Changing the Name

The overall rection to my digi pack was good and people said that they liked the idea of my artists signature and the aspect of the sun on the CD. However, some people have said that the didn't like the name 'Frankie Pearl'. I want to keep the 'band' name as the artists full name so have come up with a few other alternatives.

First name;
- Irvana
- Frankie
- Amie
- Marina
- Lydia
- Marlene
- Cheska

Second Names;
- Jones
- Wright
- West

I think I still like Frankie, but would possibly change the second name to 'Frankie West' 'Frankie Jones' or 'Frankie Wright'.

Final Digipack 1



I wanted to use the singers signature somewhere, i've decided to use it behind where the CD would be placed. Like this.

Back Panal


For my final Photo on the back of my Digipack I will have Eleanor standing in a spotlight with the dress Rachel made on her, this is because this photo isn't very fitting with the front cover of my CD case. We have the image I want on our mac in school but I can not get to it tonight, meaning I will have to finish it tomorrow. I do like this image, i just don't think it looks very professional to have her in a studio on the front and her in a forest on the back of the CD case.

Idea 1. on CD design of digipack.


Excuse me talking to my sister in the background.

I love this idea, this is a more realistic photo of what i am trying to draw;





Lighting


When faced with the dilema of how to make our digipack more exciting, dynamic, and overall fitting with our genre I decided that the lighting would make a huge impact. From researching other Artists covers I decided to experiment simply with the lighting to see what creates the desired impact. I think like we should show her as a powerful, beautiful yet also vulnerable woman.



Idea.1 Is to have the lighting pointing down as though she is above it. I like the way it would make her look powerful and very strong. However, I feel like this lacks the vulnerability and innocence of the woman in the song. It makes me look "hard-skinned" which is not the look I think we should go for.









The Second Lighting position was to have the light straight onto her face, although slightly pointing downwards. I love this because you can still see the eyes giving her a stronger, and harder, more powerful look. However, she still looks quite vulnerable because of the light on the face, I think showing almost expressing a "my lips are sealed" kind of attitude. This can be executed in full body aswell which is another good factor as
we want to use the dress Rachel made for us.





This photo is another light on the face, but it is not as good because the light is directly on the face. Compared with the above photo it does not portray strength or even vulnerability. It just doesn't look right!







I like this idea of her looking into the light, as though she is looking into the future, fitting in very well with our concept in our Music Video. Again this is a shot which can be done on a full body photo/shot. The idea of her smiling is also nice, it represents the happier times and parts of our Video and concept as a whole.

Improvements To Be Made

After watching and spending time editing our footage I feel we still need to film a couple more things;
- Our Studio Footage
- More coupley times with George and Eleanor rather than just fighting

I think these would add more elements to the video, making it less superficial and would be easier for the audience to watch seeing as the story would make a lot more sense.

Studio Idea

We have decided to go with the Studio idea. However, we do not want to do the more obvious studio shots where she is simply singing into a microphone, we want to experiment. The genre we have chosen is Experiemental Pop/Rock, and therefore i feel like this should be shown in our final product.
We are going to use a variation of lights and a big room to film this is, this is where all our lip synching will take place.
When we get there we are going to experiement. Were planning to film on Wednesday 9th Feb

Draft 1

This is our First Draft of our final music video. From editing this we have realised that we need a new location. There are a lot of filler shots including the sky and a lot in the fields and woods, but this is a vauge idea of how our Music Video will look and is taking shape.

Wednesday, 2 February 2011


Today we tried filming some more singing shots. We took inspiration from this photo.



We tried to do recreate this by using the schools projector system bouncing of a whiteboard and hoping the light would bounce in the right direction, with the right amount of light which it did not. After playing with various ways to do this we found that it is not a good way to get this effect.
We have now found a few adjustable lights which we are going to aim on eleanor to try and get the effect. However we are yet to do so.

Studio Scene/Shots?

After a group discussion today of where to go next we have concluded that we are going to add in a new location. This is because our music video is not really making much sense at the moment. Our ideas of new locations are;


- A Bedroom - This is to show a woman alone in a safe place where she is singing and this would be the main lip synching place. The Bedroom would be very minimilistic and lonely.

- A Studio - This is to add a more obvious place, fitting with the conventions of a music video. Here we would experiment a lot with lighting, framing and composition and objects to try and get the most interesting shots possible

- A Road - Here she would be walking down the street, this would be the linking of the sadder times on the rooftop to the happier and free times in the forest. This would be good to have because it would show a clear link in the story as well as having all lip synchin there to add to the music video feel.
