DIGIPACK PHOTOS

Here are just a selection of some of the photographs we took while filming on thursday, it was such a pretty and capturing location that we decided it would be an effective place to take some pictures for our indie album cover. These are just some quick edits of the photos I did on Aperture but we are going to sit and play around with getting a vintage style photo on Photoshop. Each one is editing differently, and it produced a range of outcomes which all fit in to the indie genre as they are very arty. I'm really pleased with the outcome of these shots so far, overall it was a successful day both digipack and music video wise. 

I edited the hue and saturation of this photo as well as adjusting the brightness to give it a vintage feel, and making the image soft and enhancing the green tones at the same time. I really like this photo especially more after it was edited as it is very interesting to look at, as well as making you wonder about where he is and what he is looking at.
Again I edited the saturation of this photo making it a lot more striking as the blue and green tones really stand out.  The colours of these come across as quite unrealistic and dreamlike in the sense that they are so bold. I like this image as similar to the one above it makes you question what he is looking at, where he is and why he's there, it would especially make people question any relevance to the location.
I edited this so it had a very vintage/retro feel to it through the use of colours making the  tones a lot softer and darker which makes the image a lot less clearer to see and by blurring the background it makes the person looking at it focus a lot more on the actually subject and composition. 
A lot of the indie albums I looked at had a black and white photo as the cover,  I heavily edited the contrast in this photo making his facial expression unclear so he is still not making eye contact with the audience. I really like this photo in black and white as it is very effective, striking and bold.
I edited this one to be a soft, black and white image, it would look interesting with a hint of colour though. 



I only edited the saturation slightly in this photo to really make the green striking, this photo would work well as both a front cover and even a back cover.






I edited this by cropping and altering the composition in order to make the words 'advance' really apparent with the artist in the background so he is still part of the image but to make him the background subject I blurred the background leaving the main focus to the front of the image.
