DigiPak and Poster to show on Thursday




This is the poster and the digipak I designed to show the class ready for feedback on Thursday. My feedback was that it felt a bit childish and really didn't help represent the indie genre of music at all. I wished to make it colourful and creative to go with the feel of the music video and name but now I have taken in the feedback I can understand where the points came from. I created the background myself to try and gain a sense of tie dye or paint splatters but I feel like it maybe does look too childlike. I feel like the silhouettes make it kind of child like also. Another comment was that I need to think more into the layout and what goes where I didn't take this into consideration either.

What I need to do next in order to improve will be to change the colour scheme of it, maybe play around with more darker colours. I want to play around with the opacity of the text so I can layer up different colours on a one colour background. Maybe that will help represent the title of the album too. The digipak as as a whole seems a little empty and so I plan on trying to fill out the panels more.

Other things I will need to consider and include will be the spine and the more information on the poster.

Feedback - First Screening




The feedback we gained through the first screening of our Music Video and Prints media was both good and bad. All the feedback was well received and meant that we now have plenty to work on and improve before the due date. I am able to understand the comments on the Music Video and i agree with everything that was said but now one of my main focuses will be the print media. My problem was that it did represent the indie genre although i tried hard to add colour consider the name of the album'Colour Spectrum' and the creativity of the Music Video. I plan on keeping different colours but toning it down and maybe add some less vibrant colours to represent the genre.

Editing and Filming

We had a very successful day of filming and editing. We found plenty of objects that we were able to use in our animation. We found an old turn table which we used and plenty of switches we could use to create more fun interesting scenes for the stop motion. After hours of filming we went back to school and edited it all in a fast amount of time.

Filming




Today in our free's we went to back to my house in order to film a few scenes before we show it to the class on Thursday. It worked out well because it meant we could film for period 1-4 and then we came back in for period 5 to edit. We did so and got everything done on time. I am pleased with what we have accomplished today as the shots we filmed look pleasing.

DigiPack Images


 

In today's lesson we went on a hunt for guys to photograph. Our intentions were to get guys older and more similar looking to our band members but we had to make do with these guys we found. Even though they weren't what we were looking for we took them to Photoshop to make do with their silhouettes. I feel like these images can definitly be used on my digipak. I like the fact you can identify each member but you cant see their face in my opinion this will make the digipak seem more about the music rather then selling the band image.

DigiPak

Over the Christmas holiday I have been trying to improve my digi pak in multiple ways. To start with I changed the format to make it easier to read and view. I have been deciding on backgrounds and what works best I have also been taking photographs for the other members of the band. Here are a few images of the things I have changed about my DigiPak...


As you can see I have chosen the background I prefer and will want to use. The only thing i am still trying to think about is the pannels and if the lyrics should be there, etc.
