Creating my album cover was the first time I had used Photoshop. As I did not feel entirely confident with the software, I decided to keep my practice album cover rather simple.
To keep continuity between my music video and my album cover, I decided to have the cover as the actress who played the lead singer in my music video. The similarities between these are firstly the actress but also the string lights that appear in the back ground of the video and on the band homepage.
I could not decide between black and white or colour, however, I believe both give the album a look that matches the genre.
If I had been more familiar with Photoshop, then I would have sharpened and brightened the colour to add a more ''pop'' feel to the album cover.
As part of my digi-pack, I decided to create the homepage for my band, Paramore. The homepage of my website includes a gallery, news section and direct links to social media and album purchases.
I thoroughly enjoyed creating this webpage as it allowed me to be creative and choose the design and content myself which helped me to understand the importance of the layout and the ease of access to each page linked to the site.
Here is my practice music video to the song ''Still Into You'' by Paramore. I really enjoyed filming and editing this piece alone as it means i can have full creative ownership over my final edit and that i can juggle my own ideas to fit the musics genre. For my coursework, i am considering doing a song of a similar genre to this as i found it very simple and fun to come up with ideas to fit to the bars of the song.
For my practice peace, I have decided to do a music video for Paramore's ''Still Into You''. I chose this song because it fun and has a fast beat in which i can edit to which will help me develop this skill for my coursework piece. I also think that this song is ideal to practice making a music video for as it would be difficult to replicate which removes the temptation to copy the original music video. I feel that using this song would give me a lot of options for content for the music video.
