Production Diary Ten - 02/12/2017

For this project we need to produce an ancillary text, consisting of a poster and a digipak. We have started to brainstorm some of the ideas for this and have also conducted a focus group on which ideas our audience prefer. For the digipak, the audience preferred our idea of using a double exposure; which is a photoshop technique where a face is placed on top of a photo of a thing or place (in this case a fire). The idea they didn’t like was where we placed fire over the top of a photo of our band performing. We also didn’t like this idea due to the framing of it and the fact we couldn’t do reshoots. So, we have decided to use the double exposure on the front of the digipak (with both characters shown together) and on the two flaps (with the two characters shown separately). For the back of the digipak our idea was to have a frame of the polaroid photos with the song names layered over the top. For the CD we wanted to have a fire; focusing on the same colour scheme of the rest of the digipak. Then we wanted to have another bonfire shot for the last frame.

Our poster idea is to produce a tour poster, with the name of the tour and the locations shown in the foreground with a fire as the background. This is much more simple but still has the synergy with the other products.
