Updated Digipak Second Draft
This our updated digipak second draft made by me.
Social Media Rough Draft
Here is a list of all the social media posts my group want to make. This was made by Emily and I.
Updated Visual Storyboard
Zoey made an updated visual storyboard because we changed some of our ideas.
Updated Props List
Here is an updated props list to show all of our props and what each person is getting.
Set Design Meeting
My group had a set design meeting with Fran, the woman in charge of the set making for our music video. The meeting went great - we spoke about all of our sets and what she would be able to do for them. We had to cut our paparazzi scene due to the inability to execute it. Because of this, we replaced it with a scene of our artist doing her makeup and getting her hair done. We also had to replace our panels scene because it does not fit with our theme. We replaced it with a scene of her in a dressing room throwing her clothes over the dressing room screens. My group needs to buy a lot of props. Fran made sure to tell us what we need to buy, but what she can't get we must. Overall, the meeting we had was great and very informative.
Lighting Workshop
In this workshop I learned about the different types of lighting I could use for my music video.
One light I learned about was key light. Key light is the main source of an artificial light that someone uses when they are shooting a scene. Key lights can be used to illuminate a subject at specific moments. Another light that I learned about was the fill light. Like the key light, it illuminates its subject, but the fill lights focus is to lift the shadows created by the key lights. Next, I learned that if you put a trace on a light, it creates a a softening effect. This is good for scenes that are not harsh and for calm music videos. Another powerful light is the blonde light. This light is great for lighting large areas, and it is good if you have a big set. Also, the three-point lighting that I also learned about helps to light up a subject whilst eliminating the shadows around it.
The next types of lighting I learned about are beauty lighting. These types of lighting make the subject look better and they are used a lot in the beauty industry. First, I learned about using a ring light. The ring light became popular when Kylie Jenner started to use it in 2016. It has since been nicknamed diva lighting as it used by a lot of female beauty influencers. Another type of beauty lighting is bathroom lighting. If you’ve ever go into a hotel bathroom and notice why you look so good in the lighting – that is the bathroom lighting effect.
Another type of lighting is the blade runner lighting. This is used in a lot of sci-fi films because it makes everything look super extraterrestrial and futuristic. In my school’s studio there is also these light bars that light up in many different colours.
If I am in charge of lighting for the day I want to use a lot of beauty lighting techniques and some red LED lighting because it will add to the sensualness of my music video.
Digipak Rough Draft
Here is the digipak I made using Adobe Indesign. I made this by looking up 'red aesthetic' on google images and downloading pictures that fit my songs aesthetic. I went with red because red will be the primary colour in our music video.
Updated Final Cast List
My group decided to change our cast for the various reasons below.
In this essay I discussed representations, branding, audiences and conventions used in my products.
