CD Covers

All these Cd covers are the genre of rock/punk. These are the typical codes and conventions I want too follow when I create my Cd cover for my digipak. As you can see from all the album covers, the bands are obviously all well known dude to only having a small heading for the band name and all of them not having a clear and distinctive picture of the band members. This shows that the audience of these bands have a devoted following and will know what CD is theirs. Also the layout, colour and actually making of the covers, it seems to be they are very vibrant even though the typical sterotype for a punk/rock would be colours such as red for being British, black and kind of dark colours for that hard hitting music, but we see that they have very strong colours which is very out there. Also the very simple making of the cover related to the laid back attitude of a typical rock/punk band who don't usually abide by society's rules.

Filming

Me and my group have gone round outside with a camera and practiced filming. We all took it in turns too have a go at filming one another. What we started with is the basics such as: filming short bits; pausing, then filming another bit but the person has just skipped e.g walking through a door.

Other things that we done was tracking another person, filming close up, medium shots and far away. Different height of angels: low, over the shoulder and other shots such as that. Just so we could all get the idea of the concept of the basics.

After we got all got the hang of how to due basic filming. We then took the camera to a computer and uploaded what we filmed. We opened Premier Pro and edited many parts of the stuff we had with all different things such as: moving it about (swapping the end of the film to the front), snipping (quick changes.) adding effects such as fading, sound and slow motion.
