Digipak draft

Design of digipak

Research into CD Digipaks and covers

 

The two top images are of Limp Bizkit debut album 'Three Dollar Bill, Yall$'. The guitarist of the band created both covers himself. It is a consistent grafiti/artistic and comical style of art. CD cover art doesn't always have to be in the same style throughout, but it gives it a distinctive image. The bottom two images are examples of digipaks. The same colours are used throughout. I will try to do the same and keep a consistent style on my digipak.

Research into existing Advertisements

 

 

These advertisements have consistent house styles. The Florence + the Machine ad features black and white shades all around the main image f the album cover. The fonts except for the main title are all the same. The Green Day ad has a distinctive style, using the blocky - urban style font, brick background with grafiti, and the main image in the forground in cartoon style. This ha strong anchorage, and conveys an urban rock style. Furthermore, the colours are of fire, which also could mean this album is hot. The Oasis ad has a similar style, with the urban background and casual clothes of the bandmembers. The image is in centre frame with the simple style writing above and below it, like the Florence ad. This is the style I will be using with my advertisement. The casual clothing, grafiti and urban locations are conventional of rock music, especially Oasis, which are a northern rock and roll band, that was also dubbed 'working class heroes'.

 

 

Feedback for music video 1st draft

Feedback for Harley Young’s media Music Video by Emily Craddock

 

Positive points;

·         There is excellent use of continuity, which flows consistently throughout the whole video.

·         A clear narrative feature has been used, instead of just a generic performance video, which makes the music video more interesting.

·         Clear connotations of rock have been used which complement the genre of music used – such as guitars, drum, posters and CD’s.

·         A range of different camera angles have been used – including long shot, close up, low angle and panning shots – which made the music video look very intricate and professional.

 

Negative points;

·         At parts, one of the members in the music video, made the video look really unprofessional and didn’t really fit in with the genre of the music video.

·         At the red bull scene, one of the members didn’t make the drinking of the red bull look realistic.

·         The pan right scene goes on for too long, and this shows part of the bookcase, which was not meant to be seen


 

Music Video

This is my first edit of my music video. So far, to improve this video I need to go and re shoot and add a couple of shots, clean up the timing on a couple of shots and make the 'me discovering band jumping around and backing out of the house in shock' more understandable by shooting me walking to the house in the first place.
