Video Draft!

This is the draft to my music video. There are still a few improvements to me made, but this will give you an indicator of how the music video will turn out and what i'm trying to create video wise. Hopefully, you will be able to see the music genre's prescence creep out and well as the pertaining to the target audience. There are a couple of factors I have tried to create yet haven't been able to so efficiently, or feel my audience will not recongise them; I will discuss these in my evaluation at a later date.

I hope you enjoy! :)

Font Permission.

This is a print screen of the permission that was sent to me by the creator of my "Ghetto Marquee" font, Kris Shelton via http://www.dafont.com/

Kris says he will allow me permission if it is not for a commercial use and he would be glad to seethe end results.

Video Feedback.

Here is some video feedback off students in my school regarding my Media Digi-Pack. One student, Megan Marlow, is a non Media Studies student whilst the other, Sarah Hall, is a Media Studies student in my class. I filmed these feedbacks using the webcam on IMovie on an Apple Macintosh computer - the same way I filmed my video diary. Whilst the video's may be short, (remembering that my participants were nervous and not very experienced in speaking without a script on camera), they contain, what I feel to be, insight into where my Digi-Pack is at. As I mentioned before, my participants were unscripted and were told to view my Digi-Pack before making their comments.

CD Back Cover Feedback.

I have decided to post some feedback about the back of my CD cover from a range of students (Both Media Studies students and non for a wider range). Here is their feedback;

Media Students:

Chris: I think the technicalities at the bottom of the CD page are effective in making it look professional. The colour scheme compliments the photo as it is all black and white.

Lance: I like this back cover as it appeals to both men and women with the colour scheme and the red love heart. Additionally, the red love heart makes it stand out and seem more interesting.

Ashleigh: I like the simplicity of this back cover as I personally feel back covers don't need too much else they crowd out the track list. It seems to contemplate the entire of the digi pack.

Amy: I enjoy this back cover as it gives out lots of information that is vital for a CD cover. The colour scheme has been well executed and fits the "Indie" genre well.

Non Media Students:

Jodie: The love hearts are really appealing and well structured on the back of the CD cover. To improve, I would say make the primary background colour slightly darker or lighter as grey seems too dull.

Sally: The love hearts give the digi-Pack a sense of fun romance and this appeals to me on a personal level. The simplicity of it makes it effective but I fear it could be too boring.

Leanne: I think this looks very professional looking and it looks like a lot of hard work has gone into this. To improve, I would say to make the information at the bottom of the CD cover smaller so it doesn't drown out anything else.

Cate: The lack of colour mixed with red is highly appealing and works very well. I like the font and how it has been used throughout the entire Digi-pack. This Digi-pack seems to appeal to both boys and girls of a mixed range of ages.

My Digi Pack - CD Back.

This is the newly finished piece of the back cover of my CD (as part of my Digi-pack). As one can see, the sizes have changed improving its effect drastically.

I will post feedback at a later date.

My Digi Pack - CD Back (Draft!)

This is the draft to the back cover of my CD as part of my digi-pack. As you can see, the sizes are yet to be reconfigured and I will make some according changes to my final piece. Still, this will give you an impression of how it will turn out.

CD Front Cover Feedback.

This is some of the feedback I have been given regarding my newly created CD Front Cover. Unlike my poster, I have chosen a variety of people to comment on my CD Front cover, as my feelings have changed regarding people's insight into the workings of Media. I will split my feedback into non-Media Students and Media Students to show an overall, general view.

Media Students:

Rebecca: I really enjoy this CD cover and it links well with the poster. It seems much improved from the draft and I like the colour scheme, it makes an impact and stands out from average CD covers.

Jack: Like the poster, I enjoy the font and the way in which the words have been structured onto the CD cover. I feel this gives a random and unique feel to it.

Amy: Though this cover is very well created, it has silly mistakes within it. For example, the "A Guide To Love" seems to overshadow the love heart and looks unprofessional and disconnected from the rest of the poster. However, it's individual and well thought out.

Rachel: I enjoy the photographic element to this poster, feeling it creates a bigger feel of realism and it really compliments the "Indie" feel to this poster. This poster is different and seems a little fun!

Non Media Studies Students:

Megan: As a fan on Indie music, I enjoy this poster as I feel it pertains well to the "Indie" theme. The photograph is really professional looking yet I can't understand the relevance of the main character being on the London Underground.

Charlotte: The black and white background against the colour of the character and love heart creates an effective impact. I like the "grimy" feel to the font which is softened by the love heart, making it neutral yet effective.

Ben: Indie music is a favourite of mine and I really enjoy how this CD front cover compliments it. The black and white drowns out the background and allows the main character to leave a lasting impression on the audience of this CD Front cover. It seems to work well with the target audience of Indie music.

Lisa: I'm not a fan of Indie music, but I think this CD Front cover works well with the Indie genre. The love heart appeals to me as a female and I can definitely see the romantic aspect of the CD and in turn, probably the music.
