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 :

Filming

We have decided to begin shooting in the next two weeks. We are hoping to film the dinner scene with 'Rosie and her family', therefore there are a lot of people involved in this shot and so needed to find a time that would suit everybody. The scene involves Rosie, Alice's brother Billy, my parents and Sinead who are all acting as a family and will take place at my house.

Vlog

Here's just a quick vlog that Ms Foster took of Alice and I creating our storyboard.

Plan

Here is a quick plan that Athena created about the various shots and order of scenes within our music videos.

Mood Board

Permission

This email has been sent to Polydor records, asking for permission for Alice, Athena and I to use Ellie Gouldings 'Starry Eyed' for our music video.

Location

So Athena, Alice and I were thinking for the setting of one of the scenes in our music video. This shot is to show Rosie with a family ( who will be played by my parents, Alice's brother and Sinead) and to portray and her unhappiness when she's even with her family and how she does not feel she fits in with them. This scene will include the family having dinner, so a dining room is needed, and we're going to use my dining room...and here it is.
