Drafts done on Photoshop

These drafts that I've done on Photoshop include pictures that I have taken but they haven't been manipulated in any way i.e. they have no filter over it. I just wanted to see what it would look like as a rough copy.

I tried to vary the pictures that I used and changed the positioning of the text in each one. I did this because I wanted to show how the different compositions work together and how they each draw attention and focus to different parts of the photo. I also tried making it look like an 'indie' music album cover by the white font and lines and dots to emphasis they writing and which one is the song title and artist name.

I will be showing these drafts to a focus group and list the key feedback and try to amend the initial picture into the final product.

Drawn drafts of Album cover

Mock ups for Front Cover

I did these drafts to figure out what kind of format that and I wanted on the front cover and where to place things. I will hand draw the drafts with the intended images drawn in.

Starting the filming process

I have taken photos of my first filming shoot.  For this shot we used artificial light to imitate sunlight.

The camera that I used was a Cannon EOS 5D-III

Directed Satellite Heart - http://vimeo.com/13560713

AND another Anya Marina song, Move you - http://vimeo.com/2830887

This video doesn't have a nature element to it.
It is different to the Satellite Heart video but more similar to the Artists other videos such as 'Whatever you like'.
I would still like to keep the nature element within my video because I think it wold work well and would be simple to do.

The Head and The Heart- Down in the Valley

Music video by Scott Coffey and Slater Dixon

http://vimeo.com/31176810

Similarly to Satellite Heart by Anya Marina, the element of nature plays a big part in the video.

I would want to have this element in my music video but down play it more, making the focus of the video more on the woman in it and her story.

This is more of an abstract obscure video. It shows a narrative but most of it is left to interpretation.
It goes perfectly well with the music.
I like the idea of the split screen and would want to include that in my music video.

I like the way the story is told however I wouldn't have my video in black and white but might add a filter to make it darker at times, making it look more interesting and textured.
