He then steals their shades and bandana.

This is the production schedule I made. 

This is a general release form which I got one of the members of my client band Mahogany Drum to sign on behalf of all the band for legal reasons. It gives me permission to use them as actors and release their material (their song) online as a part of my media project. 

These are my story boards, I have only put the first twelve sheets on my blog. This is because I do could not put any more large images on my blog. The first twelve sheets just over one third of the amount I made and only covers the first three scenes.

Planning Subsidiary Texts

Digi-Pak

I stated in my research what I would be taking what ideas I would be taking from my research. I started with some Initial Ideas.



I then decided to do a few draft texts to decide which font I wanted.

I tried various different fonts, I wanted a font which when you looked at it you didn't think of it as being typed on a computer. So I wasn't going to use the common arial or comic sands fonts. I have decided to go with the font of the word DRUM. I think its unique and you can do lots with it like fill in the letters or change the colours of the lines. I think it can be very recognizable after seeing it once. I have chosen to use the font for the album title Ice as the one at the bottom. It instantly stood out to me, it looks like its been draw by a crayon and not done on the computer.

I have decided to go with the background of this granite worktop. The lighting was good in the room, the granite surface was very well lit. I will be doing a close up so it is a fine size. The granite give as good patterned background shot.




What I hope to do for my album cover is too freeze an guitar pic into a block of ice and place into into a martini glass.

For my Album advert, I am going to make four penguins and photoshop on the bands heads onto the penguins.
