The lip-syncing is very slick. Some of the shots are very striking especially the sun and field scenes. However, is the song not about how the protagonist cannot get the person she admires, so how come she is smiling? The dog is quite random as well. On the other hand the dog adds normality to the music video, this sets it apart from other music videos, which means it can become more relatable for the audience. You have also flattered Imogen very well with the dull colours and bleaching which follows one of the conventions of music videos</i></span></b><span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">.' - Lily Vetch<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

Overall I am happy with the feedback as I can see where each individual is coming from when the point out negative features. Looking at the statics from youtube, our audience is largey dominated by females. I can see this point myself as when I spoke to others about my video, if they were male they didn’t really have a lot to say as I do believe they struggled to make the same emotional connection as the females will have done.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However, I do think the storyline is unclear. We have tried to keep a mysterious theme within our film. The protagonists face does not become of image until just before the first chorus is played. As well with Matt the male in our film, we show his body up to his neck at the very beginning but do not show his face to keep the viewer uncertain as to who the character is. The basic idea behind the video is that the girl is in love with the boy but she can never have him. She is feeling lost and lonely so has a great relationship with her dog as ‘a god is a man’s best friend’ she finds comfort in having the dog around to fill her gap. We have kept mystery a key part as the song is all about this boy but you don’t know who is and you really want to find out. So, in the last few seconds the boy appears on screen but this time a shot is taken from his feet right up to his face allowing the audience to make reference to who the song is about and who the boy from the beginning was. Overall this was the only negative point that we received in our feedback. If I was to do this again, I would defiantly have made the storyline clearer and would possibly have shown some shots of how the couple had been before they had split.

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> This is a good example of an album advertisement. The font and colours reflect the name of the album. The information is easy to read and clear. Having an image allows the viewer to see who the artist is and allows them to judge what style of music you think they will have.<br />
<br />
For our advertisement we will need to stick with vintage and contemporary theme. Sticking to the font courier new, this gives our digipak a recognizable branding. We are going to have to take good images which reflect the genre and style that links to our type of music yet we will remain with a simplistic look. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><br />

</style> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; margin-left: 21.3pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">A digipak is a kind of CD case. It is a six-panel product. It is made from paper and consists of a plastic disc tray that has been fitted inside on one of the panels and the other remaining panels are left for artwork, lyrics, track lists and front covers etc. It was considered the environmentally friendly version of CD cases, although they have remained less common as they suffer more from wear and tear than jewel cases. Also they have remained less common due to the fact they have higher manufacturing costs. <br />
<br />
A jewel case/ CD case consists of 3 pieces of plastic put together. This is the more traditional package for a CD. It has the same if not similar plastic CD holder and then the casing on the front and back has paper slotted inside with information on the album and artist.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 21.3pt; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">In our opinion the digipak has more value. It has 6 sides, allowing for more artwork and information of the artist to be obtained whilst also the promotional benefits are greatly increased. The more allowance of space means the artists can promote themselves with more than just their CD but with significant information about themselves adding a personal touch which people do like to see when looking at the concept of celebrities. The item is also seen as a collectable therefore meaning it needs to have that added feature to make it something others want to keep. One of the other key features is also the environmentally friendly touch, the environment is becoming extremely important to our generation and if others have a slight feeling of ‘doing good for the planet’ it adds to the purchase. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 21.3pt; text-align: left;"><br />
<div style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">What we need to include in our digipak:</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; margin-left: 21.3pt; text-align: left;"><style>

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The albums artwork is of a photograph containing two people. There is a young boy stood alongside his mother or grandmother perhaps, whose eyes have been edited through computer graphics; his eyes have been filled in red to possibly symbolize possession and the Devil. This connotation is also given through props in the background, a wooden Cross is hung directly above the boy’s head onto the wall. The picture is again of an 80s style, like in the “Best Friend” music video; it could possibly have been taken by a Polaroid or film camera, rather than digital image. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The album title appears to the top right of the cover, typed in large black, bold font inside a white box. The box also contains directly underneath, in smaller font, the band name and a track list. This isn’t very common in typical albums, as the cover usually focuses mainly on the image, rather than font.</span><br />

<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This will not be the final cover for our digipak it was created simply to play around with ideas and see which direction we hope to venture. We think we shall create something similar possibly using the polariod effect but we shall take new images for the cover. As in our music video we don't actually show the main characters face until the first chorus we feel that we should have her face on the front of the album cover to divert away from too much mystery.</span><br />

The lip-syncing is very slick. Some of the shots are very striking especially the sun and field scenes. However, is the song not about how the protagonist cannot get the person she admires, so how come she is smiling? The dog is quite random as well. On the other hand the dog adds a normality to the music video, this sets it apart from other music videos, which means it can become more relatable for the audience. You have also flattered Imogen very well with the dull colours and bleaching which follows one of the conventions of music videos.' - Lily Vetch</span><br />

The reason we reused the shot of the camera moving from him feet to his face is so that at the end we can reveal who the character is. </span><span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We thought that the should be a shot of Matt to start with instead of him just appearing at the end because we feel that it gives more of a story line and links everything together more successfully.</span>Emerald McNamarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09266601118669878747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772419563234313777.post-39570702919312313762012-02-13T08:15:00.000-08:002012-03-15T02:50:27.033-07:00Updated draft...<div style="text-align: center;"><br />

We have done a few practices and Imogen is really quite good and it looks like it will turn out very well. The only slight problem we are having is keeping her from smiling when filming. This is not a major problem but potentially detracts from the emotional side of the lyrics and this is rather vital as she is lip syncing the lyrics. </span></span>Emerald McNamarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09266601118669878747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772419563234313777.post-80288183282533933792012-02-08T02:36:00.000-08:002012-02-08T02:37:53.304-08:00Editing<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We have been working on the editing of our film.</span><br />

We have been working mostly on the first 30 seconds and the chorus. Working a long side the idea of our colour scheme black/white and red. We have struggled with our storyline as we feel it is not portraying the image we would like. After discussion we are going to take some more footage over the course of the week and see what we can work with to hopefully merge our forsty image into a clear one.</span></span></div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

We have'nt found there to be an majorly dangerous aspects to our filming so there should not be any problems. However since writing this we shall be more aware of any possible disasterous situations.</span><br />
