CD Album Covers Moodboard
I analysed many Female pop artist album covers and I discovered that the images used are often close ups of the artist face another convention of the artist pose is they are looking straight into the camera giving the impression they are looking at us however they're many others that don't give us eye contact as we have some looking down and other directions. Also most of the artist have their hand in the frame either on there face or head. Some of the photos are black and white and then there is some that are full of colour. Another thing I notice was the artist facial expression are all different as we have some looking seductive by having their lips slightly open another basic expression was they have their lips pouting.
From analysis these different album cover I will consider using a close up of my artist face and suggest different hand gestures in order to see what looks best and in order to make them look more appealing to the male audience I will try to show as much skin as possible in order to make her look seductive. When i'm editing the front cover image I will consider turning the image to B&W and also enhancing colours used.
My Idea
My photos
In my music video the balloons are a prob that is often used therefore I decided to bring this into the photo shoot for the products, I believe using this product people will immediately associate it with the music video and the music video will link to the album cover and poster.
Digi pak:
Whiles shooting the photos for the Digi pak I set the camera frame to square as this is the iconic shape of image used for Digi paks. I had my model looking in different directions in order to have a variation also as found in my research there isn't a conventional way of eye contact. The camera angle used for this part of the shoot was close up as this was the conventional camera angle used as i found out in my research. Within the photos them selves many improvements will be used whiles editing in Photoshop the things I will consider are erasing the bra strap, add more images of ballons in background in order to make it more full looking also enhancing the complexion of the model and also using a variation of different filters in order to find what looks good and also so that it can look professional as possible. The image I am potentially going to use for the cover of my Digi pak is were the model has her eyes closed as I believe it is the most effective compared to the others as it almost gives the message that she has a lot of secrets also it makes her look intriguing.
Poster:
The poster photos where taking straight after Digi paks and I forgot to change the frame size therefore the first column images were not successful also we only used one balloon and I realised it was as effective so I used all the balloons. I change the camera frame to 2:3 there it has the iconic size for a poster. For this part of the photo shoot the camera angle used was mid shot as this was the conventional shot used for advertisement posters. Some improvements will be made when editing the photo as I will use many filters in order to find out what is the most effective also I will be enhancing the models complexions in order to give her the perfection look. The photo I will potentially be using for poster is the photo in the second column and second row the reason for this is I believe its the most natural look as it looks like there's no effort made with the way she's standing and holding the balloons this is a good thing as she gives the message to her audience that she's not fake and not constructed to the media standard.
