Weekly production diary

This week I have completed 3 sections of the digipak: The front cover, the CD case and the back page. Shaista and Annelie are completing the rest of the digipak as I am editing the music video.

Update on filming

Filming in the Tesco aisles went well with Romano and Shaista. Unfortunately Annelie could not be here to shoot with us on this occasion. As well as in Tesco we also took advantage of our surroundings and filmed in Costa cafe and under a bridge.

More filming

Today we are filming the café scene. Since looking at possible locations, we have decided to film in the local Tesco branch which is very big and so we could potentially film in the aisles also for a change of atmosphere or to give the impression that we are shopping. This scene will be incorporated into our music video like the reminiscence scene where Arabella imagines the good memories that she once had with her boyfriend (Romano Lewis). We have also asked for permission to allow our team to film there. We have also gone to Costa café to ask if we could film there also as a back up and part of our contingency plan. We are looking to spend about 4 hours filming to ensure we have lots of footage for our music video. We may even use both locations as they are walking distance from each other.

I will update you on how filming the café scene goes a little bit later on :)

Digipak progress (2)

This is the back cover thus far which I am yet to complete. At the beginning I had spaced out the songs to much which left me no space for any of the writing at the bottom, which I realize is essential for making my back page look like a genuine CD case. As you can see above I have begun to type some of the description.

Digipak progress

I realize I haven't updated in a while so here's a quick update of what I have been working on. I have completed the back page, the inside left and the CD case. However I do not particularly like the inside left cover so I think I am going to change it. 

General update

*Further to this, we are continuing to film our other scenes however have changed some locations. We will now use the dance studio, the filming studio, a café and a grocery store as we felt they looked much more professional.

Font and Logo

I have edited this via photoshop. The lips were slightly challenging because we wanted it to look like a real kiss. We used the eraser to create the white parts of the lip.
