1. CD Case Study 3
Camera Shots/Angles/Editing:
A close up was used with an eye-
line match to emphasis Rihanna’s
importance in this album. I want
to have a close up of my artist in
my CD covers so that the audience
can easily tell who the main
attraction of my single is. A lot of
air brushing has been done in this
CD cover which you can easily tell
because there’s not a single spot
on Rihanna’s face at all. Some
colour channels have been altered
to gain this red effect in the
editing stage (probably done in
PhotoShop) and some level
changing to alter the contrast ad
brightness of this front cover.
Mise-En-Scen:
Rihanna is wearing a bright red lip
stick and has a similar tone of red
in her hair (that’s her colour
scheme, Red, white and brown). I
want my artist to have a
consistent colour scheme
throughout all the print product
images. Not a lot of make-up has
been done on Rihanna’s face
because she wants to keep that
natural look to her (just like the
way I want my artist to look like in
my print products, natural look).
The lighting is very impressive
because this picture was definitely
taken in a studio controlled room
with a lot of decent lighting
equipment. I will make sure to use
all the professional lighting
equipment in the photography
studio in my college.
