Filming

On the 4th of January my group went up London to film. Casey, Nathan and myself left to go up London at 12.00pm but by time we got up there it was during peoples lunchtime so when we was filming there was a lot of people walking around up London. So when we was filming our shots there was a lot of people getting in the way which was quite annoying. Next time when we choose to go and film we need to make sure its a time when there is not a lot of people up London and also because it was during the Christmas holidays there was even more people up London. Also, next time when we go and film up London we need to film in the night time to have a vary of shots and also these shots will look good with all the lights on up London.

We went to a number of destination and settings such as the bridge going over the river thames, the london eye, the houses of parliment and big ben. We also went to a local park to film Casey lip-syncing the whole song which gives us more options for when we go and edit our filming. When we was filming we stood on the bridge for 10 minutes and filmed traffic going past but we also had the London eye in the background. We will be using this piece of footage but speeding it up to make it go faster to make a great effect. by making the London eye spin around faster.

On the 14th of January we went and done some filming round Nathan Powells house. We filmed quite a few little shots just for extra's for when we come to editing we can just add it in. The main piece of footage that we needed was of Casey drinking some shots and looking depreased. Also we took some more shots of Casey chilling and playing Fifa and also him in his room getting dressed.

Font

For our digipack cover I have been looking at several fonts on dafont.com. I am looking for something which is a bit classy and grimy mixed together and found a couple of fonts.

Digi-Pack CD Draft

In my digipack idea I feel that if I include a lot of pictures then the audience would be attracted into buying it. The pictures that I have included are some of the group and also a picture of a location where we aim to film some of our music video and it is also a image of the area of where our group is from, London. Also I have decided to use a main colour theme of black and blue. The reason why I had used this colour theme is because I feel that these two colours work together and also they are bold colours that stand out. The fonts that I have been looking at to use in my digipack works well with my genre I think because it looks a bit classy as well as grimy and that is what our genre and what our types of songs are about. The fonts that we are looking to use is off of a website called dafont.com and the fonts are called slammertag.ttf, Tags Xtreme 2 Font. Also the layout of how we are having our track lists is set out so it takes up the back panel and you can clearly see the names of the songs.

Digipak CD Cover Info

A digipak is like a little booklet which is made out of a cardboard like material. A dual box only has two sides where as a digipak has several sides which can include some information or several pictures. It is also folded in like a small package and opens up with the CD which is placed in the middle.

What makes a effective digipak?

• Various images - Attractive images not useless ones so you can have a picture of the band or something that relates to thegenre of the music that will be in the digipak.
• Colour schemes - The colour schemes need to look good. They need to be bright or attractive.
• Font - The title needs to be in a good font which stands out.
• Stand out and eye catching.
• Everything should relate to your band and your genre.
• Cover Art

I have selected the above images as they all come from different music genres. The first image is of the digipack of the music group called wyth. The reason why I like this digipack is because the artist is shown as really powerful and bold and he has an image of himself on mainly all of his pages. This would be one thing that I would use when doing my digipack.

The other two images that I included was of Lil Wayne and Katy Perry both of two different music genres but they both set the same statement. They both have an image of themselves on the front of their albums with the name of their album clearly stated and I like the look of it. I think that my digipack will look a bit like both the wyth digipack and also the Lil Wayne album cover as the Lil Wayne picture relates more to my genre.

Our location to shoot

We are planning to go and film our music video at Southbank using the skating park which is there and also the other locations what Southbank provides. Our first innitial ideas was to film our video in Brighton as we could use the beach and the pier but we feel that this location is better and more suitable for of music video. These are some of the shots that we want to use:
