Our photos

When making our Cd booklet and poster we went through alot of ideas and different photos untill we found some that worked.

These we all our photos we thought could have worked well on our album cover or in our booklet or poster.





These photos we our first initial thought for our poster, however they really didnt work well and the lighting was all wrong. It made her look slightly orange and her position to the camera didnt look flattering.

Filming- Day 2

Day 2 of filming.
Today we set up a black background to fit conventions and we filmed the first scene of our singing.
Our actor wore a black and white checkered dress to fit with the indie style of our video.
We filmed it from many different angles so we can cut and chop to make it look more flowing, and to use more different shots in the video to make it look more professional.
We also took photos of her in the dress to see how it would look for our poster.

Contact Sheet; Possible Photo's for Album.

Originally we wanted a album cover with the artist on, we were going to follow some of the conventions of our genre by having her outside. However it was sunny that day, and well everyday we tried to take photo's, and the lighting just really didn't work and caused shadows in loads of places.
Below are the pictures we took to try get that picture we we're aiming for, but as you can see the way the sun was it caused shadows on her face and on the ground, so they couldn't be used.

Location shots for second scene.

For our second scene we are going to use a location in someone's house. We were going to do this in a living room however we may now change it so the lighting is better. But we haven't tried it with our actor actually filming yet, so we don't know the outcome of what it will look like. We need to try it first, then decide wether to have it in a house or in front of a simple background, so we can control the lighting more.



Location Shots Scene 2 & 3

Location shots for opening scene

We went to our chosen location and took some photos of where we would like to film.

We tried to stick to the conventions and stick to our storyboard idea's so we would have more of an idea when we go to film.

Review of practical work

From AS I have learnt quite a lot which would help me within the production of A2.
To begin with I was quite worried about doing the coursework for AS as I choose the magazine option and that involved editing with fireworks and taking photos which look professional.
It was all very new and I had no idea what I was doing really. To begin with it was a struggle trying to learn it all and do it in the period of time I had but once I picked up how to use fireworks I found it quite easy when it came to finishing it.
I enjoyed taking the photos for my magazine as it was quite a laugh and an easy thing to do, it was a lot to think about though, with clothing, props and camera angles, you didn't want it to look wrong.
