Digipak Pages and Progress

Here are a couple of the pages which have been created. After miscalculating the number of pages which we have within the design of the digipak I have chosen to use the pages for the booklet in the digipak itself. The digipak includes; Biographies of the seperate band members, photographs of filming, and a couple of lyrics from the songs... Here are the pages before attaching them into the style of the digipak.

Mock up of Front cover (not going to use, as the image isn't the best)

The back cover

Outer layer of the Digipak

Here are the images for the outside layer of the digipak. This is where the Band members find each other, finally creating the group on the fourth image.

This is the firt edit with the lead female singer in, however the lighting was all wrong in the original photo, so I have edited the brightness so that its the same as the other three band members.

Page Editing for Digipak

Here are the thanks pages which I have created. Here we thank the public, family and friends, the company which represents the band and to our inspirations... Below are the images for the digipak.



Editing the colour of the Thanks page. This is for two reasons, firstly it higlights the two lead singers in the centre of the archway. Also it makes the writting easier to read.

Filming Images

Here are a couple of images which were taken throughout filming which I can use for the Digipak, as i love the arched look around the two lead singers. This will be good to add the lyrics/writting into the gap above the actors and between the trees. This image could also be used for the front page or back page.

Mock up of front cover...

Due to Hannah being in a Drama Exam Rehersal, we did not have the camera to upload the images which I took of the band members for the Digipak. However, instead of sitting in a lesson doing nothing, which we would never do, Ren and I decided to so a mock up of the Digipak Front cover, playing with different fonts, colours. However, the image which we used was cut from the music video, so therefore when editing in large scale the image will be pixilated.



Anyway, here it is...


I do like the way in which the XX looks like a reflection in the lake, like shown on the left with the reflected image of the two lead Singers of the band.

Guitarist and more editing

Also today, we filmed the guitarist playing the Bridge within the song. We filmed this in the park at Thurston, as we were unable to get to the lake location, as we filmed duing lunch time and therefore needed a near location as we all have lessons in the afternoon. This worked well as we found a couple of trees to film next to, allowing it to look like the other three locations, even though it isn't. We did three types of shots, extreme close up of both the body and neck of the guitar. We also did a long shot of Dan (the guitarist) playing the guitar.



Then, during our lesson today we edited this footage into the music video, over the bridge. This broke down the lake 'walking entrance', as before this editing session, this clip was very long. This new editing also makes the music veido snappy and exciting to watch.

Photos for Digipak

Ok, so today at lunch time I pestered and poked all of our actors within our music video, the two lead singers, the guitarist and bass player to wear the same or at least simular outfits to what they wore for the music video. Apart from our lead female singer, as Hannah was occupied by a drama exam rehersal, all opliged. So I now have the photos for the digipak. I plan to use photoshop to cut out the images of our actors and place them onto the backgrounds all all three locations. This is for two reasons. Firstly, what with the acotrs having jobs at the weekends, to be able to get everyone at the location at the same time is neon impossible. Also this 'cut out' look is very Indie, fitting perfectly with our Indie video/music/look.


Below are the images of which I have captured of the lead male singer, the bass player and the guitarist:

From these I'm going to photoshop them out and overlay with the picture of the three locations.
