Minor Task - Font for Digipak
While analysing digipaks, I realized the importance of fonts when creating them. When choosing the fonts that I will want to use I need to use clear and easy-to-read fonts.

Digipak Before going any further, I decided to analyse the album cover of Billy Idol's album "Rebel Yell" since the song I will be using for my music video is in this album.

Schedule - Music Videos
After discussing with the girls who will be part of the music video, we all agreed that the best time to film will be on a weekend in April when we are all free, probably 4-5 April, when the spring break starts.

Props - Music Video
For this music video, I want the visuals to feel a little messy and very real, so the props I'm using are small, maybe irrelevant objects, but which add to the mood of my music video.

I will also be using some makeup objects such as lipstick and eye pencils, and a bag in which all of these objects will be at first. An old video camera and phone will

Characters - Music Video
For my music video, the focus is on two girls who will represent and match the vibe and lyrics of the song.

The actors will not just perfect, they will have fun, dance, sing, all while being themselves, to prove and rebel against societal norms that women should be "classy", "elegant", "well-behaved

Location Recce - Music Video
Before filming the music video I decided to pick a few settings that I think would match the atmosphere I'm going for the most and imagine how the music video would turn out. Finally, I decided that I will be using locations such as: a bar in Bucharest + any other locations if I come up with any new, good ideas. This bar is a good idea since one of the actresses knows the bartenders in that location, which will be a huge help overall. Few pictures of the bar I will use: When
