Final Digipak Panel

The final panel to finish before my digipak's completion is the CD panel. I wanted to do a simple CD itself so it could contrast against the patterns on the different panels.

I also wanted it to match the spines on the CD case itself so they wouldn't look out of place. I have also put the song list on the CD itself which i have seen on a few style models i have looked at.

Monday Meeting

In our monday meeting we discussed our next steps and how we're going to keep progressing with our video and filming. As kyle has started editing the opening scene of our music video we are happy to continue on filming and have decided that our next step is to film close ups of the band members.

This is fairly straight forward as we know the shots we want to produce and they are going to be quite artistic and unusual to add some flair to our video. This will be organised in a few weeks to enable us to continue moving forward. Until then we are still able to continue post-production and creating anxilary tasks.

Steps to next film shoot:

• Continue with anxilary tasks( Magazine Ad)
• Get in contact with the Music department and organise a time and date we will be able to shoot.
• Get in contact with the musicians/actors and inform them of the current situation and how we will be needing them in the upcoming weeks

Keeping in touch

As we have quite sporadic time tables and we don't come together in school that often, besides media lessons we have decided to set up a Facebook group message where we can have discussions about what is going to happen in the commencing weeks and talk about filming and getting actors ready. This has been extremely useful and we are able to keep in touch constantly and we are able to help each other out if needed. 

Editing

Now i have begun to edit parts of the video we have filmed to try and begin the post production process, this will contribute to the end product were me, Max and Kyle will put forward our best finished scenes and combine them to create the best video we can.

For now we have 2 or 3 more scenes to shoot, not including one re-shoot of the postcard scene.

First scene to be shot :

• Close ups of all the instruments being played to allow for more angles in the editing process

Second Scene(s):

• Miscellaneous scenes such as skyline, driving scene etc to fill film space and to create a better overall story.

Re-shoot:

• As our first shoot of the postcards didnt turn out quite as we planned and as we want the shots to be closer we have decided to shoot these again. 

Review of second film

Our second shoot went a lot better and we got some really good shots to work with. Firstly we decided to not use the tripod and do all the filming free hand which makes it more casual and free flowing. We also wanted to do close up shots so we could maybe use them as an insert shots. 

Here are some screen shots from our second shoot:

As you can see these shots are a lot more close up and show the postcards off well. We will film some more shots like this so that we have more film to work with when it comes to our post production. 

Digipak Continuation

Here are the rest of the pages for the digipak. I have taken inspiration from the album name itself and a new album that has recently come out called Asymmetry by Mallory Knox as this album uses lyrics on all of their digipak panels rather than images which i really liked.

The other inspiration was the band name itself "People & Things" this was really interesting to me as i wanted to take people and trace a hand gesture of some sort and put it onto one of the panels and i wanted to do  a group of everyday objects that we used and make them into different graphics. 

Here are the pages i created.

As you can see with all the pages so far i have used the same pattern in the background to keep a common theme in the digipak in its entirety. 

Digipak Back Cover

The back cover of a digipak is a bit more complicated to do, as all the legal information is printed on there such as the record label, the artists manager, music label. For this information i used several style models in order to re-create this aspect of the digipak. 

Here are two style models i used in the creation of my digipak. as you can see they both have information on the back about their label, music company etc.

And i have re-created this information on the back on my digipak, as well as the song list, the bands name, the album name, barcode and the Irwin Media Logo. 

I have also used the same background as the front cover to give the band an identity so its easily recognisable.

Here are the sony and def jam records logo's i used in my digipak
