Possible Costumes- 'Miguel' Actor

The reason I have chosen this outfit for 'Miguel' is because it is similar to the outfits that Miguel has been seen wearing in public. I may decide to also have the actor wear glasses similar to those Miguel wears too.

 

 

Possible Costumes- 'Travis Scott' Actor

Costume Idea for 'Travis Scott' Actor

 

 

This costume is based off of what Travis Scott wears himself, and also from the results of my survey. The survey results said that people expect rappers to wear brands such as Supreme (shown in first image) and Nike.

 



Equipment List needed for footage & shoots

Cameras and related equipment

·        Canon DSLR 650D

·        Tripod

·        Hand-Held Camera Stabiliser

·        Variety Of Lenses (for different shots)

The reason I need this equipment is to be able to gather the right footage for my video. The camera mentioned above is the only camera I have access to, apart from my phone's camera. I don't think that a phone camera would be suitable for shooting a music video because it has a much lower resolution compared to the DSLR. My phone's camera only has an 12 megapixel resolution, and the DSLR has a 16 megapixel resolution. The reason I will use a tripod is to get stable, still shots. This is because it is a preferable alternative to getting hand-held shots, as these can often end up shaky, unstable, and out of focus. I will be using a hand-held camera stabiliser to gather smooth shots which might require the cameraman (me) to walk around to follow the action. I will use a variety of lenses to record different kinds of shots. I will use shorter lenses for indoor and close range filming, and a larger lens for wider shots and long range shots.

Lighting

·        Soft Boxes

·        Strobe Lights

·        LED Lights

·        Natural Lighting

The reason I will be using soft boxes is to make the main actor stand out amongst the shots, this makes them the focus of every viewer's attention. Strobe lights will be used to make any dark areas brighter during filming. LED lights will be used similarly to the strobe lights, as they will be used to make dark shots brighter. I will use natural lighting in most shots, but accompany this with the other lighting equipment if it is required for the shot.

 

Digipak Mock Up- Alternate Version

For this version of my digipak I have decided to take inspiration from Miguel's existing album cover for 'Skywalker' and his soon to-be-released album 'War & Leisure'.

The images in this cover have actual meaning, and are not just random pictures put over the 'War & Leisure' album cover. The explosion is a representation of war, and the other image of Miguel with his arms in the air must therefore represent leisure. These images are put over the album art for Miguel's upcoming album 'War & leisure'. The sandy desert background of the art may be related to war, as many conflicts take place in sandy areas of the world such as Afghanistan or Iraq. I am unsure what the link between this cover and the song is, and it is completely possible that there is no link.

This may be the case because Miguel has talked about the song in an interview, and said

"We were just having fun in he studio. We were just laughing like. 'It would be so easy to do one of these songs.' It just came out of a moment of fun."

 

This new version of the digipak features the track list from Miguel's new project 'War & Leisure'. The single 'Skywalker' was the first track of the album to be released. I have chosen a military themed font for the track names to fit with the theme of war, as well as the explosion on the disc. The sound of the song is the link to leisure, as they all have a generally positive sound to them due to the cadence of the songs. They use a major cadence which gives them a happy/upbeat sound.

Digipak- Mock Up

 

(There is no track list because it is a single)

This is my first draft of the digipak. There are some things I want to add/ change in the future, such as adding a lyric booklet with some exclusive 'behind the scenes' photos from the music video shoot(s). This is because I have seen other albums which use different photos to those used on the digipak's front cover.
