EVALUATION QUESTION FOUR

DIGIPAK: PROGRESS

For the same reason as why I did it for my CD design, I decided to frequently save the progress of my digipak design. Below is the album cover and CD tray I have already designed and following that is the progress of my digipak design.

Finally, this is the draft that I'm going to send to people for audience feedback to find out on what I can improve.

DIGIPAK (CD): PROGRESS

After creating my magazine advert and album cover on "fotor", I realised that the website can freeze and crash a lot, making it very easy to lose all of my work. Because of this, I decided to save the image frequently in case if it did happen. Although there's only small changes, it still shows the progress and changes in ideas.

I then wanted to add the record label at the bottom of the CD. Originally, the "epic" record label logo I had downloaded was red but it only took me a split second to realise that a red logo on a digipak that only consisted of blue and white looked very odd. Because of this, I found another one that was white with a transparent background to fit my theme and colour scheme a lot better. 

This is the red logo I had originally and although I prefer the style and font of this one rather than the white, I couldn't find this in white so I went with the other logo.

I also then added another diagonal line in the background to match the magazine advert and the rest of the digipak that I will create soon. I also made sure that this diagonal line is at the exact same angle (16°) as the rest so that when it's all put next to each other, there's a very clear correlation and it all links up and matches.

I then decide to add another white circle around the CD to show that when the CD isn't in the packaging, there will be a plain white circle there rather than a blue background.

Here is the final CD along with the background of the CD tray. It's not the right size or shape at the moment but I will fix that once I create the full digipak as I will need it to be a size that correlates with the rest.

Although I made the album cover and the CD / CD tray separate, I think I'm going to make the other two sides all together with the four sides as I think that will be more efficient. Making all four sides separately will take a lot more time as I then have to put them all together and make sure that they're all the same size.

SATURATION

Throughout our music video, we wanted to make sure to have fairly high saturation. However, we had to pay closer attention with this when it came to the portrait shots that we filmed using Lucy and Julia's iPhones as the colours weren't as vibrant as when we used mine and Julia's DSLRs.

FILMING DAY 3

Today our original plan was to go to Camden to film more portrait shots. However, because we went on a friday morning, once we arrived we noticed that most people were either in school, or at work. This meant that it we didn't end up finding anyone to film portrait shots of. We then made our way to another area of London hoping to find more people by lunch time, however we still had the same problem.

We didn't want to waste the entire day so we took this opportunity to take establishing shots of the area to use as fillers and cutaway shots if needed.

FILMING DAYS 1 AND 2

We first started filming on Thursday and mostly concentrated on the portrait shots as well as a few shots of Julia on our cameras and using Fyuse. To do this we went to Shoreditch as we thought it's a location with people and an overall vibe of what we are going for. On this day we had a few problems with the SD card however since we had two cameras, and our phones, we managed to make it work.

The second day of filming went along a lot smoother as we didn't have an issue with the cameras. We also filmed more than we did on the first day.
