Ancillary text planning 
Full digipak draft on paper






This is the paper draft of one of my ancillary texts (CD case). As you can see from the images above it includes the front of the CD cover and the back of the CD cover, also two inside images and a CD and DVD. All of these pieces of the CD case include a picture of the model, making a different pose, which is what I hope for my ancillary text to look like. The inspiration for my ancillary text photo shoot is the photographer Terry Richardson, below are some examples of his work: 




The reason I like his photo shoots is because although they are very controversial they are also very 'clean' (as in the white backgrounds, bright lighting) which I think looks extremely effective. I also like the way he has teamed both background and lighting with simple hair/clothes/makeup, when all of these factors are in the same image they work really well together to create something that is extremely simple yet equally as effective. I hope to try and recreate this type of photo shoot for my ancillary text.

Actress change

Unfortunately I have had to change the actress in my video. Due to employment Lucia was unable to film on weekends, and as she goes to Hull College it meant that we couldn't use the green room at college, we could have filmed on nights however I prefer natural bright lighting for my music video. I have decided to use my friend Bethan as my actress from now on. Bethan also has been dancing from a young age so she is comfortable with the production side of the process and as she goes to the same college as me it means there are more opportunities to film. This change has brought a delay into my filming process however I feel that I can get a lot more filming done.
