Adele Photoshoot Covers

Because we could not use any of the first pictures that Chloe taken, we researched Adele and her photoshoots. This is what we found;

As you can see all Adele's pictures are Close ups on the face and are Black and White.

So in the discussion we had, we decided that we will not need to worry too much on the mise-en-scene and the clothes chlow is wearing. All we need to concentrate on is not having her make-up so dark like the first time around and make it a lot lighter and more natural on her face.

Photoshoot planning

We all decided that chloe should wear something Floral. Like a summery dress. Also for the mise-en-scene we decided to use somewhere we had filmed the music video. So because of this we thought it would be a great idea to use Towneley Hall for the photoshoot.

Dress

Location 

However, whilst talking about this, Melissa reminded us that it is Adele that  we are inspiring to be like. So we should check out what her pictures and photoshoots for her covers look like. 

Photoshoot One Discussion

After looking at the pictures as a group we noticed a few problems with using the pictures.
Chloe had used heavy make up for the photoshoot. A lot of black had been used. We also noticed that she is only wearing a black dress. Making the pictures even darker. She also posed on a sheet. This sheet has creeses in it and down not give the impression of a blank background as Chloe was hoping for. Although these are great pictures, i personally would use these pictures for a music genre such as; Emo and gothic.

So this time we planned the photoshoot.

Photoshoot - Shoot One.

Because we are getting really busy with not only Media, but with other subjects too. It was difficult to meet up together. However the photos needed doing and editing. So because of this Chloe kindly taken the camera home with her and volunteered to take the pictures herself with a friend.

These are the photos that Chloe had taken;

Poster for soundtrack

After researching many album covers and choosing Adele for our inspiration, we now look at posters that have been used to advertise new songs. i know i have already looked at some and viewed many designs, i think it will now look at different posters for different genres.

Hip Hop Poster

This hip hop poster uses a font that is used within the hip hop industy therefore suites it well. They colours Blue and yellow are a good theme thoughout this design and work well and all match one another, giving the poster a balenced effect.

I don't think that we will be using this theme as the poster we will be designing a poster for a female soulful singer.
















Rock Poster - New order

They have used a very plain colour for this poster and using all the pictures from thier Album covers. They have printed thier band name is a large font so it stands out from the rest, also making the 'N' and 'O' bold and stand out more. I would not say this poster is very attractive but, i think we should also use a large font, but for the name of the album, not the name of our artist.

Next Part Of The Exam

For the other part of the exam we have to create a digi pack for our music video. This needs to include;
. CD Cover
. CD Back
. Inside Cover Photo's
. Promotional Poster

I have already reseached some posters and CD covers for our design, however because we now have a complete music video, for this i will research more artists CD covers, photo shoots and check out some advertising posters on both the internet and my magazines. This will show me what is expected of a music advertisment and help us all as a group come up with ideas for what we need to complete this task.

Youtube Feedback For First Edit

I believe that feedback from Youtube is the best type of feedback you can get. I think this because it comes from other people from other countries, ethnic backgrounds and tastes. On social networking sites such as facebook, it is friends tat comment on the video therefore can be biased opinions, therefore we will not recieve the best feedback you can get. So by posting it on Youtube we can get a honest and critical opinion on what people think of the video we have created.

We were happy to read this comment on the video. The viewer says that ''The images and the song itself were lovley''. We were happy to read this because it shows that the work we have done is coming across nicely and we are heading in the right direction with what we are doing. We also accept the other point they made about the lip synching being out of place. So because of this we will go over the rough bits and smooth them over.

Hopefully over time we will recieve more coments and critisim about the video so we can make it to the needs of our viewers.
