Photography for Digi-Pak

Photoshoot Day...Dilemma

Today we had our photoshoot booked in the studio, however it wasn't booked properly and sadly the studio was being used. We managed to still get to use the film studio which has a black background but as it is not a backdrop meant we could not take full length shots as the background wouldn't be smooth. With the lack of time we had to make the most of it using the overhead lights and one spotlight we lit the model in front of the black wall and took some close ups for the CD digipak. Hopefully we can get another day to shoot but for now we will have to use what we have managed to get.

Print Production - Working on the Poster

As for the CD we just need to take our photos to insert, I have been working on the magazine advert/poster, here is how the layout is so far:

In the grey box will go the front cover of the CD for advertising purposes.

Print Production - So Far..

Front Cover: By Zainab

Text created on adobe illustrator. All we need now is the photography.

Back Cover: By Jason

Planning layout of the logos which are a typical convention.

Inside the CD: By me and Arman

Panoramic image covering all insert, quote from song on the left, CD in the middle, credits on the right.

Both images used in back and inside are just mocks / back cover image is a screenshot from the video and inside image is taken previously by fellow team member Arman.

Ideas

These are some screenshot of possible images to use on production of CD or magazine advert. Using the location as an iconic way to remember our music video.

Planning our CD trifold package

 As we are planning to create a trifold CD package, I have used The Weeknd's album 'Trilogy' to compare how we would want our placing. I created a paper sample were I noted what we would want our package to include.

Front cover - Drake actor (not sure of shot)

First fold- Quote on the left side/Drake actor in extreme close up on right side

Open - A panoramic shot covering whole insert/CD in the middle/Credits on the far right side

Back - song title + bonus tracks/barcode/logos/Drake actor image (with city?)

Media Diary

Right now we have found our actor to do the role of Drake for our music video 'From Time' however our main problem seems to be our actor is finding it rather difficult to learn the lyrics of the song is such a short space of time. As a result of that we have had to extend his time that he has to learn the lyrics by a couple of days.
