Digipack: Initial CD Cover Makeup Test Shots‏

We began to test with some ideas we had for our digipack photoshoot as we were unsure whether we wanted to stick to the curly hair, soft eyes and natural looking persona and instead try a bolder look as sometimes music videos do not necessarily match the digipack. 

We decided to test both and see which we preferred. We decided to try a stark contrast between our video and have our model with straight hair, dark smokey eyes and bold red lips. 



This provoked a mixed reaction and after a group discussion we decided that all a good look for a more 'plastic' video, this did not fit to the genre of music we were going for and looked odd. This look would be more suited to a pop video. 

For this analysis we decided to conduct further research into the earth Gaia look we have decided for the music video as this ruled out any 'plastic' mis en scene.

  1. A fair start. I am not sure how you can jump from a person inside a room and her makeup there to the same person outside with completely different hair and a different look. You must fill in the gaps. Also make sure that the CD can be associated to the video easily. Why is the model all flower-earth girl in the picture above when she is not absolutely that in the video?
