Plan For Digipak Photos

For my digipak design i would like the outside to be like a cave with a photo of my artist in that cave. This represents ignorance. However for the Inside I would like it to be beautiful nature with a strong green theme which represents coming out of the cave of ignorance into the beautiful world outside of  knowledge. With a hidden message of, 'listen to the CD and your mind will be expanded. You will be taken out of your cave of ignorance into the light of knowledge'.

Cast List

Dad - Brian Swallow

I chose this person because they are the right age and is actually a father. This person is my father and therefore that makes it easier to convince the person to do the filming as well as him being freely available to help me. He was also inclined to help me as he is my Dad. My Dad was also helpful as he acted as a chauffeur.

Mum - Val Maybury

Brother 1 - Daniel Maybury Swallow

Brother 2 - Myself

Lead Guitarist and Singer - Matthew Gillion 

Drummer - Rowan Foster

Rich Man In Suit - Aaron Blake

The opening Shots are filmed in my living room. I chose my living room because of the ease of access and I chose a living room because it is the conventional room for when a family watches the TV. One problem that I encountered is that the lighting in the Living room is poor. There are no real hazards or risks in my living room as well as it being cost free as it was in my house.

This is a photo of the theatre at my college. It is where I have filmed my newsroom scenes. I chose the theatre because it represents the theatrics of the news world and because I needed an easily accessible large room space, which could fit a newsroom set in it. There are only a few hazards and risks that I needed to be careful of for example jack leads, which were being used to look like the performance was legitimate. Another risk was the camera equipment. There was a large amount of expensive equipment which actors and artists needed to be aware and careful of when near. One of the problems I encountered whilst filming here was that there were long periods of time where certain actors were waiting and they were not being entertained. In future when I shoot in the theatre then I will do one or two actors in a session over a shorter period of time. Another problem encountered was that, because there was so much filming to get through, the time allocated of 2 hours was not enough and I could not stay later due to the college closing at 6. However, one advantage is that filming at college is free. Here is a picture of the distance and journey from my home to Wyke College, which is the location of the theatre.

Here is an image of my brother in the Peak District. This is one of the shot locations of my film. I wanted to film in the Peak District because I needed a mountainous area. I chose this specific location in the Peaks because of its scenic topography. It has a peculiar tree near to the top and under the tree is a strange hobbit hole. Its abnormality and mysteriousness made it perfect to represent the message of knowledge and learning that I am trying to portray. It was both difficult and easy to organize film here. It was easy because my brother lives in Sheffield and very close to the Peak District, however getting to Sheffield from Hull is quite difficult for someone who cannot drive. Although, my parents wanted to see my brother, so they offered to drive me to Sheffield and then take us both into the Peaks. One of the hazards that came with filming in this location was that the weather made the ground slippy and difficult to film. A video below shows an example of my lead actor slipping it was hilarious but a very dangerous risk, which could not be completely prevented but it could be minimised. Here is the distance and route from my home to the peak district.
