Another idea i really like is for the front cover of the digipack, is to have a split screen still of all the characters that we have in our music video. Then on the inside have individual shots of some of the characters.

News reporter mustache

For our news reporter scene i was in charge of putting together my costume so i decided to wear a white long sleeve shirt a black tie and a black jacket, i also decided that the news reporter should have a mustache so we tried a selection of fake mustaches to see which one looked the best.





 

Filming 18/09/10

This weekend we stated filming the outdoor shots as we had checked the weather forecast which told us that Saturday was going to be sunny and Sunday would be a mixture of cloudy and sunny. we were all going to meet at my house in Tealby as that was where we were filming. Once the two Matt's had arrived we prepared all the equipment and Matt Sharpe got dressed into his "Gangster" costume.

Once we were all ready to go we went to where we were filming, which was the path behind my house and began shooting.

The shots we we filmed were the ones with both the main character and the gangster in them, this took up most of the day and took several takes for each shot, once we had finished filming the main character and Gangster scene we went inside as it began to rain.
