DigiPak Mock Up

Due to Paper Shop Dave only going to the studio once they only got the instruments recorded. Their second visit is before I finalise my edit. But I thought this was a good opportunity to capture some photos for my digipak. This would allow me to capture moments of them working in the studio, as well as nice visuals of the studio. So I am going to go with the studio with them.

This is the plan of what the digipak will look like.

The front cover will consist of a band member sitting at the mixing desk working on the song. The lighting will be a harsh light from the front of the person to create a silhouette kind of image. This will be shot with a wide lens to capture a big area of the studio.

This shot will be shot at very low aperture, focusing on one dial on the mixing desk, creating a nice visual.

This is a basic portrait of one of the band members, having a central composition. But as they will be smoking the cigarette will create an interesting linear force.

This shot will be of the singer recording, quite a long shot, showing the engineer in the background through the window but blurred out as the focus is on the singer.

This shot will be a close up of an instrument holding a left composition, whilst in focus at a deep depth of field. In the background will consist of a number of keyboards.

This shot will be a flat image of the band, at a wide angle, just establishing their image, but nothing too complicated that'll take concentration away from the tracklisting. 

The overall theme will fit together nicely as all the shots will be in the same location, therefor all having similar lighting and exposure. Therefor there will be no editing issues to try and match the colours. I have a mixture of close ups with low apertures and wide shots that establish the scene.

I am planning to plan these edits with very low saturation if not, not saturated at all. Having intentional grain and scratches on the edit to make it look old and antique. This will work nice for my digipak.
