CD Case study 1 - Bryson Tiller

This is one of the case studies that I have chosen. It is the Bryson Tiller album and we did the song by him called let me explain. I have chosen his album because I want each of my designs to represent him and because he wrote and produced the song his design of his album would be best suitable. The back of the imaged is red this can easily be created on Photoshop or I could use professional photography lighting in the photography studio. The cover is very simple which I love but holds a much thicker meaning. This shot type on the back cover and front cover is all mid shots and that is the type of layout I am going for and the mysterious look especially on the back cover you see his shadow and the front cover is red I really like the photography used. The angle is used is very straight on but Bryson tiller is looking the other way and the emotion on the front cover I am very interested in the image because it is like he is disengaging with the audience and is focusing on the music and gives the audience a sense of mystery like I was saying before. Lighting is very dark and 

serious and matches the type of colours that have been used. The effects that have been used I think they have edited the images that have been use and I think focuses on the black silhouette effect so colour overlay on Photoshop. The text always in the middle for the front cover and back cover and is white so it stands out over the red and black I think that I will follow this layout because the text is very simple but makes a statement. I can use the colours that they have been used in a similar way and the layout of the cd cover. I want to use a font similar too has been used for this cd packaging because something bold would be to in your face and that's not how I want my audience to feel, I want them to feel a emotionally connected to the front cover so something big and bold wouldn't really go with the type of song we did by him. I can not find the inside of this case study because this artist has mainly used online such as iTunes to promote his album and it is not in stores that I have seen so in the style of this album cover I think the spine will be red with just his name in white in the middle as I said before his album packaging is very simple so I won't be adding anything too much to the spine. The colour will match the whole album. The inside of the cd the cd design will be red and black or white depending what goes with the imagery and the behind the cd design will be back to contrast the red so the writing on the cd will probably black to match the background. The left pane would be another piece of my photography and the background will be red matching the theme the whole image will cover the left pane. I am sticking to the colour scheme red, black and white to keep it organised and relatable to Bryson tiller as a artist. If I change my mind about the colours I will still get inspiration from the layout of the cd. If I have good photography I will add more pictures and possible make a booklet following the style of Bryson tiller.

Feedback from rough cut

Filming Location shots

This is part of the Saturday shoot using the mirror concept we filmed something like this before but we decided to use a better location something that is more exciting and it showed very because it was raining that day ad the mirrors had droplets on them so it was a good effect. 

Filming Location Shots

This is part of the Saturday shoot we filmed a part where it was in the street where a piece of graffiti was because we were told that we need more colour in the scenes that ready had so we had to add more and we also filmed in the Olympic park where he is thinking about the times where he had with her so it's like he is going back to the places where they spent the most time together.

Today's Meeting - Editing

 

In Today's lesson and group meeting we were working on how to add effects for our video in the  video above you can see we added the effect back and white because it is representing the past that they had together and to sure that it is basically not like that anymore.In the video one of my group members is making sure that the lip singing is clear and matched up with the song and making sure that the flashback is matched up with the lyrics.

Editing

Today we transferred the clips into the editing software and started to put the clips together and sync the singing from the video with the song, we made sure that we named our clips so that we don't get confused because as we were filming there was a lot of out takes that we used in our video as well as deleting some that were 1sec long. This is our first stages of editing and will be meeting up as a group during the week.

Pictures of shooting

                                         

We did another shoot in college the studio and outside in the college's field.

Pictures of shoots (Filming Sessions)

We filmed today the flashbacks for the narratives to go with the beat of the song this was basically going to the narrative of the song because he wants her back because he did something wrong and hurt her, so we decided that he would be thinking about the good times and wishing she was back to her normal self trusting him, but he messed up and now his by himself.

New Song - Bryson Tiller Let me Explain GROUP MEETING

As a group we have changed the song because the song was just not suiting our case studies in the best way it could and also the actors we picked wasn't cooperating in the best way and didn't know the lyrics well because the song was to fast and they were unreliable to actually learn it. In terms of the narratives there was little narrative in the song and we couldn't make much of it, there had to be dancing and a lot location shots and our actors was too busy for it to work. The new song that we have chosen is much better and requires less people and won't get too noisy in the studios and locations so would be easier to film so it works well with our timetables as well. As a group we decided that this would be the best option to take because the shoots that we planned to have was not going to well because the narrative we picked out was not being followed well.
