The Album Cover

We decided that, for the inside face of our digipack, where the CD would sit, we should graffiti our names into a design. We liked this idea because it makes us more relatable and normal, like down-to-earth girls that doodle like everyone else. I was designated the job of drawing the graffiti, and this is what I came up with. I put in little details such as the martini-cocktail glass , stars, an eye and a heart, and made the writing for all our names different in some way, to show our different personalities.

Ongoing Production: Effects Experimentation

The Video

We are getting on really well with out video....We've begun putting in effects such as "colour correction" (Brightness & Contrast, Adding/taking away blue, green or red shades) and "image control" (gamma correction), to get rid of things like shiny faces, bland background, dull colours, and just to generally make the footage look as high quality as possible. But we will properly grade it nearer towards the end

We are also currently experimenting with reversing/repeating/chopping up shots to make them look weird and quirky, sometimes with the beat and lyrics and sometimes against it. So far, this has worked really well and gives our video a surprising edge. Otherwise, I think it would be a boring video, as there is only one location, excluding the narrative.

Overall, as far as the video is concerned, I'm really happy with how it's going. We should be on target for the deadline and we only have a few gaps to fill in.

The Digipack and Myspace

Because we've been so focused on the video, we've kind of forgotten that we have two other practical tasks to complete for the same deadline!...: The album cover (digipack) and the myspace (website). We need to start these projects!

THE SHOOT

Our shoot was really successful! We got all the footage we needed plus more hand-held, quirky stuff. Here are some more backtage snapshots of my role on the day:



Backstage Photos: A look at the Day

These are some backstage photos from the shoot, which I put on facebook but are good for evidence of how we worked on the day, the equipment, and the amazing studio we were working in.
