Colour Scheme for digipak

We have create a rough colour scheme we intend on following through our digipak. As you can see the main colours are black and pink because we feel as though those two colours suit an RnB girlband. We think that the colours flow well together and they would work well on an advert or our cd case. We want to ensure the use of pink because that colour we connote to femininity/ pop and although the group is mostly an RnB group we still want a hint of pop in their as it helps reach a much larger audience as pop is such a dominant genre in the industry.

On going weekly production diary - what I did this week

This week me and Miriam focused more on being organised for the video shoot and for the girl band. We created chacacter profiles, props/costumes/euiptment list, productions schedule, shooting script and some initial ideas for the branding of our girlband. Each of these things contribute massively to the way we will continue. By being organised in terms of what we need, when we need it and where we need to be with who allows for minimal disruptions for the filming of our video. Next week we intend to continue the branding of our girlband ready to begin out digipack.

Photo shoot 1

Today we carried out our first photo shoot for our girl band. We had them dress in all black as we wanted them to have that elegant look but still wearing gold chains and hooped earrings for the R&B look. From the shoot we came out with some excellent photographs and I was able to see how confident and comfortable they all are with each other. This was also one of our first chances to talk to the girls and discuss our ideas for the video in which they all thought we had some good ideas going.  Unfortunately one of our members was sick that day but we have already scheduled another photo shoot with her. Here is a few images from our shoot.

Band ideas in choice of fonts

We have selected these fonts because we think they are suitable for a R&B girl band. We are yet to decide on the colour of the font so for now we stuck with black. Each font is different and different things about the font made it stick out to us; sometimes it was just one letter that we liked. We especially like the first font in the name Black Diamonds as we were able to use icons for some of the letters and we feel as if it looks R&B.
