I'm quite literally that weirdo with five colours in her hair.

On completion of our single cover and insert, we discussed replacing the found imagery on the single with our own productions, we tested the hair pastels we spoke of previously with this outcome (above). We're now replacing the initial cover of Mcfly with our photos, as we took more simply for cover artwork purposes, the one pictured above was just a preliminary picture.
This is how our newer front/back cover of our insert now looks.

Synergy, Chalk and cheese.

To create consistency in our project, synergy would need to be used between the CD cover and the magazine advertisement, and also to promote the artist and their music. We thought of using concurrent vibrant colours to not not only capture McFly's abstract, boy-ish nature, but to also integrate with the song we've chosen 'Five colours in her hair'.
Similarity is crucial within this synergy as it would create a wider recognition of the artists work if audiences were to see the single cover in a shop, after seeing similar advertisements in magazines etc.



I'm taking inspiration from this advertisement (found on google) which displays the abstract nature and vibrance we aspire to include in our piece. It also explains the conventions of an advertisement needed, in order to be successful and didactic.

Our prop for the video itself arrived today, 'Mungyo Hair Pastels'. Which the group all finding very exciting and have already tested the waters with them to see what our outcome will be.. I, on the other hand, am feeling whatever stress you can feel from having your hair chalked many different colours. The pastels were needed for Mise-en-scene purposes, and also to fit Andrew Goodwin's music video convention of a relationship between lyrics and visuals as we display our actress with vibrant hair and a lip ring.
'She's got a lip ring and five colours in her hair..'♫
WISH ME LUCK.

We also realise, if we're to film on consecutive days, the continuity will be a bit shifty as the colours will be in different places in each shot. So if we desire a fluid continuity system, we will need to take photos prior to filming, to recollect where the colours were initially placed, or to complete filming in one session to ensure the continuity system is consistent.
