Location Change

As we were unable to use the drama room due to it being in use for performances and rehearsal this month, we needed to use another location so we can start doing filming. I found that the hall was free to use most of the time. So we have decided to use that instead.


We can use this as it's a black curtain which is what we needed from the drama rooms anyway.

There are two of these blocks which can be used as a stage.

Response to Photoshoot

I thought the make up should have the obvious eye liner and mascara but also some glitter on her face. I thought a different pattern in the
1. Narrative
2. Bridge and
3. Chorus would have had the best out come.


However, I thought that this photo shoot was more successful then the last one as we produced more images that are useful and with an increase of character.
Also, I think the earrings were a good idea as Peace signs, it just goes with the whole hippy 'not caring' look.

Photoshoot

We have just taken some more photos for our album cover. We have changed the artists clothing and advanced her make up. We have decided to also use a different location for this photo shoot. Whilst taking the photos, we started to shoot the beginning of our music video.

Unavailability of location:

We have just found out that the group is unable to use the University green room in order to film the video. This is a result of the room not being at our access as easily as we had hoped. We thought that the use of the green room would allow us to add special effects for the bridge of the song as it is a green room, which sees the artist on her own for that section of the song, therefore, we needed to make it different to the rest of the song.


We felt that this would hinder our filming progress. However, we are not reluctant at the news as we still have other locations within school which will allow us to do our filming as successful as our previously planned location. We decided that we would be able to special edits of that footage with the program "Final Cut".

Hair idea response:

Hey Tash M,


I think your hair being back combed would be a good idea. It gives a much more feminine and different perception of you as the artist. It also links to other pop artists who have their hair in different styles to show their fashion sense toward the audience. You could also have drastic make up of some sort? or like a pattern on your face with glitter gel? Just something that makes you really outrageous and to show how your care free?


oh.... And the flower in your hair would be a good touch to the image :)

Hair Style

Hi Tasha D,


We haven't really thought of a hair style apart from just straight or curly however, I was at home trying to think of something a bit more fun and I tried out back combing my hair and took a few snaps...



So... that's it up at the back but we could have it out and with flowers in it maybe. I have a few flowers so I'll bring them in on Wednesday when we do a bit of filming and a photo shoot hopefully. Also, glitter like Kesha will make her stand out and we could use this as a homage to her! Tell me what you think. :)

Photos for Album Cover:

Yesterday, the group decided to do a photo shoot for our album cover that we will plan on making soon. We decided to do an array of different photos, with the artist in different poses and the use of different camera angles to personify her in the right light. These varied from close up shots to low angle shots all.

We have decided to focus on the artist for the album cover as this is a typical convention of a pop album covers. By focusing on the artist wholly, this will show her importance toward the audience and allows the audience to focus on her and not be distracted by anything else on the album cover. Here are a few of the images we took:

This is a conventional close up image. We wanted to make a 'V'
shape so we could edit the name onto the album cover in a more creative
way.
This image features a keyboard which shows the artist cares about
the music as much as she cares about being famous.
This image is a pose where the artist looks a bit crazy, which is the
type of artist we're trying to portray.
