Storm Queen- Look Right Through RC1

This is our first Rough Cut

Digipak Inside

Looking at the insides of a digipak and looking at the common codes and conventions to these are that the images in the middle either run across the two panels in there or are just one single image on the side which doesn't have the CD in front of it. Inside the digipak there is sometimes text displaying the names of the composers for each song in smaller print than the song title. There is also sometimes a small handout which contains further artwork or images and song lists. The actual CD can usually be found in the main part of the digipak in a plastic holder with two panels to each side. So some digipaks can have two cd's within the card case, One for the actual CD and another for behind the scenes or some sort of DVD.

Looking at this example this digipak has 3 inner pannels and they all seem to be interlinked with a image which runs between all 3 panels which is common in most digipak and baring this in mind we will most definitely be suing this for our idea

Audience Feedback RC2

Below is the audience feedback we were given by our media teacher as well as useful points from the class. This helped us with the creation process as it was vital element to improving our video. With the feedback we then made changed and adjusted the video to fit the points given by the other students and teacher.

Digipak Research Front and Back

By just looking up and researching common codes and conventions it is clear that for the back and front cover there are only a few things which can be said that are common in most of the music video didipaks. take the design and colour codes for example. Just by looking at a few different ones you can see that the colour and design more often than not does run onto both of these which adds that sense of continuity to the digipak as you can see from these two images of the Police Album Outlandos d'Amour

Also a common feature on the digipak is the use of a record label sign which is also show on the back of this Police digipak where then you can tell who the artist is contracted with and when doing our own digipak we will have to add this in with our own and look at where to put this information 

However the most common feature of a digipak is the song list or track list and this is seen on almost every digipak and this is a common way to give infomation on what the CD holds and tells you what exactly is on the CD and we will definately be using this on our own digipak.

Shoot 5

For this shoot we went into Ilkley to shoot the remaining footage needed to develop a full rough cut and for this we used the locations which were Ilkley town centre, Keighley and also various parts of Leeds such as the trinity center and briggate. We took into consideration the light and how it wouldn't be the same as the light on the other shoots so we had to add slight effects when editing the sequence where by we added a few minor tints to the screen.

I feel that this shoot was rather successful as we got a lot of the major dancing footage shot and this will then help us with the amount that we did shoot to create a decent enough rough cut to get some feedback on from our target audience and peers a like and for somewhat of our secondary audience. In this shoot we got lots of shot variety and good use of the different settings to cause that sense of verisimilitude and diversity which all good music videos need to have within them

However in this shoot we did not get the care home scene filmed due to it being unavailable for our use at this time

So we have now devised another time for us to film this key part of our music video. We also feel that the way our editing is going we have developed a minor narrative to our music video rather than predominantly a performance and dance based video which we will be able to achieve when we do film these vital scenes from the care home.

Shoot 4

In this shoot we went to Leeds to shoot this time. We managed to get a lot filmed on the train and at the station on the way there and on the way back. And on this shoot we managed to get most of the dancing scenes done. This was key due to the public reactions which the old man got whilst he was dancing in the streets. This adds to the verisimilitude of the music video and adds a sense of realism to the video. However on this shoot we didn't manage to gather images of the shoot but we have enough footage for the video its self so we will be able to assemble a good rough cut to put together to gather enough audience feedback.

Also on this shoot we managed to add different effects to the camera so that the filming of this would increase the uses of technology used and editing techniques used to achieve a greater grade and sense of what we would need to hoot on the next shoot where by we would analyse the footage shot and decide from there.

However for the next shoot that we do we will need to get the footage of the care home done and the footage of some more dancing in and around some urban areas so then it follows the original artists themes and his type of editing and specifics.
