video mood board

these are some images i have dug up about the image i want the girl and lead singer in my music video to be like. this is because she is the constant throught the production and i would like her to have a certain sexy flare like in these images. the respectible but a little bit dirty girl is a very commonly used thing in indie videos and the members of the bands usually like to portray there sexuality and act 'cocky' on stage not caring what people think generally and what goes on in their lives. therefore i am using it in my video to keep it as a typical indie video that fans can relate to easily

this is my mood board for my album cover i have come up with a new concept that subverts the genre i am going to call the album 'Popular Culture' and have the same image of the woman with the mouth and then have her biting an i phone with the band name and album name on the cover. it subverts the genre because indie music is all about avoinding popular culture and the fact that she is biting the i phone is clever becuase it gives connotations that she is breaking it but the cover still has the same subversion of the indie genre.

I HAVE HER she said she will do it if we shoot with her braces off which means i now have all my actors

what ive learnt

at the beginning of the year i was illitirate in both the photoshop and adobe after effects programmes. i have now learnt how to use the photoshop effects and how to layer images and leave a certain colour which will be essencial for my digipack. i also learnt how to touch up images in photoshop and clear up skin to make it look better and more professional for the album cover and advert. i also learnt how to use the leave colour effect on after effects this is the staple of my video therefore pretty essencial. at first is wasnt working wll but i learnt how to isolate the colour and the right settings for the desired effect.

i have made this on photoshop from an image i found on google this is the general idea for my cd cover but obviously with my own person. i am doing this because it is somthing that will be realted to the video in the colour effect. also it is something that will stand out on a shelf because it is the very bright colour on the black and white image. also it is going to make people pick it up to see who the band is and what the album is because it wont have the name of the band on the front atall.

i have booked out a camera to start shooting my footage over the half term break however still need to sort out school acces during half term
