Digipack Ideas

Digipak ideas from Elliemariekeene1

Here I have included a presentation on how we plan to style our digipack. 

Production Diary Week 21

This week we focused alot on editing. We added the color over the skateboarding and trolley shots, this really allowed them to stand out more and look bright and colorful, again linking to our keep themes. We also editing the photoshoot shots with the "shutter effect" which allowed us to stop the shot and give the effect of an image being taken, this helped us improve from our practice as we added photos into that to create this effect which really stood out and were not as much quality.

Production Diary Week 20

This week we took shots of the narrative, we tried these in a park to create a more child like theme, we feel like this went really well as they looked much more happy being seen laughing and joking around, although we felt the first park shots had almost gone the wrong way and were too childlike, also the narrative actors didn't look very natural in these shots.We also found a sign with "keep out" on it which we edited in the section "danger zone" so that the shots would reflect the song and keep them flowing together. When editing we also found the amount of grey in the skateboarding shots really allowed us to add color easily, again keeping to our theme of brightness and color.

Park, trolley skatboarind shots

Within the past week we have decided to re image our narrative, giving them a more younger image rather than an older 18+ teenage look. We did this as found younger teenagers would link to our key words more, as it's easier to show them having fun and in bright colorful environments. Here we have tried a park and messing around on trolleys. We feel these shots have worked really well, you can see them laughing and having a lot more fun. Also the narrative is not looking at the camera which gets rid of the confusion we felt we had through narrative and star. We have chosen not to use the park shots though as we feel the actors didn't look very natural in these shots.

Production Diary Week 19

This week we did more lip syncing shots, we tried them infront of backgrounds on a projector at first this didn't work due to the background not being bright enough or the lighting from the projector making the images go fuzzy, so we re tried them again using lighting to stop the fuzzieness and different backgrounds that stood out more, we then found these shots more successful. We used these background rather than on location shots as it would eliminate other people getting in the way and ensured the focus being mainly on the star.

Production Diary Week 18

This we begun to think about our digipac, we created some sketches off different ideas we could think off. Drawing them helped us see them more visually, we then reflected these back to our research and saw that our first design didn't match the conevetions of the digipacks we had looked at before as they included only or mainly the star and we had included the narrative in our digipack to. We then drew a second idea which we feel more confidently about, although we had only taken inspiration from the shots we have done already so we feel like as we continue with out video we may find more ideas for our digi pack.

Sketches of digi pack ideas

Here are our first digi pack ideas, we have taken inspiration from the photo shoot shots we have already taken. On the first one we have taken shots from that using artist and her friends with the props. We have reflected on these and think that these may become confusing again between star and narrative. We also think that the focus needs to be mainly of the star and not her friends, which I think is lost in our first idea.

Our second idea we have tried to use the same look of a photo shoot but in more of a focus on the star, therefore we have different shots of her in locations used in the video, such as graffiti wall and the bridge. We have also changed the main photo shoot idea of jus the artist not with friends, but we have left one with friends but think we could have the friends in black and white and her in colour to make her stand out more.
