Second photo shoot with Black Diamonds

This is a collection of images from the second photo shoot we did on the girl band. We asked the girls to dress according to their personality traits - the girly girl, the neutral, the tom boy and the more rocky kind of girl. We think that the girls did an excellent job of choosing their outfits based on the criteria we gave them and you can really see the type of girl band Black Diamonds are. Also, Raeneece was finally able to join us for a photo shoot as she was unable to attend our previous one.

On going weekly production diary - what I did this week

This week we mainly focused on our animatic. This is where we drafted a storyboard of our music video and made it into a video with our chosen song behind it. We did this so we have a rough guideline of what each scene will look like and how long the scene will last. We did this on premiere pro so we had yet another chance to practice our skills which will come in good use when we later use the program to edit our music video.

Mood board

Follow Alice's board cartoons on Pinterest.  

This is a mood board of R&B inspired cartoons of females. We took this inspiration from a cd cover from Stooshe. We loved the idea of animating our girl band because it looks so interesting and it could be another reason to draw the reader in. The animation would go no further than the digi-pack as it would be very time consuming to animate moving footage (our music video).

Storyboard for animatic




first draft of advert

This is a first draft of our poster for our music video. We have decided on the color scheme of pink, white and black as we think it conveys R&B through the black and white and the pink conveys the 'girlyness' of the group. We know that the band is R&B but there is always going to be some kind of 'girlyness' in a girl group no matter the genre. The bottom strip is still undecided in terms of what needs to be said;we have confirmed that we need the title of the song and the release date but nothing else as of yet. The two logos are of iTunes and an already established record label.  There is a white background d because we were unsure whether it needed to be color or not. The less color the background has, the more attention drawn to the focus of the advert.
