 Social Media

For social media, I edited and took the pictures of Matilde in the photography studio. For the edited pictures, I used Lightroom on my computer and on my iPhone. I tried to make the pictures have warmer, red colours to match the instagram theme.

I also used the app 'giant square' so that I could spread one image to three posts.

Besdies the video of Matilde that Mimi took, on the 'life' highlight, all of the posts are mine and I posted them all.

For the inside cover of the digipak, I decided to put reviews from different well known magazine companies on top of the image I took of her. I did this because I wanted to show to whoever bought the digipak that this is a successful l album.

I have finished the first draft of the back cover. I included a list of the song names and I also made my own record label called Fisher Records. I did all of this using photoshop.

Here are screenshots of the layers from photoshop.

Post Production Digipak Task

 Post Production Digipak Task

I am in charge of creating the digipak for my music video, and this is what I have done so far.

First, I took the musician, Matilde, into the photography studio at school. Since I do Photography A Level, it made the sense for me to be the one in charge of the digipak. I took photographs of her in the red jumpsuit and black heels she wore in the music video. I got pictures of her with a stool, because it symbolises her dominance as a strong powerful woman.

I also got pictures of her lying down and playign with cards. This also shows her as a dominant feminine figure because you can see her heels which represent femininity and the poker cards which show that she is smart and calculated.

This picture that I took is my favourite picture. There is a lot of V shaped lines in this photo, which in the photographic world represents dominance and power. She is also pointing her chin up, which shows her superiority. 

Here is the progress I have made on the digipak. I have just finished a rough draft of the front cover using photoshop. 

Shoot Day Analysis

 

1. What did you do the day before, to get ready for your shoot day?

 

The day before my shoot my group set up our stage scene because we knew that it would take a lot of time to set up on our shoot day. My group also got in contact with our cast and made sure that everyone was prepared to shoot the following day.

 

2. How did you feel when you woke up on the morning of the shoot day?

 

When I woke up the morning of the shoot day, I was super excited. I had packed all of the props I was bringing in that morning so that I would not be stressed when I woke up.

 

3. How well prepared were you when you arrived for the shoot, what did you have to do before you could start shooting?

 

I was really prepared when I arrived for the shoot. My group and I had brought everything that we needed. We had to finish setting up our stage scene before we started shooting because it was big. We also had to bring out all the camera and lighting equipment. Our actors also had to get dressed into their appropriate costumes and go over the dances we taught them.

 

4. Describe what the studio/location looked like when you started to shoot, how well do you feel you managed to create the look of your concept? How did you help set up?

   

 

The studio was set up like a performance stage. It had a big red curtain backdrop and four big beaming lights.

 

5. How did you divide the roles on your shoot day, what role(s) did you play? What were the key responsibilities you had?

 

Zoey was the clapperboard holder, and she oversaw timings and synching the sound to the scene. She also used the clapperboard to signify the end of the shot.

 

Mimi was the director and gave out the instructions to the cast and crew.

Emily was the camera person and recorded all of the scenes.

 

I was the lighting person and behind the scenes photo and video person. I helped control the lighting and I took pictures of everything on set.

 

6. What do you think that you personally did particularly well?

 

I was good at taking pictures and videos. I got a lot of videos and pictures that could be used for my blog.

 

7. What problems did your group have on the shoot day, how did you solve them?

The first problem is that our male dancer, Seb, had to leave at 13:30. We spent too much time on the stage scene and ended up running over the time he had to leave, so we had to film that scene quickly. Next, we forgot the cocktail glasses for our bar scene. This meant we had to use a shot glass instead and come up with something new. We also did not get to finish shooting all of our scenes in one day, which meant we had to film over the course of a few days instead of one. This meant that we could not start editing until later.

 

8. Which part of the shoot do you think was most successful and why?

The most successful part of the shoot was the stage scene. Although it took a few hours, we got a lot of shots, and everyone knew what they were doing.

 

9. Which part of the shoot do you wish had gone better and why?

I wish we got to shoot everything in one day. It would have made everything less stressful because we did not know when we would shoot the other scenes.

10. What was the part of the shoot you enjoyed the most?

 

 I enjoyed setting up the scenes and watching them come to life. Also, the performers did a really good job and ti was fun watching them in action.

 

11. What are you looking forward to seeing the most in the edit?

 

I look forward to seeing the fluidity of our scenes. We will try to edit them in an order that makes sense, and it will be fun to watch it come to life.

 

12. How well do you feel that your production group worked as a team?

My group worked amazingly together. None of us were close friends beforehand so it was fun to make some new friends along the way. We all got a long and every time we disagreed on something, we would always meet in the middle.

13. Are there any lessons you learned that could help you make your next shoot even more successful?

I learned that time management Is an important factor when shooting a music video. You have to split your time evenly, otherwise it you will be rushed in the end.
