After filming some scenic shots on the Seafront in Seaford and completing some of the criteria we realised the footage was unusable.
The actor we were using as 'the bigger boy' was unable to finish filming and so therefore we had to alter our plans at the last minute. We will still film back on the beach but i have taken over the role of being the 'smaller boy' and Mike my filming partner has taken over the role of playing the 'bigger boy'.
Although now we have reliable actors and we still have clear ideas and are on time we have found another problem. With both students who are filming being actors we are going to have to set the shot up and then get into the scene therefore not being able to adjust the shot as we were acting. Unfortunately with our music video being very narrative we are going to have to adjust and adapt to the change.
Problem two.
After completing my digipak and evaluating it, the actor i was going to use as the lead singer has backed out of the music video. So now i have taken over the lead role as well as a cameraman for the music video and so therefore i will have to adjust the digipak so that it makes sense with the music video.
There is a wall shot on Seaford beach that i will take a photo of and edit the text there i will use this for the front cover of the digipak and for the poster, i will then reedit it and re evaluate it hopefully before the deadline!
New photos
Here are the new photos i will be using for my digipak and for the advert poster.
This is the first shot i will be using for my digipak. The majority of the shot shows the sea with great albedo giving great lighting and colours. It was shot later in the day and is features the smaller boy. The darkness reflects the anger and his loss of the girl. The actor is facing away from the camera and it gives a silhouette type effect.
After editting the photo on photoshop i have now used this picture as my front cover. I have used the fonts Masterplan and Orial both of which can be found on http://www.dafont.com/.
Masterplan
Orial
I had coloured the fonts so that it matched the rest of my digipak. The red representing love and romance although it can also be portrayed as anger and rage as in the video one of the two boys loses out. The other font is white, white firstly works well with red and it contrasts the black found on other parts of the digipak.
Here is my finished front cover image for my Digipak.
It is simple and the photo is very suggestive which takes up the main theme of the image. The title over the top is colourful and bright so it stands out and the character in the picture again relates to my target audience therefore it is relevent. The picture i was going to use is found below.
The differnt colours for my image, even though i personally thought it looked nice didnt make sense with the rest of the digipak therefore had to be discarded.
Here is another photograph that i will be using for my Digipak. It will be located opposite the CD and will be left untouched for a number of reasons. Firstly i think leaving the picture as it is provokes thought. The picture itself establish's the age of my target audience and the clothing links the character to the genre. The sea is in the background and as i have previously spoke about shows the band being taken into a new direction (on the coast).
My third photo that i have had to change is this one. It is the photograph i will be using for my advertisement. As there are only two of us filming and we're both now playing parts in the music video, we have found it hard and quite a struggle to be able to take all the shots we wanted too. So for this shot we set the camera up and it gave us 6 seconds to get into position for the shot. I like it and will use it for my advertisement because after researching other posters that other bands in the same genre had been doing i needed a photo that shows the two actors standing either side of the photo and leaving a nice background to allow for text and photo edditing. The clothing is that which can be found in the music video, which is aimed towards our target audience. I will edit the photo using photoshop and add text to it. I will get fonts from www.dafont.com. I will add the 'greyscale' effect to the image and put it into black and white, but i will change the colour of the font to red and white, i will try and add some black fonts in there somewhere.
Redone Digipak.
Here is my digipak that has some of the pictures i have reviewed here incorporated. As you can see the two other pictures, the back cover and the cd cover are the ones that i was going to use on the original Digipak. I much prefer the colour scheme of primarly black, white and red. The colours are fairly masculine and relate to the target audience of the Arctic Monkeys.
The digipak is quite dark and generally gives off an aggressive feel. This can be found in the music in the track that we had created a music for. Equally the calm sea contrasts this.
The fonts i had used were:
Bebas
This was the font that is coloured red down the spine of the digipak. I chose this font because firstly and perhaps most importantly its easy to read. Secondly its quite bold and interesting so it will stand out from other CD covers. Finally its got a rock feel to it so it blends in well with the rest of the digipak.
Bleeding Cowboys.
This is a very arcane style font i found it exciting. I used it on the backcover and on the cd case. I used different size fonts and different colours to make it a little bit more intersting. Again it fits into the indie / rock genre, but its not generic its something a bit different and thats what i was looking for to use in my Digipak.
The other two fonts that i had used were those that i had talked about earlier on in this section of the blog.
The programme i had used to make my digipak was Adobe Photoshop.
This is a screenshot of when the digipak had been finished and all the pictures and text had been put into place. On the right side the layers tool (shown below) allows me select what layer i want to edit and what effects i want to place onto that layer.
To add a image to i went into file and clicked place, using the digipak template i had made i then placed the image ontop. Shown below are some screenshots showing the step by step of how i used the place tool.

Other photo's taken.
This one was taken on Seaford beach at the location of filming for the music video. It features Mike playing posing as the bigger boy, and Jodie the female actor playing as the girl that everyone is fighting over in the music video. I like this photo because it has great lighting and nice contrast. Furthermore i like the way that half of the photo is the blue sky with clouds and such in it and the way it contrasts with the sea. With the lighting being natural and on a bright day, the shadows also work well in the picture, however if i was to take the shot again i would make his face clearer and more visable. I havnt found a place to put this on my digipak yet but i will use it as a backup image incase others don't work.
