This week we have focused on collecting and researching ideas to include on our digipaks, this involved researching different typography styles. Aswell as working on elements of the digipak we also looked into the cost of one of our main props- the personalised license plate. After researching the cost of the license plate we plan to split the price three ways so we all have an equal share and input into the props, also we have discovered that we need to order the prop soon to ensure we have this particular prop in time for filming.

Typography Examples

These are a few typography ideas that Emily chose, we have yet to decide a final typography choice for our artist 'DJ DES'. We want to choose a typography which appeals to our target audience, therefore we want it to look young and fun-two things we would associate with both the artist and the audience.

Number Plates

As a group we thought it would be a good idea if we got a number plate with our DJ's name on it "DJ DES". We want to put this on the camper van at the beginning and end.

In today's lesson we began a production plan.......then our plan began to fall apart.

After considering the possible problems with our original location (Brighton) we thought it would be best to go back to the drawing board and start again with a new concept. The issues we thought of whilst considering Brighton as a location were:

• Financial Costs
• Cost of the props
• Weather issues
• Closure of the pier
• Closure of attractions
• Closure of the beach (due to weather conditions)
• People not turning up/being available at certain dates
• Transport concerns (the breaking down of cars)
• Having the time to go and carry out possible re-shoots
• Not being able to film in certain locations

Due to the genre of the song, it is still very upbeat and would usually be associated with happy emotions. Therefore we have decided to stick to these same happy emotions however we changed the original narrative.
