Shotlists and Storyboards

This is a photograph of our shot list, it has a brief description of every shot, its time length and the camera angle and movement.

This is a close up of our storyboards showing the descriptions more clearly.














This was a sheet with all of our lyrics on, we annotated them with our ideas and what we thought the origional meaning was. We also broke the song down and calculated all the timings of lines and verses, this gave us a much better idea of the shot legnths and camera movement.

Costumes and Props

Costumes

ALEX
As Alex has a similar style to what we chose for the costumes, we have chose the following outfits from ASOS.com based on the knowledge of Alex's style.

Skinny jeans.

Formal Shirt (Dressed down)

Plain polo shirt.

Stipey t-shirt.

EMMA

Our model Emma Yates has her own lookbook online (www.lookbook.nu/emmayates)

so we have taken the photographs of her outfits from that, it is exactly how we want her to look, classy and sophisticated but also sexy. She is perfect for our music video.

Props

Vase and flowers

These used in the opening of the music video, a still mid shot of the vase on the floor with the flowers damaged and falling out of the vase - the damaged effect shows there has being some sort of violence and the flower suggest it is something to do with a relationshipsor a loved ones.

Photo frame
This is used to show a picture of the couple also in the opening of the music video, which establishes the couple that are in the video and the relationship they once had. It is also used later on when the male in the video is lying on his bed looking at the photograph as if he is remembering what their relationship was like.
 

Digipak 1 - Analysis

This is the front cover of the Kooks' album 'Inside in Inside out' Their first album was a huge success in the UK and the beginning of a new British pop band. The cover is very simplistic, this is shown in the use of black and white and the framing of the shot. The bands motif can be seen in this shot with the use of acoustic guitars, amplifiers and drums showing their passion for music and being one of the few bands that write and play all of their own music. The mirror on the far wall adds interest and dimension to the shot revealing more than the eye would initially be able to see.
The text is in the centre of the album and is bold and very clear, the album name being in red creates a dramatic feel and shows its importance to the band and its importance to the album.

 This is the reverse side of the album cover 'Inside in Inside out' The back of the CD usually displays information about the playlist and song order, the record label, and the copy right legalities -usually in small print. This image is almost a mirrored image to the image on the front of the album, although the band have been rearranged and the photograph is more out of focus in order to make the information stand out more. The blurry effect merges the colours and gives a more realistic, imperfect approach to the photograph. The font is all in capitals, simple and bulky which adds emphasis and reflects that the band are all male, and simple with what they produce. The layout is easy to understand, with an image filling most of the area, the blank areas are filled with information. The primary optical area is the area in which the songs are listed so the buyer is immediately drawn to this area, however the legal information has been placed in the 'dead zone' because it is considered less important to the buyer.

This image is the insert of the CD, it has been created by a collage of photographs which reveal one full picture. The image includes close ups of the band in what is thought to be their personal time, this gives the buyer an insight into a day in the band members life and make it more real and personal. The images are a mixture of colour and black and white, other effects are used such as colour fade and white wash, so that the images blend and merge together. All of the way across the centre of the digipak there are lyrics to all of the songs, the font is very small and hard to read, but does not distract the eye from the image which I think was intended. The purpose of the fold out would be to further the entertainment of buyer, show the band in more detail, involving their own lifestyles and giving more value for money when the CD is purchased.
