DEVELOPMENT
When developing our video, I took several recce shots of the settings we had planned to use. I used a Cannon digital camera to take some, but also used a Pentax Spotmatic film camera to take others. The images from the film camera were developed with more striking and vivid colours, so much so that we chose to use some of them for our Digipak. Here are a few examples of the images we chose from.
After a lot of thought, we chose to pair the image of an abandoned car with a picture of the looming wooden beams behind it. The car would act as the cover, while the beams would be inside the CD case. The vivid blue of the sky is consistent throughout both images, as is a sense of decay and abandonment, which are some of our main themes. This particular setting is local and easily accessible, therefore the filming was relatively easy. We also used this place as a prominent setting within our video, adding consistency to our media products.
