PP- Digi Pack experimentation

For the front cover of our digipak we have been experimenting with cutting out the girls in the picture and putting us on a different more effective background. We also plan t experiment with black and white and silhouettes. 

Here is our first try and cutting round the girls using Adobe Photoshop. 

experimenting 

PP- Cast Feedback

After our shoot with the younger PCD we asked them about how we found the shoot and working with us on the video. We got positive feedback and they all enjoyed working with us and are excited to see the final result.

Digi Pack idea

Our idea for our digi packs is to have silhouettes of the girls on the front as adults and on the back them younger.We think this will be very simple yet effective. We will have the digi pack very colourful yet very girly to link with our theme. We have looked at albums previously by the pussycat dolls to build up our knowledge of what makes a successful one. We got our idea from this, to have the girls posing in positions like in our video.

we are going to have the girls in black . we will do this on photoshop and cut them out change to black then put onto a background of our choice. We have looked at backgrounds such as our performance scenes. We decided for the older pussycat dolls to be on plain background and the youngers also to be on plain background make them stand out. On the front also we will have sparkles to make it girly and our logo.
 


For the inside we though of having it busier than the front we thought we could have the red carpet and limo fading into the park or the school as a young scene of the girls when they are younger. This will be in bright colours and we will make it girly and have sparkles all on it.which we will create on photoshop.

Our Viral Vid Concept

Our viral vid idea is to use the basic dance and choreography we have created and get others to send us there clips of the dance or something similar to the chorus of the song when i grow up. Our idea also is to have people laying the track via musical instruments or singing. 

We decided it doesn't have to be exactly the same but the idea of people to send in there own dance or something similar to it. We used creative arts evening to experiment this where we invited people to learn a small part of the choreography from our performance footage in our video. This was basic and very easy to learn. This also proved very successful as we got a lot of people and teachers involved.
