The website (ancillary)

http://scarletharlotsweb.weebly.com/

This is the link to the finished website which includes the photos we took and some other information, we did want to have a link which would play some of the music from the band on it but the link wouldn't work because this would cost and the school couldn't pay for it. Underneath is an image of what the image looks like.

The website photoshoot (planning)

We did a photoshoot for our website because we wanted one good picture that would be big and take up most of the page. we got the idea to use paper cranes from our main theme being animals and a rustic and papery feel that we had on our digipak, we were keen to keep this going and decided to have some paper cranes hanging from the ceiling and have the main character as the focus of the photo because we didn't want to overcrowd the image with too many people but just get the main theme of the mask idea across that we've had in all the other parts and as this character was the leader it was more appropriate to have him.








The image has the main character in what seems to be a state of discomfort that keeps with the general theme that he is not in control or is in some way angry or unstable about his situation.

The filming (planning)

We decided that the part of the film that we had already done could be done better if it was outside the school and so we are going to refilm the start part of the film again differently in an outside location with slightly different scenes but portraying the same mood that we had planned before and so keeping the whole film fairly similar. We decided to keep the film that we'd already made and use it for advertising purposes and put it on the website or on the digipak.

Digipak completed (ancillary)

We took the last of the pictures needed for our digipak and so could finish it of on photoshop. We tried to keep the digipak design in a way that was like the original style of the Scarlot Harlots with the the crinkled paper and the use of animals and diamonds to create an artistic yet casual feel.


This is the back cover of the digipak and features all of the songs on the real Scarlot Harlot album diamonds that are one of the themes of the album aswell. Each song on the album has a different font so that each one looks unique, and aslo gives a different abstract art feel to it which is very much their style and is similar to the genre of the music, it will also appeal to the audience that the music is aimed at and keeps with teh brand.



This is the front cover of the album and features the band name in a distinctive way so as to extend the brand and make it stand out, it also has the album name that is the actual one from the album, which also has the different fonts for the letters. There is also the main character from the video which means that the masks is given clear importance as a recognisable marketing tool along with the diamonds and the animal.



Inside the digipak there is the other characters from the video and band along with a cheetah keeping with the animal idea, this spreads across the two sections to make one big picture.











This is the carry on from the previous picture which spreads across the two sections and has two more characters. This keeps the style abstract and similar to the rest of the things involved with teh band.







The idea of having someone falling came from the front cover of the bombay bicycle club's album cover but we kept the animal theme and had him falling into some crocodiles. All the characters are in their masks aswell to







This one is the disc tray which we decided not to over decorate but just leave with the main paper idea that is in all of the sections

Digipak idea (ancillary)

We came up with a basic idea for our digipak which will act as a rough guide for when we put it together using photoshop, it also helps us with the arrangement of the folds and where each part is going to be inside it.

The new storyboard (planning)

This is our new storyboard which has been changed to suit the new location and is more in keeping with the songs rebellious nature how we intended.

CD covers (research)

Weve been doing some research into other bands and cd covers in the same indie genre as the scarlot harlot track that were using. One of the bands I looked at was the hoosiers who are in the same genre and have the same sort of image. the hoosiers album cover is sort of arty as the music on it is more awkward and about more emotional topics, which is why the album is called the illusion of safety which gives an idea of all things being uncertain and that even the good things are just an illusion This idea is portrayed in the album cover as there are bad things happening but then these are covvered over by the things coming out of the characters mouth, which is a good use of imagery.










The other band that we looked at was the fouls and their album called antidotes which also has an arty sort of image and a similar depth through its choice of image as it makes not a lot of sense immediately but then makes the audience think and try to figure it out.
This is good because it engages the audience and also subtly displays the image of someone having colourful and nice things in their mouth but still looking a little bit sad which keeps with the convention of being a bit sceptical and to an extent paranoid about things that seem fairly small.
