Revised digipak design

We decided to reconsider our digipak design, however we stayed with the same themes and concepts that we looked at previously. In our previous design we had a photo of the actual band SCAR however our music video didn't feature the actual members but did feature us acting as the band members. We finally decided that to stay consistent throughout the task, it would make more sense to have the same people we used as the band members in the video as the members shown on the digipak. To do this on our first day of filming we decided to take some photographs of our band members in formation, in the "band shots" location (Tolethorpe hall - outdoor stage- see Location), this specific photo was taken from above from a set of stairs looking down at a very serious looking bunch of band members, all of which are in their stereotypical costumes. To fit into our themed digipak we took this to Adobe Photoshop on a computer and began to edit it, to fit in with the rest of our digipak we put a sepia filter on it and then played with the colour, contrast and white balance to get it how it looks here (bottom right tile), we also added some overlays that have similar themes to the rock genre, especially reminiscent of tattoos that can often be associated with rock artists.

The inside right (Edwina Mears) and the inside left (Luke Doyle) are pictures we took when filming our "black room" footage of each individual character within our music video. these specific characters were the most important characters of the narrative we filmed for the specific song "As long as you know". Luke in this was our lead band member and vocalist, but was also the character within our video that was having this serious relationship with the female character played by Edwina. This lead us to further include the female character on the inside right. Again both of these images have had the sepia effect added to fit in with the sepia theme we have with our digipak, they have also been cropped to the correct size and we played around with the saturation, hue and white balance.

The last two pictures included, extra panel and back cover images are both images taken on the first day of filming of the location we filmed the band shots in. As we thought our location was so fitting to our chosen genre we believed it couldn't go a miss on the ancillary tasks. The image on the extra panel is a long shot of the outdoor stage with the drum kit set up and sat by itself on the stage. This particular still image we thought was again very fitting to the genre and is extremely similar to the final shot of our music video therefore creating links. Again the back cover was another image taken of the outdoor stage but form further up showing the stage form an extreme long shot and the empty audience chairs either side. Yet again this suits the genre well giving an urban moody feel that the rock genre is so often related to, the lighting in this photo is particularly a favourite aspect of mine that works well with the sepia. Effects that have been added are yet again the sepia to continue the theme and we played with the white balance, hue and saturation.
