LINK TO DIGIPAK, ADVERT AND FINAL VIDEO



This is my Digipak for the album of my selected song, I used dark colours to link it with our music video. The colour scheme I used benefitted my work in ways such as linking the original artists album with mine.






Thisis the advert Advertising my Album and Single.

advert and digipak

I used various fonts and logos in my work and these are the websites I got my stuff from. Aswell as all them adverts I went onto NME website to view album reviews as I thought it could help me out with my advert, It wasn't a very good review so I decided to use my own intiative and create what I thought would help advertise the CD.

Pictures for digipak and Advert




























We went out and took a range of photo's, the images reresent our artist in the way that it shows she's different and it also links with our music video idea's.

Whilst deciding which pictures I wanted to use I thought about how I could add and show similarities between mine and the original artists work, I also wanted to link my digipak image to the advert I'm going to produce.

Album covers

On top of producing a music video I also have to create an advertisment and a Digipak. To help me out on idea's for a digipak etc I looked into the artists album cover and I found this helped me out with what sort of cover I wanted to produce and how I want my artist to look within in the cover image



.

I looked at the album cover, the back cover and the actual CD. This is the original cover and its gave me great Idea's for the image, font and colour scheme of my own cover. Theres also a cover for the Live version of her songs and I thought if I looked at this aswell as the original it would broaden my idea's.




There is a great difference between the back covers but I like the differences between both the cover and CD its gave me a lot to think about.

audience feedback

Audience Feedback is important and allows us to see positive and critical points, this will allow us to make changes to our work benefitting our audience.

To recieve feedback me and my group plan to publish our video onto youtube and from there post the link to facebook, I feel youtube is a successful way because people who don't know you will comment on it and share there views honestly where as friends may not be so honest incase they offend us.

As well as using social networking sites and the internet we showed the video to our media class and got written feedback from everyone.

health and safety



When filming the fire scene we had to think about health and safety, when thinking of this we thought of Location as we didn't want to film somewhere that was a huge hazard and could case the fire to spread, but we also needed to take into account that it needed to fit in well with the location of our filming. We chose a big empty field, the whole idea of it being surrounded by grass fitted in, incase it got out of hand we had a bucket of water not too far away so we could put the fire out. We also had to think about the safety of ourselves so we made sure we wasn't wearing anything flammable and we used long matches enabling us to light the dress at a distance, however everything went well and smoothly and after filming we put the fire out.




Filming Process.

For the filming process we needed it to be mid dark, not too dark as we would't see much in filming but we did need it a certain lighting for it to give the right mood in our video.

Finding time where all of us within the group and our actors were free added to problems with filming. Another problem we faced was how cold it got and it was unfair on the actors who had to wear a small amount of clothes.

Darkness was a huge problem, it limited us on what we could see in our filming and we even had to use a torch in some parts of filming although it added some great effects. On top of that I found when doing tracking shots I'd run into things without seeing them as it was so dark.

All of these problems resulted in our Filming being delayed and it took us more days than what it should have taken.





We took a few pictures what included images of me putting Ella's contacts in; Ella doing her make up me filming and Becca tying rope round Ella. These pictures were taken to show the sorts of roles we all played throughout the filming process.
