Charlotte and Alysha have taken the role to produce the digipak together, by producing two panels each. The rose in our video really is the focal point to our story, in our video Claire the loves and nourishes the rose, but after the brake up she uses the rose to symbolize her emotions against me, by ripping it up and throwing it on the floor! So myself and the group have decided that we need the rose in more than one panel.
So far so good in terms of putting together the panels, Alysha has worked her magic again on Adobe Photoshop by creating the front and the back panels. Below is what she has come up with so far.
The back:
I love the authenticity that Alysha has managed to produce on the two panels. Especially the one above, the Mercury Prize award and the Columbia Records emblem makes this panel look outstandingly professional. The band's website and the record label's website is something you would see on a real album! The background of the hundreds of roses is actually just picture of a bunch of roses scattered on to the floor, which Alysha has then duplicated in photoshop around 50 times. It has made an outstanding effect.
The front:
The initial idea of Claire holding the rose an then eventually picking the rose petals off and dropping them onto the floor was my idea. We were filming Claire when she had to be isolated and in distress, we shone a bright light to the left of her in a dark room, with a white background behind her and it created this fantastic clear shadow! Alysha the group's photographer was obviously inspired by this image and it has turned out to be a great photo, with the necessary editing done to it in Adobe Photoshop.
To edit the original photo Alysha used a small amount of tools in Photoshop, she simply brought the contrast up and the brightness down. She then used the eraser tool to blur the edges around the pictures. She then added the text in the bottom corner, the same font and size that she used in the advert, it is vital that we have this continuity running through out our ancillary tasks!
