Thursday 12/11/15: Digipak progress

So far...

• We've decided we want a 6 panel case. We plan to have 2 different locations/themes on the pack, one for the inside 3 panels and one for the outside 3. The two themes we are likely to choose are a wooded surrounding; cliff shots; cliff shots and shots with them together; shots with them together in ambiguous/varied locations.
• We've made a start on the back cover and are now in the process of getting photos to go in the other frames.
• We've decided it would be a good idea not to do too much to the photos (colour grading etc) until after we've completed the video, as the digipak is essentially an offspring of the music video so we'll adapt it to suit our finished production.
• I picked out a photo from the cliffs that we took of Anna against the sea, added it to a Photoshop document and cropped & scaled it to fit into the correct frame dimensions.
• On Thursday Mia continued with the Digipak and added and positioned both the album name and the majority of the album's songs onto the back. She chose a select few from the album because the number of songs on it is unusually big. Mia also began to search for the Lucy Rose font however we've deduced that her font was probably custom designed and can't be found on the internet.

Friday photoshoot

• On Friday 13th we used our double free first to organise and execute a photoshoot, Anna being the subject of the shoot.
• The purpose of the shoot was to get a suitable photo to put onto the front cover of the digipak. We therefore looked at our previous analysis' of the genre and of Lucy rose and decided a shot of her looking into frame for the print ad and a centered shot of her not looking into frame/looking into frame would work best.
• We took the photos in the small meadow behind St Gregory's school and ours in which trees encompass its perimeter. This meant we would never get a shot with something in the background that would force us to discard the photo.
• The theme of the artist being among nature was conforming to the genre's themes which was our intention.
