PHOTOSHOOT!!

Today we did a photoshoot, which involved us taking pictures for our digipack. The girls changed into two different costumes for he photoshoot, in which for the first part, where we took individual photos/ photos in pairs they were wearing moore causal clothing. Whereas, in the group photos they changed into oufits that were more'dressy'. Overall the photoshoot went really well as we got a range of shots of them from different angles and we alos tried various different ideas in order to get good shots. Below our some pictures from the photoshoot.

What is a Digipak?

Today we starting researching digipaks, a significant part of the coursework. A digipak is a CD release with a cardboard packaging, instead of a plastic case. A digipak usually folds like a book as they consist of 4-6 panels. Digipaks include the following codes and conventions:

-Usually have an on going colour theme
-Include images of the artist/band
-Include the song names from the album
-Include lyrics (sometimes)
-Record label
-Bar code
-Spine
-Website
-Copyright Info
-Usually have a reference to the artist e.g. through colours, fonts

A record label would preferably release a digipak rather than a CD in a jewel case as it would be cheaper because the p-packaging is made of cardboard; thus making it better for the environment. Also a digipak is good for promo copies.

The added benefits for the consumer when buying a digipak is that it may feel as if they are receiving more. However, I believe that a digipak seems less important than a CD with a jewel case because a digpack can get damaged easily and it may be seen as less credible as they are used a lot for promo copies.
