Re-drafted Story

The story now goes as followed, the woman's boyfriend has stood her up then we see her lip sync the song, she prepares dinner for him and he doesn't turn up, then we see her lip sync the song. She looks through her memory box, we then see a flashback of them together. She looks at the picture, calls him, saying he should come over. We see our artist getting ready. She opens the door and her girls are there, finally, the video ends with girls laughing.

Ideas for Digipak

Digipack dimensions
We looked online to find the dimension of the digipack and we found that it is; 139.5 x 125.5mm


CD Cover  Research 


Beyonce Sasha fierce 
we will be intexualising with this CD cover, we like that Beyonce looks natural and has little emotions almost symbolising her hiding her feelings. we will recreate this for the front of our cd cover.

Ashanti



Estelle 

the colour of our cd cover is black and white, we were thinking about doing a close up of her face in black and white and her lips red. 



Wednesday 7 March 2012 
We sat down as a group and discussed our final project, as our song is entitled so invisible, We therefore want to show this. Typically in RnB female videos the artist is the centre of attention on the cover.  So we cant show the artist being invisible on the front cover. We are therefore going to have an image on the inside cover of the artist looking at pictures and the pictures showing her being invisible.

This is how I would want the CD cover to look as we have chosen an RnB artist, and because the song is about not being acknowledged, I thought it was appropriate to have one where the artist is sitting near a window and looking out, but she should use voyeurism to attract people to by her CD.

Here is a rough copy of what I would like our CD cover to look like, I would like to show her in the park with a blurred background, so she is in the focus. Showing her whole body reinforcing the convention of voyeurism.

Here are my ideas for the digipack. All of the CD covers convey close up emotion of Ria the actress and is concentrated on her as a person. The first cover shows 1/2 her face with a black background and her eyes are heavily covered with make up. The second cover is a close up of her face with no make up to show her vulnerability. The third shot is of her whole body looking seductively into the camera with a black background.

Problems we have been facing

Because, one of our actors are very unreliable, we have decided to no longer use him as he has other commitments. We have now decided to keep all pictures and footage of Moses and we have checked with Moses to make sure he's happy with it, however, in the actual music video, you won't actually see him. We have decided to this because it is too late to now find someone to replace him, so after great discussion we have decided to use someone who is looks like Moses from the back.

Wednesday 8th February
We were near finishing our music video, when we discovered when we uploaded our footage onto final cut we set it up wrong, we therefore lost our footage. Adding to this the Sd card used to film was damaged; we therefore need to film our music video within the deadline. We aim to do this by filming every day and loaning out a mac from school so we can edit straight after filming.

Wednesday 14 March
we have since re filmed and our near finish our music video, below is some videos showing someone of the footage we managed to retrieve from the damaged Sd card and what we have filmed.

Feedback




From our feedback lesson we have decided to make a few changes and addition to our music video.
1) The first addition is from the ending scene instead of our artist to remain down about her breakup we see her moving on.
2) Film more cutaways of the artist singing e.g. in the drama studio with a spotlight or a white background 


Our ideas have changed and developed further, we no longer see masses of the guy we now only seen snippets.
