Editing Update: Choosing The Images

Having taken so many photos during the shoot, we had a huge selection to choose from. We did this by copying certain photos each of us liked into an additional folder, which narrowed it down to about 20 images. From here, we just discussed what we thought would work best, and also asked fellow classmates for their opinion too.

We have decided the front cover will be a close up of the main actor in the music video with the powder paint splatted over her face. It is a very strong visually eye-catching piece and really suits the iconography of both our music video and album in general.

For the inside left, we have chosen to have an extreme close up of her eye, which is again another very powerful photo.

For the inside right (which sits behind the CD) we have gone for a close up of her lips, which links to those which appear in our music video. However, we are also considering keeping this and the CD plain matte black, as too much colour may be overwhelming.

Finally, for the back cover, we have chosen a back view of the actor, i.e. it is the back of her head. We will align this either to the left or the right, leaving a black space for the song list to go.

We are really happy with the images so far, and have been tweaking them in photoshop - slightly altering the lighting, contrast and saturation levels to make the photos reach their full potential.
