Proof of camera use and editing

This is my evidence of editing and filming.

Magazine advert final

I then added an image of the CD cover so that it shows the audience what to look for when buying the digipak and also as it is conventional to an avert advertising a CD.

Magazine advert draft

I also changed the fonts and boldness on the magazine advert of the artist and the album's name in the same way that I did on the digipak so that the distinction was clear between the two.

Digipak Final

Digipak draft

 I also decided that I would change the size and boldness and of the text on the cover of the digipak so that it was made clear on the difference in the artists name and the name of the album.

Digipak draft

I have now decided to use the same effect on the CD disk pages of the digipak as I feel that it is an effective way of attracting my target audience. I also added the text that is on the CD and DVD as it is conventional of a digipak and it also shows people which disk is which.

I also used another image that was similar to show continuity. I then used the same image on the background of the back cover, which also has the names of the songs on the album. I decided that it would be a nice effect to add layers of the bricks with some gaps added with the use on an eraser on Photoshop. This then showed that layers were used and also gives gives to conotation of something that is not perfectly put together and that it is different which also fits the criteria of my target audience. I also added the black panels to show on the edges of the CD what CD it is which is also conventional to digipaks.

I decided that I would use the brick wall as a background for the back of my digipack so that it fitted in with the rest of the digipak.

Digipak draft

I added black paneling that would be on the edges of the cover to fit the conventions of a digipak and so that the consumer and know more distinctively what CD it is. I used black and white so that it fitted the rest of the text on the digipak so that it looked more continuous.

I added another photo that I liked from the images I took and that I edited so that it was more continuous.

Digipak

I decided that if I used the same image on my digipak as I did on my advert to show continuity between the two. I also decided to use on of my other images that is very similar to the cover both in mise-en-scene and editing. This way continuity is used again/

Progress.

I finished the last of my video on Thurday and used Friday to copy it to a Dvd drive and I am now waiting for the computer to be free so that I can put the final product on my blog.

Draft of Magazine Advert.

Again I  changed the white behind, 'Aaron', and, 'reality' so that it stood out more.

Draft of Magazine Advert.

I given the white more of a messy look so that it stands out more.

Draft of Magazine Advert.

I decided that it would look better if I used the white background on both the artist and the album so that they stood out more.

This looks more like the backgroung image as it is less like a block and more messy.

Draft of Magazine Advert.

I thought that I needed some of the text to stand out more. I decided to use continuity and use a similar effect as I did on the image so that it did have continuity.

Draft of Magazine Advert.

By changing the size and angle of the text I felt it made it look more professional. I also felt it would be more conventional to point out to the audience that it was a new album.

First draft of magazine advert.

I decided that I preferred this photo to use for the magazine cover as I feel that it shows a stronger image than the other photos I chose. I then added text and come up with a name for the album. By using the artists name and the name of the album and the date of when the album is going to be released I followed the conventions of an avert for a CD. 

Other magazine adverts and album covers.

These two examples are very similar and show continuity. They are located in the same place and all that is changes is the costume and objects in the mise-en-scene as well as the positioning of Katy Perry. It is clear that each piece has a connection in that the name of the artist is in the same font on each alone with the name of the album. What is clearly a lot different is that the magazine advert has more information on it about the album such as what it will be released to give the view more information and to persuade them to go out and buy it. It is also highlighted that there is a song on the album that has been number one in the charts to appeal to the audience more.

Other music album covers/ magazine adverts.

With a popular artist like Rihanna you often see a connection in their album covers and advertisements. For example in this album cover and magazine advert we see Rihanna with her hand on her face, this shows continuity for the artist and shows that she has the same image and music in both of the advertisements. They also each have a R sign which clearly signifies the R Rihanna as an artist. The text the the pieces are bold so that it stands out to the audience. Each image is a close up of her face so that it is noticeable to the audience who the pieces are about.


Ideas.


Photos.

I took a few photos the other day for my axillary texts.
















Progress

I am currently in the process of making a few changes to my video. I am going to do some last minute filming so that I can get the image of the characters in my music video outside of the house so that it separates them from just being in the house. I have also changed the parts of the video that are in the past to black and whit so that it is clearer to the viewer that they are memories of my artist and that he is looking back on the past.
