this is my inside cover, this would be on the back of the booklet that would come out of the album so people would be able to read about the artist and what the album is about. i wanted to use these images because it allowed me to capture the fact that it was all about the couple and how they where together. i realised after that i didnt have as many images as i thought so i wasnt able to give the full effect. i did try to use the image of the studio as the background but again it was proving to hard to work all the images around so i decided against this as i was running out of time and didnt want to spend to much time trying to figure how it would work out

Here is an image of my back cover, you can see that i have used a couple of the images from our filming. I decided to keep it fairly basic as i looked at Ed Sheerans previous album and found that he had kept it fairly simple and hadnt put a lot of information on the back. As this album has been sucessful I decided to keep my cover similar to this as I was hoping for mine to be sucessful.

Below is an image of Ed Sheerans album cover.

today we went out to try and film a shot where i was meant to fall down using an point of view shot and also smash a bottle. however we had number of problems one of which was the weather. it had heavily rained the night before meaning the ground was soaking wet, and as i was meant to be landing on the floor i decided i didnt want to be falling on the soaking wet floor. as a result of this we looked around for another location we could film the shot and found an underpass where the floor was dry and i was able to land without getting wet.

when we was out looking for the scene we found an good location for us to film the shot where i would have to catch the bottle and toss it away again without taking my eyes of the camera. this took a number of takes because we had to co-ordinate a number of things, when the bottle was thrown, when i caught it and when i threw it away again. i also had to make sure i didnt take my eyes off the camera and kept the lip singing going all at the same time.

it took several attempts some of which were ruined by me not catching the bottle and others because alex had to walk alongside me and throw the bottle but where we were meant that on occasions he appearded in the shot which is not what we wanted. finally after several attempts we managed to get it right without getting to wet which was also a bonus!
Today we started our digipack, this is one of our ancillary tasks. We had to create a front, back inside and CD holder. Our teacher said that it would be easier to use a template as it has been used in previous years and has been sucessful.
Here is the template we used to make the digipack it made it easier to put our images on as it gave us something to work towards. It also gave us measurements to use on photoshop which was much help as i was able to work within the parameters

After managing to create one page of my website i found it wasnt so hard so cracked on and made the second one, this was just a simple get in contact page where users would be able to email into the artist and ask him questions, they would also be able to ask any information about the artist and get their answer on the website. this would also create a forum where people would be able to talk about the latest news on the artist, below is my contact page:


as you can see i have included fields so people are able to get in contact with the artist and sign up for a newsletter where they would recieve free information on a weekly basis

i have managed to figure how to start using Wix and have designed one page on my website already, this was my events page, i listed 3 events where the artist would be performing and included images oh the events, i took inspiration from other artists websites because most of their websites have a page similar to this and i felt it is a good page to have as fans should be able to see when their favourite artist is going to be performing live for them to see.

i started to design my website today, i am going to be using Wix as it is a good website that allows users to create their own website using a template or by using a blank document. it also has a number of videos that enable you to follow step by step guides in order to create a website exactly how you wish it to look.


here is the front page to wix. you can see that you are able to use templates that have been produced already or you can get a blank template and create your website from scratch. along the top you can see where you are able to access videos that will help you to create your website in the way you want it.
