Settings and Locations

I am using the Open Hand, Open Space art gallery in Reading to film half of my music video. The building is very rustic and has a lot of character to be reflected in the video, as well as being a very open area with plenty of room to experiment and explore. 







The second half of my music video is shot in school using a green screen. The media office houses the department green screen on its largest wall, and I set up a desk in front of it, with a spotlight and blue gels to light the scene accordingly. I placed the lyrics on the wall to the side so that the talent may look up to read them and if they happened to glance whilst the camera was recording it would still look authentic, as the song's lyrics literally address other people, it makes sense that the person speaking them would look in different directions, as if to turn to that person. I also had to block out the windows using black tissue paper so I could make my own artificial blue light as effective as possible.

Completed Digipak

Image
My digipak is made from the traditional material of classic CD packaging designs, folding card. I constructed this digipak using recycled card and printed glossy paper to give a professional and sleek feel, whilst not being overly picky with the conciseness of the cutting work on the cover, as I felt it added to the rustic and raw feel of the album itself, and accurately portrays how the band would want to be presented.  It is a regular six panel digipak with two edges for folding, with two spines separating the thirds. I created a lyric booklet to go inside the cover and create an interactive device. I chose not to put the entire lyrics on the page as it would have distracted from the artwork behind the text, and may have looked messy. I think simply putting the choruses on the pages adds a nice minimalist feel and portrays the messages of the songs well.  Lyric booklets are a generic convention of digipaks, and while it was not a requirement in the context...
