Photoshoot 2

We needed to take more photos in order to complete our digipak as the photos we took on the first photo shoot were all very similar and the quality of the pictures when places in Indesign were not at a high standard.

Therefore, we took these pictures then used Photoshop to make them black and white which has been explained on my blog already.








Social Media Pages we created

We created a twitter account first as it is a main source of social media most artists use to get in touch with existing and potential fans which was perfect for our artist. We thought as it is a key form of marketing for many artists nowadays that it would be good to see if we could create the same sort of effect. We have been "tweeting" regularly in order to create an interest with our target audience.







We also created a instagram account to show pictures of our artists development, through-out our course work we will be uploading pictures such as the album cover, pictures from the photo shoot, music video locations to get fans excited for the release. We believe this is how real artists inform fans about up coming things in their lives.

Music Video Title

We have researched many music videos to see their titles for inspiration. When researching we hardly found any. We especially found none in our music genre. An example of one we found was Taylor Swift's, Bad Blood music video.

What we noticed is that it would not fit our genre of music as well as our actual music. For example, our music was very slow and emotional. 

The titles of Swift's music video was very effective, as it made the sequence seem like a action movie in which fitted her storyline. 

In using this concept in our video, it would take away focus and engagement in a emotion filled storyline and could distract and lose emotion, focus and sympathy from our viewers. 

Therefore we made a bold decision to not include a title in the hope to sustain attention and allow the viewers to fully understand and empathise with our characters. 






Shaky Beginning explained!

We started our music video with shaky footage of emma to create the effect that she is drunk, we believe this works well with the music.

We believe it may have one of the impacts on our viewers.

1. Allowed the viewers to understand how much Emma has drunk, and how unstable she is.

2. Empathise with Emma, as the camera work makes the viewer feel like they are unstable and drunk themselves.

3. Fitted with the odd, slow musical introduction to the song.

4. Feels like we are following her.

5. Shows her as vulnerable, as she walks alone.

6. May encourage confusement and engagement into what is to come.

7. Shows a long shot of Emma, therefore revealed Emma's costume and her hand holding a bottle of alcohol.

Updated Poster


After constantly looking and critiquing our poster, we have decided to edit it and take out the text saying 'Self-Titled'. We feel like this was irrelevant, and gave the poster too much writing. We feel it is more effective and clear to leave it as just 'Debut Album'.
