Poster Pre-production - Photoshoot Plan

The idea for our poster is to have an over the shoulder shot of the band from the female character in our music video. We are going to use the band for the poster as the main part of poster being them. The female character being less important in the poster. For the female character we need to get a girl with white hair. We will use Philippa who was in the music video, or if she is unavailable we will try and find someone different If we can't get Philippa, we have our fried Mica as a back up. We also want the band against a brick wall because its a very basic background and easy to find, but also because it looks like something from a grunge video. Also the photo shoot will be in black and white as we was influenced by the posters nirvana had for their band. The bands name will be along the bottom just so we don't ruin the picture and its out the way of the shoot.

Should this idea fail for a specific reason, we have a back up plan of the female character's shoulder and the band name on the brick wall. We could also print out a picture of each of the band member's, and she could have them on a sheet of paper whilst she is ticking off their names, indicating she has been with this band member.

This is our layout design plan for our digipak, which is annotated explaining our choices.

Digipak Pre-production - Photoshoot Plan

Our plan for our photo shoot for our digipak is to go for the idea of creating a whole face by using different features from all the band members (a rough example shown above). We shall do this by taking close-up head shots of all the band members separately, and using different areas of their face to put together.
We plan to take pictures on the 7/12/2015 at the band's band practice, in order so that it gives a real feel to the band members as they are rehearsing. The background shall be a simple white/grey background so there are no distractions and that it looks professional and the quality is good.

Lyrics:
No need to store my name, I'm on speed dial,
I just wish that you'd hang around for a while,
'Coz girl to me you're different from the most,
But all I am to you is another mark, on your bed post.

When it's over girl will you remember my name?
'Coz when we're done, you got noone to blame,
I've got you pinned on your bedroom floor, scream my name, I know you want some more,
But when it's over girl will you remember my name.

I'll never know who's your next victim,
What you're doing, or where you picked him,
But when you're bored I know you'll come back to me,
You'll be surprised, when I show you no mercy.

When it's over girl will you remember my name?
'Coz when we're done, you got noone to blame,
I've got you pinned on your bedroom floor, scream my name, I know you want some more,
But when it's over girl will you remember my name.

Digipak Pre-production - Photography

These are the images we are using for the front cover of the digipak. For our digipak, we will have an image of each of the band members separately with the 'Grind' logo at the top. We are using these chosen images as these are the most clear and professional looking images we have of the band members, and with the correct editing, I think the images will look well put together:

These are other photography we took:

This is the photo we are using for the back cover. We are using this image rather than the others as the band are all facing the correct direction and it is more in focus than the others:

Ancillary Task Planning - Digipak

For our first idea for our digipak, we decided to have a three way split. This would be created by taking a close up image of all of the band members separately, and taking a section of each band member's face, and then putting them together to create a face using all the band members.

Ancillary Task Planning - Poster

As an idea for the poster, I was thinking of a simple long shot of the band in front of a grimy, rock band look background which establishes the band. I like the idea of a black and white background as it gives the idea they are dangerous, which links to the background of shutters, a large, open background and shadows.
