Digipak Update

There have been some changes made with the digipak. Instead of having a burst of coloured powder, there will be the band's logo painted. This panel will now be behind the cd and the photo of the pigs head will move to the free panel.

This is just something I have made, splattered some paint on a paper and with my fingers, I have drawn the bands logo.

Digipak developments

On Friday afternoon, I went outdoors to take images of the trees. All images were taken from a low angle and captured some images to use for the front cover of the album. As it was already decided to take images of trees, that is what I had done. 

Contact Sheet:

After finishing the shoot, I had picked one image from the contact sheet and made some adjustments on Photoshop to make it more appropriate for Alternative genre album cover, such as making it in black and white and making the clouds more grey. 

                                                                                                                                      

The outcome:

Video Questionnaire

This is a video questionnaire which I have made with Ben to see if out music video fits in with their opinion:

Video Questionnaire

To understand why people favourites their bands and how they spend money on music, Ben and I have decided to ask students in our school with questions we have came up with.

Randomly, aged from 1618, we have asked questions from below:

Have you ever heard of the band ‘Woodkid’?

If yes… continue                           In no... goodbye.

1. Do you enjoy their music?

2. What about their music that appeals to you most?

3. Where/when/how did you hear about the band/music?

How do you listen to the music? Via…

How many concerts have you attended in the past 6 months?

What venues have you been to?

How much money do you spend on music? (Spotify premium, apple music, CD, vinyl?)

Do you buy merchandise? (posters, digipaks, clothing?)

Do you buy magazines? Which? One?

Do you listen to any radio stations? Which?

Do you visit a band's website?

How do you watch music videos?

What do you enjoy in music video’s?


Do you prefer narrative or performance videos?

1 out of 4 people we have interviewed knew who Woodkid were.  This shows that our audience are not teenagers, 

Shooting for the digipak

Yesterday afternoon, Ben I have arranged to do a shoot for the digipak. We did a studio shoot to capture images of the band front and back. They all wore a white shirt to contrast the black background. Also we didn't want much colour as the front is meant to be very dark and dull and more colour on the inside. 

We had used 2 box lights, a D3200 Nikon camera with a tripod. We used a tripod to reduce shake. 

These images are test shots to see which camera settings and lighting goes well together.

From this image, as the lighting is too harsh and creates shadow, so we needed to turn up the aperture and increase the lightings' brightness. 

From the image below, the lighting is too bright and as the lighting is lit from above, it still created shadow. 

The image below is too dark.

The image below I thought was perfect lighting, so we continued to use the same setting and lighting. 

I took all the images below for website purposes, but forgot to take an image of Ibz, so later we discovered that these images are pointless to use. 

Contact Sheet:

From the contact sheet, I had chosen 2 best images to edit. 

The two below are the best images I've chosen.
