Practice shots

This is showing some of the video's that we have taken these are some of our practice shots to show the kind of angles and scene we wanted for our final video.

This is the back of her album cove, this has continuity as the colour scheme is continued through out as it has a pink tinge over the top. and it looks as if she is in the same position but at a medium shot instead of the close up.
The position she is in is hunched over and slouched this is not normally the sexy, more confident image you see on an album cover.
The curtains and wooden stool make the image look more classy and old fashioned, it also makes her the focal point in the image.
The tatoo on her side makes her look trendy and having red hair shows she is different and trying to be a more unique artist.
The layout is typical to an album with the artists songs listed in numerical order to one side.

Rihanna album-loud

This is an example of an album cover.
The album cover is for R&B star Rihanna, this cover does not need to say the name off the artist because she has become so big that people know its her by the picture of her face. The albums name is "loud" and is shown across the bottom, the font used is thin and classy and fits in with the rest of the image.

The hair in the image is parted to either side as if it was curtains revealing the face. The shadow under the chin re-enforces the smooth curve of her chin, this has been edited in and fits in with the dark eye lashes. The red running through the image helps to produce a sexy firy image to the audience and with the naked shoulder it backs up this sexy image as it gives the impression she has no clothes on.
The record label that Rihanna is signed to is Def Jam and Roc Nation, Roc nation is horizontally integrated into Sony Media and Def Jam will join with Sony to produce and market her. This will help Def Jam to appeal to a wider audience that Sony has. When comparing Rihanna's natural skin tone to hers on the Album cover it has been lightened for the Album this could be to appeal to a wider audience which Sony has. Because Sony is such a massive business in all areas of media industry, they have a very wide audience by lightening her skin but still leaving her with her ethnicity so she appeals to all audiences.

The image contradicts the album title "Loud" because in the image she looks peaceful not shouting or being loud, this doesn't fit with the word loud, this is why they have used the more feminine and classy text.

The tattoo on her neck shows she's trendy and cool to the audience as the main age that will buy and listen to her album are young teenagers to middle twenty's at this age it is popular to have a tattoo.

Digipack

Digipacks typically consist of a gatefold (bookstyle) paperboard or card stock outer binding, with usually 2 or more plastic trays holding a CD and DVD attached to the inside.
A digipack is often used for CD singles or special editions of CD albums.

Have sorted through the sots that we recorded and realised we must re shoot or video as it does not have the effect we had wanted to achieve.
