Wild Things First Shoot: Friday 15th November

On the morning of Friday the 15th we conducted our first shoot at Penn Ponds. This footage is currently being edited. Until then, here are some raw images from the shoot:

We got incredibly lucky with the lighting on the morning of the 15th. We took advantage of the beautiful clear day by heading to Penn Ponds for 7:30AM during the 'Golden Hour' of sunlight. The second day of shooting is planned for the following week.

WILD THINGS - Storyboard

As our concept has become fully fleshed out, we decided to produce the finalised storyboards for the film. Whilst simple, the frames give crucial reference material for the film's production, and give a clear outline of the video's narrative.

Location Scouting: Penn Ponds

We've spent the last two weeks scouting out different locations to film. Here as some location photos from our first shoot at Penn Ponds, Richmond Park.

Ancillary Task 2: Magazine Advertisement

Below is our second ancillary task. We designed two copies of our posters in alternate white/black and black/orange colourways. We settled on the black/orange poster as the final copy for our task.

The first white/black colourway.

The final copy - black/orange colourway.

Ancillary Task 1: Digipak Cover

After creating a front and back cover, as well as an additional promotional poster for the album, we compiled them below to give a visual illustration of the makeup of the digipak.

Ancillary Task 1: Digipak - Designing Back Cover

For the design of the back cover of the EP, we began by taking the art-board from the front cover and using it as a template to build upon. We wanted to design a simplistic back cover that showed continuity from the front. 

We added small grass designs similar to the ones used on the front cover. This was part of our attempt to maintain the nature/artificiality theme of the front cover.

We continued by adding some brick wall designs similar to the ones on the front cover.

We added the track-list for the EP, and decided to use the Futura font due to its simplicity. The fact that its a sans-serif font makes it easy to read and compliments our production company logo. We also decided upon centralizing the typeface to create a neat, simple back cover.

Finally we added a small apple above the track-list and added our production company logo between the two brick walls.
