Photos we didnt use

We took lots of photos which we didnt use for our cd cover for various reasons, we had lots of ideas but some of the photos which we took, didnt work as well as we had had thought.

We took this photograph as Ruksana who is the girl in the video and was going to include it on part of the inside cover for the album. After taking the picture we decided not to use it as we thought the quality didn't look as good. We thought that the frame of the picture was took really badly and we didnt like the shadow which is easily seen in the background and editing it out would look quite fake. We also thought that we should just include Jason Derulo on our digpak as he is the main person who the song is about, she just starrs as his girlfriend in the video.


We took this photograph of a heart which we created by changing the lighting in the studio and creating shapes with Ruksana's hands. We decided that when looking back at the photo that we wasn't going to use it as it looks quite blurry and unprofessional. We also thought that it looked quite close up and it would have looked much better if it was taken further away.

We thought that the position of this picture of Raees would would like a really good idea for the postion for our cd cover. We did not like this picture however as we couldn't get the lighting perfect and there is a shadow over his body which has been caused by the lighting and also the microphone. We decided to have a play around with the lighting to try to get our perfect picture.

I quite liked this photograph of Ruksana and Raees as I think the position looks really good. We decided not to use it as again we thought that we should not use Ruksanna to be on the album cover or poster. I also thought that the expressions on their faces were too different, and as they are meant to be showing this happy couple madly in love but on this photograph they are quite far away from each other and Ruksana's expressions on her face look quite moody.


We thought as a group that we would decide to create a close up Raees's face as Jason Derulo for the album cover. Once we had chosen our idea we tried to get a perfect picture by playing around with the camera. I quite like this photograph but the shadow and lighting ruined it. You can only see one side of his face as the other side is covered by a shadow. This ruins the phone image completely as it doesn't look as professional and doesn't stand out.


We thought that this photograph of Raees was positioned really well on the camera. After we took the photo and looked back at it we decided we didnt like the expression on his face. We thought he looked quite sly and looked like quite a forced smile. We thought that this wouldnt be good for a cd cover as people going to by this cd might also notice this, and on the video and the song we are not trying to portray in anyway that he is being sly.


This photograph of Raees we thought was quite a good image to use maybe for the inside of the cover. When we uploaded it onto the computer we thought that the quality looked quite poor and the photo didnt look good if we stretched it it so we decided not to use it. We also thought that the images in the background spoilt it as you can tell that it has been took in someones house and we didnt want it to look like that.


We also took a photograph when we was filming of Ruksana and Raees creating a heart by using the lighting, they created a shadow with there hands. After uploading the image we thought it looked really good but instead of using it on the inside cover, we decided to use the clip that we took on the music video as we thought that it would look more effective.


We also had an idea for the inside cover of putting lots of home images together to make it look like it has been took with a polaroid. Ruksana sent me this image from her phone which I think is really good as they look happy together, but we decided not to use it. As we are advertising Jason Derulo's album and not just the one single "It Girl" It would be quite stupid to use these because Ruksana is only part of one song, and not them all and Raees is the main person.
