This was our final product for our magazine cover, we wanted it to be really interesting, different and something that would capture readers to want to hear more about the artist. We aimed for an advert where we could show what would be in the music video without giving too much away...
e.g The bath bomb, the scenery, and a small snap of Ella holding flowers at the bottom.
1. The bath scene
2. The scenery and outdoors
3. The outfits and flowers props we used
The advert gives curiosity, wondering and a magical feel to it. We switched up the colours of some of the photos and tried to almost tease the audience with actual photos we took on the days we filmed on the day! I think in a way its more authentic to do this, it goes against the conventions of close ups of the artist, instead having close ups of what is to come in the music video and what the artist is about.
****************
We really played around in photoshop as we weren't sure what entirely what we were doing! Overlaying photos and changing the opacity was a fun idea as well as inverting our photos to swap the colours completely!
As a last minute thought we added the scanned in picture of the strip from where the disposables were developed and also inverted that to contrast with the normal coloured photos.
It was important to capture the dreamy, mystical and magical aura of our video and also our song as it would play a key part in who our artist (Sea Oleena) is and the vibe of which we thought would go well with her song!
