what is a digipak

A  digipak is a special style of packaging for CD albums, digipaks normally have a 2 or 3 panels in a book style. The digipak is normally made from cardboard or a hard stock outer which normally would hold one or 2 cd/dvd disks.The front of the digipak typically has a logo or symbol that represents the artist but in most cases they involve a picture of the artist. Artist normally have a running theme throughout they're digipaks which either give a message or tell a story, Also the main hit single on the album sometimes has the same theme as the digipak. Digipaks benefit not just the artist as it brings attention to them but also promotes their music and fans may feel a sense of loyalty by purchasing a hard copy digipak.

digipak ideas

when creating a digipak/album cover i decided to use photoshop as it is the best for creating texts and formats.i decided to follow the blue theme of our artist and make sure it linked in with the genre of the music.

when choosing a font i decided i want create a digital theme which makes the digipak look like a file you would see on a computer,I think this theme is suitable as in 2014 everything music wise is online and virtual hence the pkaur blue 'e' spelt with a 3

In todays lesson we were briefed on the digipak and advertisement we had to do for our music video,we will be working and producing these over the next 5 weeks.the digipak and advertisement are vital in the process of the project as the visual element is as equally important as the song itself

Rough cut teacher review

Review from Dan (media teacher)

In todays lesson we have received some feedback on Dan about rough cut video.

Here are some of the positives things he pointed out to use:

• Our music video has a wide range of colourful shots that worked successfully together.

• The lip sync was well timed and done very effective.

• We have made use of our motif successful by filming objects in a row throughout the video.

Some improvement he suggested are listed below:

• We could improve the editing through speeding it up in time with the fast paced beat, as currently we have been editing to every 4 seconds.

• Use a wider range of shots that have much more movement in them as there is a shortage of movement in the current shots we have used.

• Think about adding some effects over the clips using the final cut pro tools.

Acting on Dan's Review

After listening to Dan's review we have acted on some of the improvement points he said and put them in to action here are some of the improvements we have made.

• We have re looked over all our footage and found ones that we have not used that had a lot of movement in them and have now added them to the video. It has made the video look much better as the movement clips go well with the face base beat of the song keeping our audience interested in the music video.

• We sat down and had a very close listen to the song so we could improve the editing pace to the beat making it slower and faster using the final cut pro software. We marked out the fast paced parts of the song that occurs during the chorus and instrumental, and also used markers to mark out where the pace slows what happens just before the instrumental.

Editing Problems

Why We Didn't Use The Footage From The 11th November?

 Here are some shots we took on the 11th Novemeber. We tried using a different camera but when we looked back at the shots, the quality was far from what we expected. Therefore, we went back to using the college camera and did some completely different shots that we think are far better and will look good once the edit is complete.

Pictures:

 (1) Bird Eye shot of group of girls picking up make up. (2) Jaya and Daniel holding the camera steady to get a panning shot of picking up shoes out of the frame. (3) Close Up of Daniel filming Faye do her hair and Jaya holding the Mirror to ensure Faye knew what she was doing. (4) Dimmed lighting, Close up and panning shot of Jaya pouring drinks into glasses whilst Daniel filmed.

Reviewing rough cut

After reviewing and evaluating our rough cut edit it appears that some of our clips are not in time with the lip sync. Therefore we are discussing ways in which we can make improve this to make it flow better.
We found our use motif was very successful (shot glasses, picking up shoes) and the repetitive panning shots brings something unique to the music video.

Video Rough Cut

Possible Dark/Night filming

Night Filming

To go with the song title 'Waiting all night' we have been discusing film some night time clips to put at the the end of the music video. We think ending the musi video in night time would flow well with our music video as it shows the night time has finally come and our artist now no longer has to 'wait all night'.

We are thinking about filming in colourful places in london at night as we have very colourful clips throughout our music video.

Reasearching places we could film in we have found some possible locations:

• Westminster london eye 

• London china town

  •  london 02 

  •  Wembley stadium
