Edited photo for poster advert

This is the image we have chosen to use for our poster advert. We used Photoshop to edit this photograph. We enjoyed doing this task however we did have some issues cropping out the subjects hair. It took us a long time to erase the background from the hair an to make it look neat and natural, however it was worth it in the end. We am now going to make the magazine poster and add this image to it.

 

 

We then decided to use this image as it was stronger and spoke to the audience. it followed conventions because of the makeup and hair.

 

 

 

Production diary-Film day with Romano

Due to a different timetable from my team members, I was unable to attend today. However, Shaista and Ilianna and the male star Romano went out to film in Tesco and also in a cafe for our music video. The scenes filmed were Arabella reminiscing when her and her partner were still together. I would say that  the filming was successful as a lot of footage was filmed, even though there were some difficulties with the camera, filming still happened.

Photoshoot for ancillary tasks

Shaista and I did a photo-shoot of Ilianna. This photo-shoot was extremely fun and we all gathered our ideas and literally brought it to life! We have decided to use these photos for our ancillary tasks; the poster advert and our digipak. We believe that this was the best shoot that we have done so far!

CD cover

Shaista and Ilianna worked on the CD cover and decided  to keep it nice and simple as they thought that it is more effective that way with just  the name on the artist and the album name and the logo which is just the stain of the lips. The colours chosen was a light pink and white, the reason we have done this is because we want the artist Arabella to appear delicate and also innocent.

 

 

First edit Digipak

Here is the first edit of our digipak. After receiving constructive feedback, we realised there were many faults with our digipak, for example, our spine measurements were incorrect, the spine is not supposed to be that long. Also we thought that our photos looked boring and that we needed to add more photos to make it a lot more interesting and to give it a pop feel.

First edit of poster advert

Whilst working alongside Shaista to create a poster advert, this was our first trial. After completing this first poster, we asked our pairs amongst us to give us feedback and tell us what they think that we can improve on. After receiving feedback, it was brought to our attention that this poster did not follow the conventions of a Pop artist but instead looked more like an RNB poster, it looks very dark and dull and a Pop advert would be vibrant and exciting. After coming to this conclusion we decided to re-edit the poster.

CD images-Front cover photo

Above is the unedited photo of Ilianna that will be the front cover to our CD.

Above is the edited version to the first photo. To do this I used the software Adobe Photoshop.

First day off filming

Due to different lesson schedules, I was unable to attend this shoot which was the first attempt of shooting our video. Whilst filming Ilianna, Shaista mentioned that it ran smoothly because Ilianna had managed to learn al the lyrics to the song. After spending hours of filming, it came to the surprise of the girls that the quality of the music video was not up to the standard that we had imagined, this meant that we would have to film again. This time round we decided to use my Canon DSLR camera.
