Contacting the band

For permission to use the song we have picked, we have contacted the lead singer Taylor Momsen via Twitter @taylormomsen and are yet to receive a reply.

Website Progress

The website for our band has changed quite abit as we now have added a full news/twitter feed with information and updates on the band as well as new song/album alerts, as well this we now have our own images as the main background and have made this images to suit the pretty reckless and imitate their style/appearence to appeal to the fans. In a more recent update we've made our news feed bow and menu transparent to make the background image more prominent.

Progress report 27th november 2012

Deadline for first shoot is exactly one week, we currently have footage of most of the main sequences in our video and will be uploading some stills from our shoot.

Digi-pak first draft design

Our first digi-pak draft using images found off the internet, we will be using our own images for our final design; this just a mock up.
The images used were not of our own, but instead were used for practice purposes only

Here we have loaded up the template set up for the CD case. Here we have transformed the image of cigarette ash tray to fit into the dimensions of the cd cover frame.

The image is then desaturated, allowing the first step towards coinciding with out genre color scheme.

Now we then added the image of a zippo lighter and blended in a subject's face.

The image of the subject's face was feathered down to blend into the background. The fill value was also changed in order to achieve this.

Although these are not our own images, this was only an example as to what our final digi-pak will look like. This served as both an example as to what we would want to achieve and as a test for what works in terms of aesthetics and compliance with the genre/band image.

Website design progress

Here is our website progress so far, we've begun adding our own images of the band we're using and will be adding our album cover once it's finished.

Website First Draft

This is the first draft of our website home-page, for our actual website we will be using original images of the band who'll be performing in our video. This is also so we can decide our layout for our site and get it ready for when we add our own pictures.
