Filming has been at a stand still due to Lweendo the main actor has been really ill and had to have an xray on his leg because he damaged it at work. Finding time between open days and art interviews is very difficult. When I am free they're not, so we are trying to put days together.

Inspiration into DigiPack- CD cover

I am trying to find images of inspiration for creating a CD cover.

Here is Rihanna's image - we found love from her music video her characters inspired me in the storyline I developed from my 2nd to 3rd draft. I like the idea that it is in black and white. Looking at my video shots similar to this image appear on my music video when the protagonist is running away. I could take screen shots and photo shop images from my music video of create a new image and create a similar posture. For the background I could use a pre existing image of take an image in the city centre or in Summertown- trying to not get any other person in the image of use a green screen. 

Looking at a completely different CD cover for Mika, you can see there is more colour and images placed within the image. I like the use of colours and the style. You can see that there is a lot going on in the image because of the detail. Move 3D and would stand out more on a shelf but I think that it's not suitable for my type of music video. Due to the storyline and the idea in which 'It does what it says on the tin' I like that it looks bubbly and striking. If I decided to make a similar cover to this for my music video cover I would use less colours- tone down on colours and focus on the 3D layout.

I really like this CD cover A Perfect Circle CD Cover by lordjax. I like the colour range and the way the face stands out. I think that I'm going to create designs like this where the protagonists face is brightly shown- highlighted with effects and layers and maybe have the idea of a bruise on her face to signify the storyline.  The font in the top right hand corner is simple yet effective in which as the image grabs your attention the title is in plain view so you know what it's called. The image leads you to want to know more. It's Gothic yet aesthetic. 

Inspiration- DigiPacks

Looking at example of a Digipack.

I like the digipack of Escape The Fate. It has continuity in the repetition of the cover of their album and the CD disc. I like the illustrations around the disc. Significant logos (authorisation, EMI, bar codes) are shown as well as the song names.

Filming

Today we agreed to meet at lukes and did 3 hours of Filming with the guy characters and looked into what to shoot the next time we meet up. As we collaborated ideas we thought it would be better to change up the storyline more so to keep older filming from my first draft.
