In our last lesson on friday we had to tricky task of creating the cover of our digipak. Rob had taken some photos in black and white the day before and had the idea of creating a collage of photos for the cover. But Jon and Ali thought that this would look somewhat unprofessional and decided that as the digipak has six sides it would contain too many photos. So instead they suggested that the inside cover should contain the same photo and be split up into three parts and the remaining three sides should contain a single photo for each.
Final touches of the editing process will take place over the course of the weekend.

Band Name and Album Name
Dave strongly advised everyone to come up with their own band names so that we could all create a new identity and logo.
Our group could not come to a unanimous descion so, Ali decided that whilst on a band name genrator web page, we had to take a certain name on the following page, whatever it was.
The result was 'Standard Meeting', which we all agreed wasn't too bad. And so Standard Meeting will be the name of our band and will be branded on our DVD DigiPack and our magazine advert.
We also decided that the album would be self titled.

Black and White
Rob and Jon felt that the photos for the digi-pack should be shot in black and white to continue with the black and white ideology from the music video. Rob took some photos in colour but we felt that it was much more edgy and aggressive to shoot in black and white. We took a range of photos including some of Jon holding his guitar from various different camera angles, including a shot from below to give the impression that Jon was arching over Rob and looked more dominant. We then took various shots of Matt (the lead singer)
Below is an example of our influence:
The Next Step
Our work is not done once we have shot and edited our footage to create a music video; we have chosen to design a digipack. This will consist of a DVD, of which we have to design the cover. A CD is obviously the main focus so we will be designing a case for the product, using conventions used by other records/artists, aswell as adding our own touches to make it our own.
Initial Ideas
- Rob had an idea of taking a couple of decent photographs, for putting on the DVD and CD cases. Jon will assist during free periods to do this.
Our idea for this is to capture the feel of the track, and to maintain the look we created in our version of the music video. Therefore, Rob will capture the antisocial feel with an element of music, within each photograph.
