Digipak Experimentation



For my digipak experimentation i decided to follow the grunge photoshop tutorial. I think it turned out ok. However, it wouldn't be used for our genre of song which is pop because pop digipaks usually involve more colour as they are brighter to attract their target audience. The techniques i learnt whilst following this photoshop tutorial will be helpful when making one which goes with our song. Overlapping images is easy and changing the opacity makes every layer show through which i think will maybe something we will use when creating the real one. I also learnt how to add text in Photoshop which we will definitely need to be able to do for our final piece.

Green Screen Test Footage



This is the test footage we have taken using the green screen. We decided to use this to experiment and see if it would work with a background that we liked. The restaurant we are filming in is mostly brown colours so we decided to use a brown colour background as it wont look too different and odd in the video. The test footage looks ok but we decided that if we are going to use the green screen in our final video then we will change the background to something different to the one we used on here.

Recce Shots


This photograph shows the where the person would stand when acting in the music video with a blank screen behind her.





This is the tv screen which shows the background which has been put behind the person in the music video and it helps that it is facing the person in the video so they can see the position they are in when filming.





These 3 photographs are pictures of the camera used which helps get different shots. It allows you to zoom in and out and move it around.



These are the computers and buttons used to film and edit the backgrounds that will be used. We decided to test it out with this sunset background which is a video playing on loop. This means it would play through the whole song.

Inspirational Videos



I have decided to look at this video by Taylor Swift as the narrative is between a boy and a girl which is what our music video is going to show. The girl in this video is singing as if she is talking to the boy whilst being angry which is what our song is about.


This music video is filmed in a restaurant and we are using a restaurant as one of our locations so this music video helps us with props and a range of shots.


Katy Perry makes a range of different music videos and this one has a narrative to it which is why i have looked at it because we want our music video to have a narrative.


This music video by Jessie J is filmed using a green screen which is one of our ideas. We have looked at it because the movement used by both the main star and the camera works well together.

Record Label




This is our record label we created. We decided to call it Bright Star Records and the bright shooting star which is going through the name links in with it. I created it using Photoshop. I created the background with lots of different colours and then added the name of my record label 'Bright Star Records'. I thought it looked a bit plan so then decided to put lightning going through the title as this would also link to the name with the word 'Bright'.
