Digipak vol 2 (NEW)



I made huge changes to my digipak today based on the feedback I received on my first attempt. My main colours are neon pink, blue and black with no red. I like that the photos I chose have quite vivid backgrounds, as this will reflect the name of my artist. I think the pink works well as it lightens it up and stops it from looking too dark. I plan to put another image of Tolani in the blank space with a dark background however with other bright elements and edit it similarly, making it look hazy and edgy. I also need to add the barcode and some other typography. After I have done this I will ask for feedback from my teacher again.

New Photos For Digipak



I edited the photo on the left in order to make it seem more edgy. I made the background black (it was originally red), I then duplicated the layer and lowered the percentage of the opacity of the photo on photoshop. After, I shifted the photo slightly and repeated it multiple times.

Filming in London day



Today me and my group filmed in London in Soho, China Town and around Charring Cross. We also took still shots to potentially use in our digipak.

Narrative Change

Our initial idea was to film scenes where later on in the music video we would reveal flashbacks of both the protagonist and her boyfriend together as part of a 'happier times' montage of clips. Also starting the video as sad facial expressions and moods from the main character. 

Our plan is to now start the music video very happy and then later on, during the bridge, reveal the antagonist in 1 or 2 scenes and ending it sadly.

Digipak vol 1



This is my first attempt of making my digipak. I took inspiration for the rose on the CD from the Lana Del Rey digipak that I analysed. I received feedback from my teacher explaining that neon and red don't mix well and that it has too many colours on it. I plan to change my digipak where appropriate and make these changes.

Photo Edits



I edited my second image for my digipak, I used a neon yellow to represent my artists name Vivid opposed to the last photo which had red. I used the same technique and made Tolani hazy whilst keeping the rest of the image normal.

Photo Edits

After getting feedback from my teacher I decided to continue to edit my photo in photoshop to give it more of a edgy look. I did this by duplicating the layer 5 times and moving them slightly to the left and right each time. the more layers I added the clearer the original image became.

Filming Schedule



I created a filming plan for my group. The boxes in yellow are what we've already filmed and the blank are what we need to film. Most of our shots don't rely ion particular weather, both tunnels we plan to film in are lit up and the majority of our other shots are inside. We may need too improvise and film the Soho shots on a different day due to bad weather.
