Before designing the Digi pack I have undertaken some additional research to help with our own design style. This is a design publication called "Little White Lies" which gives monthly information about artistic films and anything else film related.  I really like this graphic style and is something we would like to incorporate into the CD case as well as the poster. One thing I noticed in the design of the publication was the bright colours and impacting typography that was used. This really helps the audience engage with the design and would ultimately increase the chance of them listening and purchasing the music. The magazine also has very few adverts used throughout it as well as very high quality, artsy photographs which have been used to great effect. We can imagine that this magazine costs much more than typical magazines and would most likely have been printed using high quality printing presses such as lithographic or Rotogravure.



Each page is completely different and utilizes a range of colours and textures to help compose each scene. Another thing I noticed was how the designer had thought about how the scene would have an impact on the viewer in terms of both pages working together. So for example, in the image below we see the camera projector which is shining light on the woman on the opposite page. This only adds to the continuity of the design but this ultimately makes it more professional and striking as each double page is another piece

Date 1:

Sunday 27th - South wold (10:00 to 6:00) - Couple montage scenes

Saturday 3rd- Filming the room scene

Sunday 4th- Filming the room scene

2. How have you organised this?

We have set up a group messenger between all the members in the group. This has easily allowed us to directly message each other with arrangements regarding the filming and planning of the music video. One of the main advantages to this service is that it is quick and immediate and is a platform that everyone has access to. If any of us have a problem we can communicate this to everyone in seconds which been greatly beneficial in helping us organise the scenes. Through our research and development of the location we all took turns in suggesting possible locations. After some time and deliberation we came to the idea of using south wold for the beach scene. We liked this location because we thought it would be ideal to shoot scenes of the couple along the beach and on the pier/arcade. We have decided to use Norwich and Thetford forest which we also thought were suitable locations. Upon these decisions and in class time we also researched opening times for Thetford forest and worked out travel expenses e.g. car fuel and parking tickets.

3. Has it proved easy/difficult to organise?

 As mentioned above through using social media and online platforms such as Facebook Messenger the organisation of the filming, locations, timings have been made considerably easy. Although, the main issue was arranging the timings for our actors and everyone to film at a suitable date. We had wanted to film much earlier but one our actors were unable to meet the date so we have consequently pushed the date back to commence the filming from the 26th and to finish on the 4th. Although this is frustrating I think it is better to wait and use quality people with acting experience as this is ultimately what will make the narrative more believable and therefore more professional.
