Back CD Cover

In comparison to the previous digipack that we had edited I mainly focused on the back cover this time, so I had put the image into photoshop and add small details like the barcode and the dolby digital.

Audience Feedback

We decided to show our music video to our classmates and asked for an audience feedback. It was excellent to hear what our fellow classmates had to say about our music video and to hear what strengths and weaknesses we have, this would allow us to improve our music video before the deadline. 

Strengths: 

• ·      Editing was good
• ·      Lip syncing was never out of point
• ·      Different shot types and styles
• ·      Strong Narrative, very conventional

Weaknesses: 

• ·      White balancing problems, one scene would be lighter than the other
• ·      The representation of the girl could have been more conventional and stereotypical

Analysis Of Music Video - Do It Like You

Above is a rap video targeted to a young niche audience. This caught my attention because this artist was able to use a series of camera angles possibly showing that their uniques style of rap and also the person is able to convey quite openly charm and charisma to win over the girl. Our production is trying to portray that one character is trying to use his charm and charisma to get the girl. 


In terms of our media production, it conforms to the postmodern genre as so does this video, this reason why is because of the artistic appeal it portrays, for example shooting the scene in a carnival and drawing attention to the bright lights, or music video is shot in the graffiti part of southbank and highlights the urban landscape. However it subverts from the entirety of code and conventions by the use of having a clear storyline as our media production and this music video tends to continually show. This therefore subverts from postmodernism because postmodernism does not generally follow the code and conventions of a narrative.

Music Video- StoryBoard Overview

The storyboard is the tool that allows us as a team to visualise our production before filming it allowed me to develop our music video from the treatment and shooting script, by creating a 3D representation we could discuss and adapt our video. We also used the storyboard to act out our music video and do a kind of practie run.

In this video I explain the storyboard and concepts of the film through my own thought process to help understand our creative process.

BACK COVER

This is our  official Digi-pack created by me and Graham Oddoye. As you can see from the image above we have decided to go for the artistic urban image, we thought this would best suit our artist Alex Jones.
The cover amplify's an urban atmosphere to its audience which constructs a hip and modern artistic background. Hence as you can see we have chosen a simple and yet stylish theme for the overall album.

Track List: Here are the tracks featured on the album
1. She's a Badmama-Jamma
2. How are you gonna up and leave me now (featuring) K.P
3.Superhero
4.Urban Life
5.Just Doing Me (featuring) GreyBeats 
6.Stay Real 
7.I Love Harris (Man I Wish I Never Leave)
8. If It Weren't For You
9. Pursuit

Typography For Album Digipack

Typeface selection

The typeface used for our project is a crucial for the overall design because the font helps to convey the tone and create personality. For instance if you are in the banking industry you might choose a classic serif font such as Garamond to convey dependability. Serif fonts are generally used to achieve an elegant or classical look. For a more contemporary look a sans serif such as Bank Gothic would be appropriate. Sans serif fonts can impart an appearance of confidence. We took this into careful consideration when designing our digipack and I compiled a bank of fonts and styles that we could use for our digipack and we came together after looking at the font in order to decide the most suitable font. And in the end we decided to use a more classic simple font type in white even though the product represents a young star we chose a simple font to balance the bright colours and give a professional look to our star image.
