Organisation Of Photo-Shoot

Now that I have completed my logo designs I need to start planning the photo shoot and everything we will need for it, the location, the props we will need and when we will be doing it.

Location: For the location we will be using the drama studio during the day for some of our shots. The drama studio is a good location to use because of the space inside we can use and the atmosphere we can create inside it. We will also be doing it on the roof of a flat in the local area to get a good shot of the city and the artist at night. The night view of the city is very nice and there are a lot of bright lights during the night which will be really good.

Costume: The artist will be wearing all black clothing such as black jeans, black shoes, black hoody and a bandana in one of the photo shoots to show and emphasize his dark side and in other shoots he will be wearing bright and outstanding coloured costumes so we can see his much brighter and pure side.

Props: One prop we will be using is a plastic gun which will be used in shots where the artist is wearing all black. We will also be using a red flare in the photo shoot at night.

Equipment: The equipment we will be using is a Nikon Camera and also lighting equipment in the drama studio to set the mood and get the correct light to take pictures.

Booking: We will be booking the drama studio for a few days in the week to have our photo shoot.

Magazine Album Advert Analysis

This is the analysis of album adverts for genres Hip-Hop/Rap and RnB. I have analysed these album adverts to learn the conventions of album adverts and also see how they attract an audience.

Digipak Analysis



In this analysis I have analysed three music album digipaks. I have analysed two rap digipaks and one digipak from a different genre so that I can gain an understanding of how digipaks should look and what they should make the audience think about.

Music Video Feedback


This is the feedback we have received for our music video. We have gained a lot of good feedback based on the artist, the concept of the video, how it has been edited and the locations used for the music video. We have also received feedback on how to improve the video in terms of cuts and the camera angles used. There are parts in the video where a certain camera angle is used frequently and also where there are not enough edited cuts. Overall, we have received more positive feedback than negative feedback and we will improve on parts which need to be improved.
