4. Any criticisms of our video?

Easier to read what is happening, I didn't really understand the bit on the sofa, the make up scenes are dull, no, none, no, try and make story more obvious, I did't understand the ending, a bit cringe, didn't get it, not always quite in time, typical of genre could of done something more exciting, too much focus on the lead, no, story was a bit unclear, the ending, a bit confusing as to what the female character was doing, clearer story, not really/ explain who the boys are portraying, it takes to long to tell what the story is, a tiny bit was out was sync, the best looking and the best made video, some of the camera angles were dodgy, no, final shot of male characters after hand on shoulder felt weird, none, ends in silence for too long, none, too many close ups.

Summary: 

1. Girl who manipulates men in order to get what she wants. Someone dies.

2.  Peoples thoughts of the video was that it portrayed the RnB genre accurately.

3. The use of black and white that runs alongside the use of colour.

4. Story is hard to understand a bit too vague.   

Changes to DigiPak

Our original plan for the digipak was to have six images in order to fill a basic template for our digipak. Our images were good however in order to get a higher level we had to create a larger 8 sided template with a folding case which opens up into 3 other pictures. We have kept the black and white theme and have also included our own logo called Wolf Productions.

Risk Assessment For Filming

For the graveyard scenes we are outside, this means the weather could potentially effect our ability to both film and transport equipment. To avoid this we need to make sure that we check the forecast before filming the graveyard segment.  

For the stage scenes and mirror scenes we are inside a venue where only our group is present and therefore it should go smoothly. The only thing we need to ensure is being looked after is  our equipment and that there are no electrical hazards such as open wires. 

Lastly, the bar scenes could be done either at a social event or when the place is empty; if it is during a social event that we decide to film we must be aware of other people and how they may potentially damage our equipment or interrupt our filming obstructing us from completing our task. If we do it when the area is quiet we will have less to worry about.  

Possible Font Styles For Our Album Cover

Album Cover Photos

As a group we have come up with a few album cover options, we used a certain style that other R&B artists use where the artist is the key focus of the cover with the artists name in a simple font but not necessarily bold. This is creates the impression that the artists is seen as confident this is because the fact that the album cover only really contains a picture of the artists tells us that they do not need anything else to get people to recognise the artist and to buy the album. Here are our final few options of our album cover:

Filming Photos

As we have a very small budget, we had to come up with a way of creating a stage scene, this involved dimming the lights and only having one light source that we could use as a spotlight, for this we used the projector in a classroom. Here are a couple of photos of our set up:
