Final Music Video

This is the final version of my groups music video. Throughout the video we used a range of different camera shots, editing, transitions and locations. We spent 7 days filming the video, and 3 weeks editing it, on final cut pro.

Ancilliary Task - Poster

This is my poster for the anciliary task in my A2 media coursework, where one part required me to make a poster promoting the single or album that our group would be producing.

My poster consists of a blue background accompnaied by red and white text saying my groups band name and the name of our hit single 'Just close your eyes', which is featured in the album and a picture of our band taken at a photo shoot we did. The poster is very clear and simple to understand with no additional captions that may be distarcting to the reader and not get the message form the poster accross. I also chose them three colours as they are distinctive form each other and are easy to read, espeically with the white outline on the text. Therefore, making it as easy as possible for the audience to know what the poster is about.

The picture of the band is also key to the design of the poster. It shows three members of the band standing with their focus on the reader, while the fourth member is kneeling down to add a bit of height to the image, and make it more appealing to the reader. Each member of the band is also doing a different pose, which will also add more interest to the poster for the reader. As a result making the poster more effective.



Anciliary Task - Digipak

This is my first potential idea for my album cover for our band.

Below is the final design for my groups Digipak. The design consists of 6 different sides to ensure that it covers the entire CD cover. It also shows a picture of a moon over some water to illustrate the name of the album, and the tree and lake is taken from a bangladesh artist, which makes it even more relavent to the album. Each member of the band individually and a group photo of them at the end. This has been done to show the audience who the band members are, it also tells them the names of the songs on the back.

Below is my groups final digipak design that I have created and decided to put forward for the group. It is a four sided digipak with four pictures that have been created using photoshop. The front and back cover shows every member of the band, to make it more attractive to potential buyers, while the inside covers show the disc sides.

My Audience Feedback

This is the student feedback from our draft of the music video. They recommended that I should make the shots shorter as they are too long, and make the video less like the story.



The main points from my teacher feedback was that the video was too slow and needed more shots to make it like a music video. As a result I will alter my video accordingly in order respond positively to her feedback.

Skype Call - Ryan Mackfall from Crashburn Media

 

 

 

During the call, Ryan suggested that we make some adjustments to my groups treatment. As a result we made these changes, which will put our video in a better position when it comes to filming it.

 

Ryan also mentioned looking at the following videos for some inspiration for our own video:

Skype Call - Ian Haughton

 


As group we had a Skype call with Ian Haughton of Handsome Design. He talked to our group about the design and marketing of our digipak. He provided some tips and techniques that will be useful in the production of my own digipak.
