At the start of the week, after getting feedback from our teacher, we decided to change two of the panels on the digipak to make it flow better when it opens up. Before it looked a bit jumbled and odd, but I'm happy with the way it is now.
During lesson times in the week, we started to make the text and then sort out of the layout for the digipak and magazine advert on Fireworks. we decided to use Fireworks as all of us three were comfortable with using that over Photoshop. After getting the text from dafont.com, we edited out the text and placed it onto the templates in Fireworks. We did this so that later on, we would just have to add in the pictures that we took and add in the artwork.
On the weekend, we started to film the shots in the forest. This didn't go as well as we had hoped, although we were organised, everything seemed to go wrong. We will be refilming these shots next Sunday with a new artist as the male we had before was a university student so it was hard for him to have many available days. We've now chosen someone in our same year that will be more available. Next week, we will start to film the train station stuff and the tent shots.
The key concept we focused on this week was representation. This was done through the typography and layout of the digipak and magazine advert. We also had to make sure that the message in the digipak would be something that the artist would say. Previously we had made the message more to connote the pop genre, but now we've changed that to enable a more indie feel. We also chose a handwritten font for the artists name and other typography. This was to connote his representation as a singer song writer.
The main decisions we made this week were the correcting of the digipak and changing who we cast as the artist. I think these were both positive changes that will enable us to do better in this coursework.
