Shot list for friday and wednesday filming

Having previously planned out all of the shots I needed to do, I was easily able to recognise the changes which I had to make to make my video successful. It gave me a clear guidance of what to do on each day, which saved me time on the day. I stuck to my plan and filmed each shot how I had planned to do so. I thought that having a shot list definitely helped me when it came down to making sure I was working efficiently and successfully. I found even small details such as outfit planning really helped as it reinforced the idea of her looking back on her life and reflecting on her relationship through memories.

Digipak planning

This was my initial ideas which I sketched, to get a brief idea of what I was going to make my digipak look like. I felt like it was Important for me to plan my ideas beforehand so that I could have got a brief idea of the look like I wanted to go for. I hope to keep my ideas similar but to freshen them up once I've received feedback. 

Album advert planning

This image above is a rough idea of how I want my album advert to look. The main focus on this is the singer in my opinion, therefore I want to have a close up of Sophia, filling up the majority of the page. I intend to edit it so that the text and title of the actual album blends with the image, keeping the background quite dark, preferably black, so that I have a lot of choice of the colour of text, blending well. As I have decided to have a close up of Sophia, I want her to have a subtle pose to the image, one that is inviting to the audience, yet one which doesn't give away everything about her personality - which means the audience will have time to work it out through listening to her music. 

Including the vital aspects such as 'OUT NOW' is a massive pointer which is essential to the success of my album advert. I need to ensure that this point of the advert is clearly visible, and is in a eye catching area of the advert. As well as this, ratings are very important, I will make these stand out massively from the rest of the text by putting them in a different colour, such as a golden/yellow. It will instantly draw the audiences attention which will entice them into the album, which is my intended aim - to make it look more appealing to my audience.

Contact with the band and singer

I have sent emails to both the artist of the song and the singer. I wanted to reinforce  the fact that it was for my media a level and therefore I was using the song and singer for a good reason.
