CD cover photoshoot





I have to create a CD cover to represent my music video, I therefore decided it would be a great idea to use Dillon who appeared in our music video in order for the audience to link the two. I dressed him in some trendy clothes in order for him to appear fashionable to appeal to the audience. I tried a large range of different shots and also a change of outfits to create variety.

Photographs


Here is a photograph of me wearing one of my outfits before going out shooting one of our scenes. We went with a jacket that was similar to one we seen Britney Spears wearing in one of her music videos. We thought the jacket was a good idea to use because it gives the impression I am confident and famous because I stand out wearing such a glamorous outfit. In this scene I am out walking my dog getting followed off the stalker. Because I am dressed up and wearing heels to go out simply to walk a dog is stereotypically something a celebrity would do e.g. Paris Hilton.

This photograph of Alysha, whose role in the production was the stalker, shows her wearing quite a grungy outfit. This shows that she unlike me isn’t as glamorous. We have also done her makeup to give her quite a creepy look.

My acting role

As one of my roles was acting I had to do lots of research of music videos with similar roles as ours in order to see what kind of connotations "pop stars" had in order to show them through my acting. Props that were used in this scene were the microphone and headphones in order to give the audience the impression that I am in a recording studio recording a song. This is a typical connotation of a famous singer.
