More Digipack Experimenting

I will be using a black background for my digipack as it reflects the morbid tone of my music video. I have continued experimenting with ideas, this time using screen grabs from my music video. These are some more examples:

Re-filming

At the beginning of my video there is a short, five second clip where my actor was not singing in time with the music when filming and was therefore impossible to sync with the music. I decided that this clip was spoiling the rest of the video so I decided to refilm the clip. Luckily it was against a white background which is not too hard to find. As the actor goes to the same school as me, it was easy to meet up at lunch break and spend ten minutes refilming. This time I tried to concentrate more on my actor while he was lip syncing to ensure that the footage I got was useful. By doing so, I realised that I needed to refilm a few times to ensure that he was in time with the music and that his facial expression matched the mood of the video.
Having studied Theatre Studies for three years, I have spent a lot of time learning how to get into the mindset of a character. I used this to help my actor by asking him what emotions his character would be feeling and having him experiment with facial expressions until we found one that worked.
The next stage for me will be to capture this on the school computers and add it into the timeline on the editing software that the rest of my music video is on.

Experimenting with Digipack Ideas

Using the ideas I had for my digipack, I experimented using my own photos and others from the internet to see how how my ideas translated onto the software. Using Corel Photo-Paint 11, I edited the images, placing them on a black background which matches the colour scheme of my music video. I am aiming to portray an atmosphere of lonliness and isolation with the singular images on the cover. These are some examples (they are only experiments and not neccessarily what the final product will look like):
