Photos

As a group, we decided to pick out the best pictures from our photo shoot which would work well   for our album and sorted them out in a new folder.

After we have chosen our best pictures, we would be using Photoshop to edit the pictures.

Call Sheet

Before doing our photoshoot, we created a call sheet to make sure we know what we are doing , so we are not behind schedule.


Call Sheet 

Date: Monday 14th January 2013
Time: 10.15am - 12.50pm
Assignment:  Album photo-shoot (front cover, insert 1&2) 
Location: College studio and field (outdoor)
Client: Tyler Dew



Photographer

Yasmeen Melius :  yasmeenmelius@gmail.com
Stephanie Wong:  steph.wong@hotmail.co.uk
Sayed  Ahmed: sayed-321@hotmail.co.uk
Make-up Artist: N/A
Hair Stylist: N/A
Wardrobe Stylist: Casual wear was asked to be worn, which connects with our music video. 

Concept: 

We need to use the main artist (Tyler Dew) for the photo shoot. We are going to do a combination of photos taken in a studio and on location. Because the song is about break up, and is on a sad subject, we want the actor to have an intense/sad facial expression. We plan to create a shallow depth of field image, having Tyler in focus and the background blurred.


Timeline:



10:10: Meet the group members, and prepare the photo shoot including the studio. (Backdrop)


10:15: Meet Tyler


10:20: Outside location, took images using the walls, trees which corresponds to our music video.


11:10: Move to take images in the studio.


12:50: Finished for lunch.

Planning Print Work

In lesson we were told that we would be producing a mock-up of our Album CD covers. After we have done that we would present our ideas to the class.
For this task, we had to create a front and back of our album cover, two inserts for inside the album and a CD design.
At first, we decided to look at each other’s case studies to give us some ideas of what we want and to relate it to our mock-up of the album cover. After the group discussion, we decided to split the work which would make it easier for all of us, also at a faster pace.

***EDIT*** Thursday 10th January 2013
Today we have completed the presentation and will be presenting our ideas on Tuesday.

Feedback

After completing our music video, we had another focus group discussion where we presented our completed music video to a BTEC class and recieved Feedback from there:
here is a clip



Some of the things they said was:
-  issues with lip- synching
-  they understood the storyline of the music video that it is a concept of a break- up
-  need more lip- synching
- we needed more acting
- the cuting rate was in synch with the song
