Weather research for filming

We plan to film most our music video outdoors therefore we will need to check the weather. This is so that we can come prepared for example coats and gloves if it is cold or maybe an umbrella if it rains.

Here is the first day that we plan to film. By using this method of looking at the weather, we can easily see the break down of roughly which time the weather will change. This weather chart shows that it will rain most of the day. This could be a problem for us as it may ruin the shots. The rain and the darkness could look really good in our footage as it would relate to the music well, but it could also not look to great.

We tried filming our footage in this weather but it didn't work. The wind kept blowing my hair in my face and this ruined the shot as you could not clearly see what I was singing. Due to this minor setback, we decided to film the shots that was going to be inside the house. 

Here is the second day that we plan to film. This weather chart shows that there will be no rain all day therefore this means that we can get most of our outside filming done on this day. It will be fairly sunny and warm but will still look effective in the music video.
We filmed the outside footage in this weather and it worked really well. There was a slight breeze which blowing my backwards. This looked nice and worked well in the shot.

pictures we took for our website and digipak

Some of these are already on the website we created, we thought we should have a significant look when people hear of Piper Young so we chose to have red lips that would be my trademark as such. 

Second draft

Production diary

Production diary:
Whilst we had been off we filmed a bit more for our  final draft and we had been editing and getting our website up to scratch, this is our opening page that we have finished, before we didn't have the pictures of me or the rose and we didnt know what the usp of our artist would be but obviously we have established the red lips and the black smoke on the background of our website so we decided to keep the font and the bigger picture of me going all the way through the website and on our digipak we are going to use the same font too.














We also started taking pictures for our digipak and set them up so they would  look like a digipak, we posted our second draft but we soon changed nearly everything about it because we just wasn't satisfied with the amount we had and how underdeveloped it looked. We show how we changed it further up on the blog.

Website so far

Front page 

Gallery

News Page

Tour dates

Store Page

Album Playlist Page

This is our website so far and what we have created from scratch, it isn't finished yet we have a few more things to add like the blog and news and more pictures on the gallery and we need to move the background picture of me more to the right as it needs to be near the edge due to the way the right hand side is very flat and finishes as a picture.

Digipak so far

Option 1

Option 2

 Final

 

This was the stages of getting our CD and the background of the CD, we wasn't sure what one to pick but we eventually went for the one shown with the background because it was more clear that this was black smoke which is related to our artist and our website.

Research into our title of the music video

Here are some potential titles for our music video. We decided to go with the idea of keeping the titles very dark and dull as this is mainly what our song, Change, is about.

Possible locations for filming

We have researched some possible locations for our day of filming in london to see where would be best suitable for our music video,                          
London Bridge, we thought this would be a good shot in the music video before we changed the idea but we did use it for the view to do a time-lapse which we did use.






We chose to go down there by train obviously as it is the most convenient for us to travel to london and back.

Camden town: we chose to go to camden too, this was for more of a grimey look for the music video as it provided a lot of graffiti walls and underground places where we wanted to shoot in however we did change this around after we did this because we wasnt satisfied with what we got.

My Digipak front cover

I chose this  one because i thought it looked most like a digipak cover, I could see this at the cover of the CD, the font of the name took a lot of deliberation on which one to choose because we were spoilt by choice but this was the chosen one.
