Final Music Video

Final Magazine Advert

This is our final magazine advert. We also included the social media pages for the artist in the bottom left as well as adding more text on the poster such as the album name. We took on board our feedback from our draft and enlarged the typography at the top of the page which includes the artist's name and the album name to make it stand out to the audience. Another improvement made was adding reviews of the album towards the bottom of the page as these are typically found on magazine adverts. Our final improvement was to remove the artistic effect applied to the previous design as the blur effect made the quality of the image look of a low quality, this is the reason for it being removed.

Final Digipak Design

We improved upon another design and have decided to use this as our final digipak. Some of the improvements that we made were to include a barcode, record label and iTunes. We also added a spine to the digipak containing the artist and album. On the inside cover we added a review from the guardian as well to further promote the album. We also decided to remove the effect we had on the picture as it just looked like a bad image rather than an artistic effect.

Digipak Draft 2

Here is our second digipak draft, it is a slightly different design to the last one as this design has six panels instead of four. This means that it will contain more information as well as more images. After realising that the first design contained an image of the artist on every panel and generically, in our genre the artist doesn't feature on the digipak this was taking on board when designing this one. I have chosen to only have the artist feature on one panel on purpose in order to follow the conventions of our genre.

Magazine Advert Rough Cut

Music Video Rough Cut 2 & Feedback

The feedback received on this rough-cut was much improved from the feedback on the first rough cut as we had a lot more footage this time. A big negative on this video was that some of the clips had audio from filming still on them and it had not been detached and deleted yet. This was bad as you could hear it over the audio from the music and created quite a distraction. Another negative from this rough cut was that it still had pieces missing and occasional black screen but no where near as much as the other rough cut. However people giving feedback were not able to see a full video. A positive from this rough cut were that there were some good shots added in of a train journey. These were good as it helped to explain a change in location. Feedback from the first rough cut also suggested to get rid of the bit in the woods where we sped the clip up as it did not fit in, we removed this part.

Digipak Rough Cut

This digipak uses pictures taken at one of the locations within the music video. One convention of the genre is that they do not usually include pictures of the artist, instead I have decided to use pictures of the artist however keep his identity quite hidden. Also see the iTunes logo located at the bottom left.

Magazine Advert Rough Cut 1

Although there is obvious room for improvement, this is a first rough cut. A convention of the genre is the pure simplicity. Some improvemtns that can be made after recieving feedback are: Record company, more text, possible ratings/reviews, Different font and more images. Some positives were that it included the spotify and itunes logo.

Music Video Rough Cut 1 & Feedback

The feedback that we recieved for this rough cut was mainly to complete the music video as this draft is still missin key points in our narrative that are essential for our storyline. Following on from this constructive criticism was that we needeed to make our narrative more clear to the audience as a viewer isnt able to understand the plot in the current state that the rough cut is in. This all links togetehr as the scenes that we still need to film and edit are key points in the music video which really help to deliver the message to the audeince. For example, there are going to be scenes which are going to be filmed in the artist's bedroom where he looks back at old photos of his brother and there will be a shot where him and his brother are sitting on the bed and his brother dissapers in the next shot. This scene will really help the audience to gather what has happened i the opening 20 seconds of our music video where the brothers are involved in a cr crash and the artist's brother dies. As well as this, later on in the video the artist visits various locations him and his brother used to visit, this concept will become more clear when we finsih filming the bedroom scene and oher key areas of filming. On the other hand, we recieved good feedback on the scene shot down by the sea which was one of our most successful times filming as we were able to get a lot of footage that we were able to use.

Shotlist For Magazine Advert

This is the only shot that we used for our magazine advert as it acts as a background image for the advert. This image was a photo taken whilst we were out filming for our location 2 which can be seen in our music video. This shot was also incorporated within the digipak design as well as our music video as all of our media products need to link in some way, which this image clearly does. In order to make the image the same dimensions as an A4 page, we had to crop the image without distorting it at all after we did that, an artistic effect was applied in order to blur the image as featuring the artist on the front of a magazine adverts is not a convention of our genre (Indie-Pop). This blur does not reveal the artists identity and therefore, it somewhat follow the conventions of our genre, also we didn't want the artist to be the main focus on the page instead we wanted the typography to stand out.

These shots were from location 2 which can be seen on our shotlist exactly when and what we used in order to film and take these photos.

Shotlist for Digipak

 
 

 The front and back cover both use the same shot which was taken during the filming process of the scene shot by the sea. This shot was cropped so that the artist wasnt in the shot as this is a convention of our genre where typically the artist isnt seen on their media products. After the image was croppped, an artisitc effect was applied to the image to give it a more washed out/edgy effect which is another conevntion of Indie-Pop. The main reasoning for choosing photos that were taken by the sea to feature on our digipak was that the images already had a dark tone to them which made them look even better after they were edited as it meant that they fit our genre better than any other photos that we took would.



Above is the original image and here is the image that we cropped before applying an artistic effect to the picture.





This image was used on the inside where the disk would be found. We chose the make the image fit acroos all three inside panels without distorting the image so that when the digipak is opened it the image can be seen and it keeps it simple in terms of the design inside the digpak. Ince again we applied an artisitc effect to the image so that it would suit our genre better than if it was left original. This blurred effect also makes the image look more subtle and not in the users face which is another reason why this filter was chosen.



This is the final image that was used on our digipak which can be found in the inside cover which uses the same effect as the image used on our digipak. It is important for all of our media products to link togetehr and this helps to show this as this image featured on our magazine advert as well as it being  a shot used in our actual music video. This is the only image on the digipak used where you can see the artisit's identity as this is a convention of our genre as I have said before.



These shots were from location 2 which can be seen on our shotlist exactly when and what we used in order to film and take these photos.

Equipment Information

Camera -

We used an iPhone as our camera because we felt it was better quality. By using this we were able to have better picture quality in our film but also allow easier access to all of our clips and videos. We were also able to use this to do things like the photos for digipak and magazine adverts.






White screen -

We used a white screen for some performance shots to give us higher quality and a range of options to use as well as a recording studio. This meant we could use a range of lighting to make it look better. By using a white screen it also gives us a way of editing it more as there is nothing in the surrounding of the shot.




Tripod -        
                                                               A tripod was used to provide better stability while filming this                                                                minimised wobble and again helped to increase quality.

Casting Information

The chosen person we have cast is shown on the left. We cast this character because we felt he suited the role and profile of a character from our genre. This actor is relateable for our target audience as he is a similar age and has the personality of someone from the indie genre. Therefore this is more attractive for our target audience. One of the conventions of the genre was that it was quite different and 'edgy'. Billy is also a media student and therefore had a good understanding of our needs he had to meet, this made it easier to work with someone as he knew what he was doing. He has a good understanding of shot compositions and where he needs to be within the framing of each shot.







The second character we have cast is a young male boy, in the video representing the main character's brother. We have used someone who is 12 years old because we felt it was an accurate age to be the artist brother and therefore someone who is in the crash. We felt it was more important to find a suitable main character than secondary actor because the second character only features for the first 20 seconds of the film and we never see much of him.

The purpose of creating this shot list is to act as filming schedule as well as a guideline as to the shot types used. When we go out to film we can use the shot list to remind ourselves of the different scenes that we need to film in each location as well as informing us of the props and equipment required for each shot. This also assist us in the editing stage as it tells us how long each shot will be and the order in which our music video will run.
