Digipack and webpage potential images

Over the holidays when I finished work on a Sunday at 5pm.
For a family trip we went to this park.
When we got there it was full of flies, as this was the time
the sun was starting to say goodbye. However, my photo idea for the cover
digipack  and the background was to be taken in the bright sun,
but when looked at the effect that the files had in the almost sun set,
 it was perfect for the album cover.These are the following:

Costumes


                                           
















Costume was the most easy thing to choose, once we
had the song and the storyboard planed out. This was
simply because the video was aimed at teenager and
we also had teenager included in the make of the video.
So achieving what we wanted them to wear was not a problem
as they would wear this in their daily bases.
The whole idea of doing this, was that this would be personnal to the
audience. The characters in the video would wear:
Jeans or black leggins, simple top and trainers for
them to be able to move around.

Ex student Digipack analysis

This shows an ex student digipack, their
choice of song was from Green day.
Green day are a rock band, which by the
look of the digipack, had an influence
on the choice of colour. Looking at
these six pictures I can tell their main colours
are red, green, white and black. Although
they are very limited in colour, they also
opted for simple images, but very symbolic to
rock music,e.g. the rock neckless, guitar, and
close up images of human parts.

Overall looking at these images, I can see why they choose these images for the cover of the digipack.
Green day band are a rock band, which throughout their carrier of musians they have always included
these clours in their albums, music video mise en scene, and looking at these images I think they acheived
a good dipack that links to their music video, which also links to their choosen band.

Storyboard


 These three pictures show the storyboard
that we made using the help of the two
computers.
We decided to come up with this new idea to develop a new storyboard, as in the previous storyboard we made we realised that most of the scenes were a bit improssible as we first didn't have enough people to make a house party happen and we also didnt have a house to party in. This then spoiled the rest of the ideas that we planned as most of the scenes were to be filmed on the inside of a house. However, we had to come up with a back up plan, we decided to keep the few scenes that we could film, and from  there we would film all the possible scenes that we planned inside the house on the outside. We made a list of all the possible scenes we could do, we only planned the first scene as this is quite important, as we think this is what makes a person decide on weather they keep on watching the clip or turn it off and switch the channel.
We then filmed all the scenes, and when we had finished we decided to put all the scenes together but viewing them and listning to the music video at the same time. In the end, this technique worked well, as when we came to do the editing we knew the order and numbers of the clips and also knew long they                                                                                         had to last exactly.

Research on websites


Imagine Dragons, website analysis 
Looking at this website page I can see straight away the name of the group, and the new name of their album. The picture of the dark clouds match with the albums name. On the top left hand corner, we hover with the mouse over the letter there is a white highlight over them, on the top right hand corner shows the famous symbols for social network, but then again they repeat the same logos but on the bottom righ hand corner, but this time alturnerd in black. Right in the centre shows how many people like them and listen to their music. When we roll down we what the band has been for, in the lasts days.




Storyboard Planning


We did a storyboard a while ago. However, majority of the scenes we planned to do, were a bit hard to happen in reality. So we filmed the scenes that we thought it would be doable, and we filmed them and then after all the scenes were filmed we decided to put them together into a storyboard, these two pictures on the left hand side show how we put them together.












We used two computer one of them would play the music we choose from YouTube, and the other computer would play the scene that we filmed in the orther that we wanted. This then meant that when we did the editing, it was much easier to do as normal, because we would take the reference number of the video and put it together .
                                 



Second scened filmed

This shows a image of me filming the second scene,
in this scene we had a bit of a struggle as we choose the
wrong time to film, as it was nearly 15pm and this is the time
when parents and cares started making their way to pick up
their children, so had a few interuption. Due to these interruption
the sun also disapeared, so this scene did not acheive what
we had planned in the storyboard.
Even though this was our second scene being , on our music video clip is actually the first scene being showed to the audinece.

Website analysis

Katy perry- Home page

This picture abouve shows katy Perry's website home page. when we open her home page shows a picture straight away of what she has been doing, then when we cross it off, this scene shot shows what we see. Her name is located on the top left hand corner, with an altered text, the background is her face located in a very natural enviroment with all the flowers, this is due to srping. On the right hand corner in bold black so it stands out the symbols and also the links of twitter, facebook, instagram ect. Right in the center the name of a song that has recent came out, and at the bottem other links for her fans to click on to sale her albums.
