Digipak Design:

Album Cover

For the front cover I used an image that was taken at God's own junkyard because I liked the stylistic elements and the positioning. However, the image had a lot of red and pink tones within it so I added a faint purple overlay so that it would link well with the other images. In addition to this I used the font that we had decided upon after previously holding polls earlier on in the project and I layered it up using outline and solid versions to create depth to the text. As well as having the title off the album 'Jeunesse' in a different font and colour in front of the artist name to draw the audiences attention to both the title and the artist name at the same time.

For the track list I had to come up with 9 song titles and then include the title of the song that we made the music video for. The songs I chose are words that I think would link well to the artist and the types of music she would produce. I decided to use a photograph that I had taken from one of the shoots at Southbank for the background of the track list since it worked well and will link the album with the music video but with this I also had to include a purple hue to make it blend in with the other images in the digipak

As for the disc, I decided to take a more relaxed, simplistic approach with the disc because all the other images were quite bold, therefore I didn't want it to be too overpowering so I just used and image with a purple design on it and added the artist logo as well as the song title.

first draft

First Digipak Draft:

Digipak Draft

The first draft of my digipak is successful in elements but there are also a lot of improvements that need to be made. Overall it follows the majority of the conventions of a digipak. The layout is correct and it includes three key images, two discs and a track list. However, there is issues with the over all look as the colours vary and clash too much.

In terms of the track list, I have included the right amount of songs, the bar code and record label. However, I still need to input the copyright detail and have the artist name and song title going up the side. As for the cover, I am happy with the image that I have chosen but the font needs to be altered slightly so it is clearer and I need to include the title.

The disc is the element that I am least happy with because it doesn't look very professional, initially I thought it would be a good idea to use an image that we had taken but now I think to improve upon this I am going to change the image all together and opt for something more simplistic and less tacky.

White screen shoot:

Today we completed a shoot in front of the white-screen. Initially a lot of these shots had been covered at God's own Junkyard. However, the footage didn't sync up well with the song and it was too difficult to re-shoot at this location so we decided it would be more practical to shoot infant of the white screen, that way we'd get some crisp footage that would be able to fill in the gaps remaining.

Arcade re-shoot:

We have already completed a shoot within the arcade. However, when re-watching the footage some of it was blurry or too dark and we also needed some more lip-syncing shots. We used our phones instead of the DSLR's because the quality came out a lot better and it provided footage that we was able to use within the video

Digipak Shoot:

These are some of the most successful shots captured at gods own junkyard which will be used within the digipak.

Filming 20/01/18

Today we filmed at God's Own Junkyard in East London for our music video. However, we were not permitted to use the DSLR even despite emailing to ask for permission. so we filmed on our phone and took photos for the digipak. The footage was relatively successful and  we managed to film Kelly lip syncing some of the lyrics to the song as well as some more location shots. The visual shots were the most successful since they fit the genre of the music video perfectly, these shots will be used throughout the music video as it heavily relies on the locations/visuals rather than Raina.

The images for our digipak were the most successful and we captured a variety of shots that focus on our artist as well as including the visuals from the location such as the neon signs, disco balls and coloured lighting. Some of these will be used for the digipak and poster as they are well framed and will represent our artist perfectly.
