These are some of the words that my classmates came up with to describe our music video. I used wordle to summarise some of the words up.

These are three stills from our final music video, my Digipak and my advertisement. In each of these, flowers are present and are in yellow. I got inspired to use the consistency of flowers and the colour yellow as a way of relating our final music video, to my Digipak, to my advertisement. I have used flowers all over my Digipak and advertisement to continue the floral theme.

In both of my Digipak and advertisement, I wanted to keep the style of writing very simple and conventional. I chose a font on Photoshop and used the same font throughout all of my ancillary products to stick to my genre, and the conventions of digipaks.

Stills From Music Video

I wanted the audience to have a clear visual link of the artist as she is new and we want the audience to remember her, so I decided that we should keep the hair, clothes and environment the same so that it is easier for the audience to recognise her. Her facial expression has not changes, her hair, make up and costume are the same which is a clear visual link. I chose to use the same image for my ancillary products as again, it is a clear visual link and helps he audience to recognise her.

Potential Design Ideas

For my Digipak and advertisement, I plan to uses this font and these designs.

Potential DigiPak Covers

DigiPak Mock Up

This is a four panel mock up of my digipak. I plan to use a close up picture of our artists in the front with flowers all over the digipak. In the back panel, I will insert around 10 songs with more flowers around the panel. In the middle, I will try to insert another image, with thank you notes on them, and maybe the lyrics to "These Words".

Analysis Of Advert Relating To Pop

Theses are a few adverts of pop artist advertised on TV. I plan to use some of the features present such as reviews from magazines and newspapers, and how many stars was given for the song. I also plan to use an image that relates to the digipak so that the audience can see the link immediately if they wanted to buy the digipak.

Digipak Analysis Relating To Our Video

 

This is the front, back and CD cover of Eliza Doolittle. This cover is very conventional to the genre pop as it is very colourful. It includes pink, blue, orange, green, yellow and red. These colours are very playful and feminine which appeals to the target audience. This will relate to my Digipak as we plan to stay in the conventions of using colours such as yellow, green, orange and pink. Eliza is quite established, in which she does not use some of the conventions such as a close up of her looking at the camera. Whereas I plan to use a close up of our artist Emily Bloom as she is a new artist and I know that the audience will need to get to know her as this is very conventional. The back cover is also very conventional as she is present, and some of the colours continue to the back. She has many different types of fonts which is not as conventional, but it still works for the genre pop. As does the CD, which is plain, but very effective through the choice of font and colour.

This is the album cover of Marina and the Diamonds. There are many different ways to portray pop, and she does it in a more mature way. She still has the conventional close up of her face and a kind of floral background which reassures her femininity. Again, Marina is present in the back cover, it is a mid shot of her, but we still see all of her face. She has continued the continuity with the fonts, but not with the background. This is not quite as conventional as Eliza Doolittle's cover, but it is still very much pop. The CD, is quite plain, with the colours silver and black present, but they mach the front and back cover very well. I again plan to use a close up of our artist on the front cover, and use the same font through out my digipak as Marina and the Diamonds do.

Ellie Goulding's album cover differs from the first two. She still fits into the category of pop as some of her songs are quite sweet. But it is mature pop and therefore her cover looks very plain, but still appeals to her target audience. I plain to have a plain CD in the middle of my digipak with just the artists name on it as Ellie Goulding does.

Final Video (Production)

Editing Our Music Video (Production)

These are some shots of my group editing our final music video on Final cut pro.

Analysis Of Rough Cut Stills

These are a few stills from our rough cut, in which we may plan to change. In this still, the length was to long which is not really conventional to any music video as the audience may get bored, we will most probably cut some of it as it is at the beginning of the music video.
This is another still from our music video. In this shot, the still remains for a few seconds and this is very unconventional, especially for our music video as it is quite up beat.

This clip was also very long and the audience may again get bored of the footage.

In this still, we filmed the two characters in an indoor location which does not link in with our other footage as we filmed the rest of our footage outside. In order, we also placed this clip near the beginning at the chorus, this does not link well together as the location changes and the audience may get confused. In an typical music video, locations does not change until after the second verse.
