Inspiration

 This advert for Schwartz Flavour Shots has recently been shown on TV. I love how creative this advert is with the colours and how it was captured. The shots of difference powders and colours is something that we all hope our music video will be able to present. Due to this particular advert, our group have now been inspired to find more ways to capture shots of the powder paint in the air, possible sitting in a tree and throwing down powder paint but then reversing it when editing.

Music Video Inspiration

Athena recently found this music video by The Paper Kites, and have a similar scene that we want in our video. The ending of this video includes a pillow fight between young children and through the use of the feathers, becomes quite a colourful scene. Our group started with the idea of using powder paint (instead of feathers) and a group of teenagers (instead of children) and hope that our shots come out as playful and happy as these.

Alice in Wonderland

I recently found this image of an edit of Alice, this is the type of look that we will base around our main female character.

Filming

Just a shot that Alice managed to capture with Rosie of the sky at dawn.

Alice In Wonderland theme

Today, Alice presented the idea to Athena and I about incorporating a Alice In Wonderland theme to our music video. Alice came up with the idea due to the fact that Rosie was wearing a Alice In Wonderland jumper when they recently went filming. So we all agreed with the idea, and thought of ways in which we can subtly show a theme of Alice In Wonderland, which included props such as tea cups, a top hat and a pocket watch.

Filming

Very early this morning, Alice and Rosie began filming in Forty Hall at dawn. They got some excellent shots of Rosie and landscape panning shots that we could use in our music video.

Album Cover Task

Our task was to create an album cover, which will help us in the future when creating our band artwork.
These are the steps to creating my album cover :

1. To start off I had to find a band name and so had to use a random link on Wikipedia. 'Present Arms' the musical was my first option, and I thought it wasn't too bad for a possible band name. 

2. The next step was to find an album title, and to do so I used a random quote and had to use the last four or five letter. Luckily the quote was ' lead us to good actions' which I think could be seen as quite a happy and youthful title for an album.

3.I then had to find an image to use for the front cover of my album artwork, so I used a random image from Flickr. The photograph that I used was very simple yet quite unusual so seemed quite suitable for an album cover.

4. Using Photoshop I created my final artwork, putting the album title, artist name and image all together and here it is :
