Digipak Research

On the second digipack a picture goes over two pieces of the digipack, with writing on the left hand side. The CD had no picture on and contasts hugley with the image on the case.

On the first this digipack has two separate images for the inside of the digipack. the images are very similar ans link with each other.

Digipaks Relevant to my Genre

These album covers are conventional of the genre I have used.

Arctic Monkeys

Pony Pony Run Run

 Young Bloodhawke

The XX

 Two Door Cinema Club

All these album covers are similar. They have a bold font for the text which is positioned in the centre and stands out. Bold contrasting colours are also used, such as the black and white. Pictures are rarely used, and if so they are belittled by the text being bolder that it and over the top. The title of the artist is the main concentration, rather than the title of the album.

Digipaks I Don't Like

I dont like this because the images contrast too much. They use a completely different colour scheme, making it look like they should be from two different products.

Digipaks I Like

I like this because the images are striking, making it stand out. Although they are of differnt things they still link. This is because the framing of the images are central and very simnilar.

Final Cut

Decisions

I've decided not to follow through with the ideas below as I think it will be too obvious that I have added it in. This is because of the mise-en-scene - the weather has changed. This would disrupt the continuity of my product.

Ideas

Another natural element could be added to my music video, following the twigs and the stones.

Some ideas are...

Flowers 

Leaves

Water

Adding another element to my video to break it up would link into the idea of "three" that is represented throughout my video. This is because there would be three different montages of natural elements.

If I used flowers...

-Three flowers could be in the shot

-Dissolves could be used

-Two could slowly fade out the shot

-This would represent them as dying

-Linking to the breakdown of the relationship of the two girls disappearing

-The flower left in the shot would represent the boy at the end still standing

Response From Audience Feedback

I thought my audience feedback was good. It was very positive. I liked how we got another media class to give us audience feedback as it gave me more of a variety of things to think about. One thing I could try that might improve it is adding shots in in between the girls running to break it up a bit.

Audience Feedback

Something I Wasn't Sure About

I wasn't sure about the ending of my music video. I was worried that the shots of the boy could become boring for my audience.

One of my main questions for my audience feedback:

Does the several different shots of the boy at the end help to build up the climax for the end of my music video?
