Filming: Day 2 (28th Feb)

Due to the change of actress we had to repeat the filming from day one. This time around we changed which bedroom we filmed in as we weren't going to be using any footage from the previous filming day. The bed was now on the wall opposite the window which eliminated any lighting issues.

Like before we took the duvet off the bed, we replaced it with a blanket and a single pillow. We also made the floor look a little messy. Another pointer we learnt from our last time filming is we never record enough footage; therefore we were consciously recording more than necessary. We worked from the storyboard again but we improvised a few shots that we thought we looked good on the day.

For the arguing at the beginning of the video we will be recording this in the sound booth at school as it will be more of pure sound than if we were to take the sound straight from the camera.

Filming: Update

Unfortunately due to scheduling differences we have had to change our actress. Days where we were available to film Lateshia had other commits making it nearly impossible to find time to film the rest of our music video.

Our new actress is Sky, a member of the group. This makes it so much easier when trying to arrange filming days as we all have the same free lessons. However we had already started filming; the footage from this is useless as it features Lateshia. We have had to start the process again. This mishap has put us behind schedule but now we have to available filming slots I’m sure we’ll get back on track.

As well as starting to film we begun to create our digipak, this too will have to be adapted. Luckily we won’t have to change much as the concept is the same; just the images will have to be replaced with our new actress – Sky.

Digipak: Design

We've begun to create our digipak and this is what we have so far:

We’ve conducted research into other digipaks from indie bands. Above you can see the basic layout of digipak; it will have sides along with a spine. We’re planning to create a front cover, two image pages, lyric page (Alone In This), track list, and a CD holder.

The colour scheme we have chosen is grey as it ties in with the duller colours the band has used on previous CD covers. The font will be white to stand out against the grey scheme; the audience will be able to read the lyrics clearly.

The images will be of the character from the music video. You can see so far we’ve picked an image of Lateshia (our actress) laying down on the bed. She looks deep in thought, by choosing the close-up image of her on her own it will highlight the song title ‘Alone In This’. The imagery from the digipak advertises the music video as the pictures are directly taken from it.

We still have a lot of work to do on a digipak to get it to the standard we’d like however we haven’t completed filming yet therefore we have no further images to use at this stage.

The front of the digipak will be hand drawn to reflect the bands image and stay consistent with their previous work, which can be seen below.
