Back Cover of Digipak Construction

Creating back cover of Digipak

Firstly, I cropped the image as there were parts of it that were not needed and would have therefore wasted space. I did this using the 'crop' tool in photoshop. Then, I used the 'burn' tool to make the image sharper and the colours, bolder. I did this a lot on the car lights, as we wanted to emphasise the shine, seeing as the album is called, "My Time To Shine".

EMI Logo

Choosing a record label

We researched into a lot of music labels, and the one that stood out to us was EMI group, (Electric & Musical Industries Ltd.)

They are a British music company, which is fitting with our artist as he is a British rapper in the grime genre.

Also, EMI support Roll Deep and Klashnekoff, two leading grime artists within UK music.

Choosing Fonts For Digipak

In addition, I changed the previously red colour to grey as grime artist covers don't usually use vibrant colours.

Choosing Fonts For Digipak

I changed the original font by adding a bit of colour to make it stand out more and seem more effective. I chose to use the colour red as it has connotations with things that are serious, this also shows that we have thought about linking the appropriateness of name with the colour scheme.

Choosing Fonts For Digipak

Above is a font which we got from a website which we thought looked appropriate for the grime theme to use as a title on our Digipak. However, to make it look more original and suited for our specific artists' Digipak, I edited it in photo shop several times so that, as a group we could pick which one we preferred.

Half term- Continuation of filming

During the half term break our group found it a perfect oppurtunity to use the time off to finish off the extra scenes we were to include in our video.

There were two big scenes that we did which involvd the rapper doing the whole song, in two different locations, one in a park and then we on the spot had an idea as a group to use a rooftop as one of the locations, and recorded on there.

We then filmed extra clips of the artist walking through the park, a punch bag scene and the text message scene. These were all the main small clips that we needed to shoot in order to add to our video.

We took a number of photos of the exact filming spots and the angles in which we filmed some of them.

Brentford CLC Filming

We were lucky to be able to book the studio in Brentford CLC, in which we wanted to shoot a scene of the rapper in a studio, as if he has come into a real live radio station with a producer and recorded part of his track.

We used a variety of shots such as close ups, aerial shots, medium and extreme close ups.

Above is a picture of the scene where we used the microphone and headphones to make it look like the rapper was performing live on radio.
