Annual A2 Music Video Screening

Every year once all of the music videos have been created, edited and finalised, there is an annual screening for friends and family to come and watch our music videos. Food and drink is put on display and this year was no different, it was a great way to show off our films and to let friends and family know the hard work and effort we all put in to creating them. It was also a way to receive feedback in relation to question 3 of our evaluation. The audience members had a small pack that they would fill out and rate all of our music videos.

Below are some pictures taken from the event

Development of Digipack

With the digipack I only used the same steps once for both sets of CD covers even though there are two sets of CD covers. However I did apply different effects for each CD cover.

Digipack 1

Below are my first three images to my digipack. To the far right you can see the image that would be used as the CD front cover, I think its quite a statement piece and the image is a nice natural picture of Taylor in a setting of green trees that relate well to the actual muic video, the red writing contrasts well with her red accessories which makes it stand out that little bit more. I have also placed an effect on this image called 'grain' which gives it an edgy unique feel.

The middle image which would be the back cover of the CD is in fact a screen shot of Taylor from my edited film, I think the fact its a natural pose with no adjustments made makes it seem raw and in theme with the video itself and the song. The red writing again contrasts well with the green background.

The final image is to the far left and would be used for an inside sleeve of the CD, the image is quite a striking pose with the same 'grain' effect I added onto the front cover. Again Taylor has red accessories that go really well with the other two images and they all contrast well with eachother.

The stages were pretty much the same to creating my magazine advert however I had three small squares  (just like the ones above) instead of one large rectangle or square

Again as you can see above I played around with different effects before I finally settled for the ones I have. All six of my CD covers have different effects, maybe a couple of them have the same effect

Digipack 2

Below are the set of my second digi pack being the other three images for the CD. Starting with the far right image you will see half of Taylors face, reason being is beacuse all along Ive tried my best and worked hard to create a unique edgy raw film and I wanted these supporting products to be the same and do it justice. This image would also be an inside sleeve for the CD and the effect used is again 'grain' to match with the previous images. There is a red signature from Taylor on this image to give it a personal touch, which I think it does.

The middle image is what the actual CD would be and as you can see I have placed the image I would use for the front cover onto the CD with the words 'Moby' and the song title swirled around the hole in the middle. I really like this idea and thought it looked good again keeping in with the unique feel I was going for.

The last image to the far right would be another inside sleeve picture, its another picture of Taylor tilted to the side to give a quirky feel! The big earrings to me, make it seem like a statement piece and the effect on the pose keeps it real.

Below are again the different effects that I could have used for these CD covers

Below are a close up of the different effects that could/can be used for creating something in Photoshop

Overall I am really happy with the effects and colours I added into my images and I think the final outcome was really professional and merged well with my magazine advert and final film

Development of Magazine Advert

Below is the magazine poster I created in Photoshop to promote the artist and the single/album. As you can see Its an image of Taylor posing on a set of stairs, I think its a really raw, funky image which goes well with the other supporting products. Again I have the red writing which contrasts to the digipack, the writing is bold and in capital letters to create a great impact.

The effect I put onto the image has made it seem like shes been painted and gave it quite a cartoon feel to it. Her makeup is bold and creates such a dramatic look I think it gells brilliantly with my digipack and the music video.

The title of the poster is quite plain however still bold in jet black colour and font. What I also like about it is the shadow you can see to the right of her, this again just adds to the drama and rawness of the image and makes the overall poster that bit more interesting.

When starting this task I had to firstly create a blank document in photoshop as you can see from the screen shot below. This image is however not fit to scale

Then I would have placed in the particular image i wanted e.g. the one seen in my final magazine advert

When everything was in place I would have then started to play around with effects and different colour's

The effect I went for in the end was a blurry painted effect that I thought made my image stand out really well and made it seem quite unique. However before applying the effect I wanted, I messed around with some others first

Overall I am definitely happy with my final image and the effects I chose for it

Risk Assessment for A2 Music Video

This is a print screen of my risk assessment as you can see I have hopefully covered every detail that will need to be considered when filming.
