Risk Assesment
Here is the risk assessment for the first day filming of my music video. I've highlighted the most likely risks I may come across during filming and come up with ways in which to avoid each hazard.
Shot List Filming Day 1
This is the final shot list for 08.12.13 for the filming of the music video. I went through the song and planned out every shot I needed, exactly how long the shot needed to be and exactly where the shot was going to be within the time scale of the song. I have also colour coordinated the shot list to show witch shots have priority and what will be filmed and when. I printed off a copy to take with me on the day so that It would be easy to get though the shots needed efficiently.
Props
In the music video there wont be many props. I want to keep the shots with the artist as simple as possible. The one prop I would like to use is a vintage snow globe. I want this to be the focus of some shots and be a kind of symbol for the video. So that if the audience of the video will see a snow globe similar to the one in the video they will associate it with this video.
Here are some images of the snow globe:
I really like the intricate detail on the prop and so I would like to use some extreme closeups of the snow globe within the video to allow the audience to see the detail of it.
Final Digi Pack and Website
Final Digipack
Here is the final digipack for my artist. When printed out, from left to right the digipack will fold.
I decided to use three basic colours as the colour scheme throughout the digipack and the website.
I wanted the digipack to have a 'retro' or 'modern' feel and so by using blocks of bold secondary colours and using a overlap of white layers I managed to create my desired effect. I wanted the digipack to reflect the mood of the album and I believe it does.
I decided to use a very famous quote from Walt Disney as I have previously seen quotes in other artists digipacks from their own idols. So decided to use one for my artist. I decided on the Walt Disney quote as it it very famous and so someone reading it could relate to the quote.
Final Website

Here are some of the pages of the final website for my artist 'Reverie'. This is the Home page, I decided to introduce the artist briefly and advertise the most recent album 'Dive Bomb'. After some research of other artists websites I found that often on the first page there is the artists most recent album or single and so I decided to use the same advertising technique to promote the album.This is the page which the website visitor can use to contact the artist. I decided to add a map to enable easy access to the contact information of the main office for my artist. Many Artists have a contact page on their website to enable people to contact them easily.
Here is the merchandise page with a variation of products that promote Reverie as an artist as well as their most recent tours and albums. I've made the products look similar and fit into the general theme of the artist.
This page is the page for all the upcoming tour dates and locations for concerts. The majority of artists have a tour dates page as many of their fans would like to attend concerts featuring them and so to make them more accessible.
Tickets can easily be booked direct from the website and there are links to the booking pages.
CD Cover Design Process
The program I used to make my CD cover is GIMP 2.8 (GNU Image Manipulation Program)
Before creating the canvas for the CD cover the dimensions needed to be considered. Here It shows the dimensions of a CD cover in inches but this can easily be converted into pixels or centimeters.
The canvas must also be at at least 300dpi and RGB colour.
First I created a 4.75" x 4.75" inches and bucket filled it with a dark grey colour.
Next I opened the photo I wanted to use for my background, on a new layer. To make the white areas transparent I colored to alpha those areas using a tool in gimp.
After doing that I created a colour gradient of 6 colours on another layer and rearranged it under the now transparent photo.
Now I added the 'splatters' on a nes layer with a pre-set brush in white ink. To make the splatters appear to blend with the background and have some transparancy I used the 'overlay' mode in the layer settings.
I then continued to add the text in my preferred font and the other decorations.
Final Song Choice
After brainstorming ideas for all four of my possible song choices and after weighing out the pros and cons of each song I have decided on the one that I had the most realistic ideas that would be simple to arrange but with the most effect.
I have chosen to use the cover of the song Somewhere Only We Know by Lily Allen. I personally love this song and my initial ideas for a my music video suit it the best. I really like the simplicity of the song and how, even though the song isn't the original, the song conveys the deep emotions of the original but also creates its new meanings and emotions for the song. The song was covered as part of the production of an advert for the retailer John Lewis. The advert itself is very compelling and inspiring and so has inspired to create a music video for the song that is equally as 'magical'.
Here is the advert:
