Band change.

We have changed the poelpe in our band around, we have now decided to put james on the piano as his body type suits well with the piano and how it looks on camera. As for the guitar we now have Josh as we felt that his look matched how we wanted our band to look more than charlie and so chose him for the guitar.

Below is james and he will be playing the piano in our band an music video.

Josh is on the right side of this photo and he will be playing the guitar in our band and music video.

Dress change.

We have decided to change the look of our main singer as the qhite flowy dress didnt really rekate with what our songs says or what our band is aabout. We have changed to a little black dress so that it is still girly with a lether jacket and mustarrd yellow doc martens. This look then gives off the grungy girly look that we want but also fits our character and genre of music better.

Advert feedback.

The feedback for my advert was quite short in that i only had small things that needed to be changed. These were the boxes in that i now agree do not look good and also to make sure that the record label on the bottom is well know and to have more revies on it. They liked the use of the image that is on the front cover of my digipack and that it ties together well.

Digipack feedback.

My feedback from my digipack was that it was too plain and so to overcome this i could still have a plain front cover but foe the inside i need to add images of the band and lyrics from our songs to make it be more attractive and not look boring. the teachers said that they liked my font and to try and have the use of paint throughout out as it looked effective. I also had parts on the digipack that didn't really relate to anything for example the words saying 'what goes around comes around' it links to the name circles but doesn't Link to anything else so i am going to put lyrics from our song 'Save me' there instead.

However Miss hammond did not like my front cover and said that it was too plain and said the oppsite to Mr Ford. I personally prefere to have a plainer front cover and for it to be more exciting inside and so think i willl go with what Mr Ford said but Agree with miss that i need to make the advert more exciting and by doing this i am going to add more colours.

For the design of my front cover i am going to create my own paint patterens with different material to see which looks better for example, water colour paint or wall paint. i will need to test what colours and thicknesses look better.

I will also be taking some different types of band shots for the inside of my digipack and will try out different designs such as them all being together, or individual shots and then editing themtogether.

Week plan.

Me and Laura have struggled to meet up as we live so far away from eachother and timings have clashed and so this week we have decided to make a plan. Tonight (Monday) we will be staying after school to shoot the bands part in our video. we will be using a plain room in the music department and have sorted out the instrument that we needed. On Thursday we are going to be shooting the main parts that laura does and we are going to try out the look of heavy makup and short hair and see how we like it and what our teachers think for the dratft version.

Wig problem.

The wig that we have ordered says that it will not be arriving until the middle of November and so this may be too late for us for when we need to shoot our video. We have two options for this and they are listed below:

1. Our first option is to look for another wig that will come before we need to shoot and hope that the quality is as good as the first one we picked.

   2. Our second option is to re-design how we want our main character in the video to come across. For example, if we were to have the wig with big hair then we would keep the face quite plain as the hair would be the main attraction. However, because of the wig problem and Laura having short hair we thought to go with an opposite approach. this approach would be to have the face made up more with stronger makeup as the hair will not attract our attention to it and also we could still keep with the grungy look.

For my final digipack and advert.

For my final digipack and advert i need to create my own paint designs that will go on to the digipack and advert. I will be doing this at the weekend and will do different designs and take photos to then decide which ones i think will work best.

The hair style.

As Laura is featuring in our video and has short hair we have resulted to getting a well made wig. We wanted to keep the look of long flowing hair and so to achieve this agreed on a wig that we thought would suit. Below is the wig that we have chosen as it looks in good condition and is the style we want.
