Research - Template Testing




Today (6th December) during my media lesson i had to transform a badly designed digipack and make one for myself by sticking with the DO'S with out doing any of the DON'TS when making an ancillary product. 

We had a choice of a few very badly pixelated images and we had to use them and then pick from a selection of bar codes and music labels that our artist could be signed to. 

Here is what i came up with within an hour:
(Front&Back)
As you can see the image was extremely pixelated and this obviously made the digipack a little less attractive to the eye however i made sure that i added all the important information such as the bar code, copyright information and record label logo.


 (Inside)
I kept the color scheme the same inside the digipack and i also repeated the pattern of the cameras faded out so that the inside of the didgpack links together nicely with the outside of the digipack.
The left hand side of the inside of the digipack i kept plain however if i had had more time i think i would of added some sort of picture of a little bit of writing so that it didn't look like such an empty space.I also included the CD holder on the right side of the digipack so that there is a place for the CD to be placed.

Production- Progress review blog


Reflection of progress...

This is just a reflection on my progress so far. I feel as though my individual blogging before wasn't really up to scratch due to a number of reasons, such as my detail and using a wide range of media in order to present it better. 

Since I last evaluated my blogging I feel as though I've improved this by introducing new media formats and improving my level of detail when reflecting on what I've done. 

I think due to this slight increase I'd now raise my mark to 15/20. 

History of the music video!

Might be a bit late, but I thought I'd do a little blog about the history of the music video to give this project a bit of relevance.

Reflecting on our filming...

Skills Development

my one skill that i need to develop on would be to use a wider range of media techniques in order to make my work more interesting and enjoyable to look at.


Update Blog

THE MUSIC VIDEO WRAPPED!




After hours, weeks and months of hard work; here we are, it's been fun! ENJOY!



Considering the 1st Evaluation Question...


CHER LLOYD EFFECTS



RIZZLE KICKS DANCERS, FAST & STYLISTIC EDITS



VERNALLIS' THEORY, GLAMOR SHOTS & HIGH ANGLES 



'DIRECTED BY' SCREEN CONVENTIONS

'INTRODUCING' TITLE CARD CONVENTIONS




The Pains of Animation… Why?



Editing Final Touches PART II

So after our rough cut we had some final touches to add onto our video to give it that final pop art and youthful feel! The process is long and tedious but has great results! The effect is a sort of light strobe line that goes over the original image, this is the tutorial we used to help us;



And here is our process:

Editing Final Touches PART I


THE FILTERING PROCESS





ADDING STRIP BARS/LETTER BOXES




ADDING A STYLISTIC EDIT

In her lates music video, Britney Spears uses the strip bars in a clever and unique way by widening them as something happens within the song, we used this technique when the musical break kicks in for our song. We feel its a good stylistic technique to follow from because Britney is a pop star (much like our song is in the pop genre) and she has a very high production value glossy video (which is the kind of effect we want to give off with our video).

Production - photo editing and potential digipak CD covers







This is a digipak CD cover model and I have already started looking at the sizing of the photo to see if it will fit. This is an example.
