Front cover ideas

For our front cover/inside our digipak we are going to include an image of someone with a teddy bear head on, adhering to the bear iconography associated with Kanye West.. here is our first attempt of this...

Fragmented Shots

We planned to use shots of glitter on a drum for our video, and these images show that the glitter effect worked,moving to the beating of the drum, we will use a section of this footage in our video.

naomi

We have cast Naomi to be one of the models in our video, myself, Kim and Mel will be the other models needed.

Thursday 13th October- Black Swan

Black Swan is mainly about RIVALRY PASSION and dance.
This has several similarities in our ideas and we get inspiration and influence from the film, the difference is ours is about modelling- not dance. 




Black Swan movie 
- Schizophrenic dancer monologue 

The film black swan is about an Innocent and naive girl ,obsessed with ballet who turns possessed and craves to be the swan queen in her ballet groups opening performance of a different version of Swan Lake. In the film we see the Innocent elegant ballet girl (perfect white swan candidate) battle with becoming her alter ego and the black swan who is poisonous, vivid and seductive.

Similarly in our movie we shall have a contrast between two of our models, one will be the old model , who is pushing thirty-five - near retiring and develops a drug/alcohol problem and is struggling to keep fresh and new and up with the new models... and her former self and latest rival; the new fresh faced model.

digipak drafts

Here is our first attempt of our digipak, we asked for feedback from people in our class and they said that the italics in the left hand corner were difficult to read.. to try and solve this problem we used a grey faded background underneath the writing. However, we don't think that it suits our digipak so it will need more playing around with..
