DigiPak Update:

Sooo, Like we said, yesterday we took lots and lots of photos of Peter! Emily, Alex and Amy all took turns in snappping away. We think Peter loved it, because he couldn't stop posing :P
Hopefully, today we will be able to upload all the pictures, select a few of the better ones and then edit out the background and change it and maybe change his clothes or something for some of the pictures to create our awesome and amazing digipak.

These are some digipaks that we have looked at:


As our artist is reasonably new to the music world, images of him on the front cover and throughout the digipak are necessary to promote the artist both musically and as a personality, a celebrity. This digipak (above) as well as the others in fact, have a theme running throughout and are consistent as the images are all from the same photo shoot. We have therefore taken all our photos in similar locations to promote a certain atmosphere surrounding our artist.

We may want to consider using images which reflect a general tone and theme of the music in our album, similarly to the digipak above and its use of hearts.

We will need to select a relevant colour scheme also, we may choose to use more than two colours like the album above, although this gives a very distinctive effect, it may not be suitable for the style of our artist and their music.

This digipak unlike many others, does not use an image of the artist on the front cover, we will most likely not consider this option as we have chosen to have an artist logo.

Filming the Rapper!

We designated this evening of filming to the rapping scenes. We had even more difficulty with lighting on this occasion than before. As we were filming outside, so had no use of electric lighting, we chose a location near a street light. Peter was very professional when filming this scene, and after a short practice we were ready to film. We also decided to film so more footage of Peter singing other parts of the song so that we had more footage to work with and cut away to.
If we had more hours of daylight then we would have tried to film some more shots in the same area but this was not possible. We made sure to film some close ups to ensure that our video contains a range of shot types. We are gradually cutting down the amount of footage we have left to film with only a few more dates planned.

Filmingg! Take 2.

After spending the day in London filming, we filmed a total of about 20 minutes of footage. We found this to be quite reasonable considering we only filmed roughly a third of our total video. We then had to decide what days everyone was free to film the remaining footage for our song. Wednesday the 3rd of November was the next availble date.

So Today (Wednesday the 3rd of November) Emily, Alex, Peter and Chelsea went to Richmond to filmthe jewellery footage that we needed. Unfortunately, the camer was not charged. However, we did manage to film what we thought was necessary.

Our next filming dates our:
  • Monday 8th
  • Tuesday 9th
