Digipack Photo-shoot 1

After conducting our digipack research, we decided upon the look we wanted to achieve for our CD front cover. In the research we conducted, we were inspired by a number of things which enabled us to produce our final look.

For instance, from our research we established we wanted to photograph mainly/ only mid-shots and close up shots for the CD front cover, as this was a regular occurrence.

Also, we liked the use of natural lighting in Dido image shown below:

We felt the idea of peace and tranquillity of the outdoors mimicked/ represented the music genre in the way it is presented to its target audience.

Out of the shots we took there were 4 predominant poses/looks:

We were happy with the look of our model, but we had to rethink the backdrop- the dead trees give the images a sinister look, something we felt contrasted the look we were hoping to achieve.

Because of this we had considered and decided upon shooting in a different, greener area or our second photo-shoot.

Thinking about the locations we have utilized already, we decided to take the second shoot in Hall Place:

The estate has beautiful grounds which would give us the ‘greener’ backdrop we desire.
