CD

For the CD cover I decided to have It look like ash was crumbling down the cover of the CD. I wanted to do this because the crumbling effect is something that is referred to in all of the aspects of my artists digipack.

Spine of CD

The spine to my CD box is black so that it is in keeping with the rest of the album. I also used a dispersion brush in the colour of my subjects skin tone across the top. I did this so that when the album is looked at as a whole it will look as though the front of the album cover has carried around to the spine of the album.

My music video

Using Premier Pro

One of the challenges that I have faced using Premier Pro is the task of colour grading. I have mostly done this using the Lumetri colour wheel...

Through research I have found that the colour scheme that is most commonly kept to in both music videos and films themselves are orange and teal. For this reason I tried the orange and teal colour scheme on my video and found that it worked very well. Orange and teal works with my video for two reasons. The first being that it makes my footage look a lot more professional being that it is used for all of the mainstream music videos that we see every day. And the second being that the blue makes the background surrounding my subject in focus seem cold and empty. As my character is going through a break up in my music video it gives off the sort of sympathetic feel that I want it to. The orange helps to compliment my characters skin tone and make him stand out from the background in a more vibrant way. This is something that I want because it helps draw my audiences attention to the character whenever he is in a shot.

Re-shoot

During my editing I thought of a shot that would fit in really well with what I already have. The shot would be of my actor, but with books flying in front of him at random. As I didn't have access to my actor, I instead used a green screen...

I then through books and pieces of paper in front of the green screen, and then edited the image so that the green screen was replaced with my actor.
