Plans for digipak

   You need to consider the layout of the digipak as you want the album title to stand out to potential consumers or people are looking for the product. This is why i decided to make my title nice and bold to catch attention. You also need to consider the way in which the digipak is going to fold as you don't want it to be upside down once completed. The ideas within your digipak needs to be original and draw people into your album. You do this by making sure your digipak has a unique selling point that hasn't be done before. You need to make sure the artists name is on the spine of the pak and that the name of the artist is big and bold for people to see as often people may just purchase an album if they enjoy the artist without knowing all of the songs. Within my own digipak one of the things that worked was the use of the two lollipops in the shape of a cross i did this because you suck lollipops and this links to the album title sucker alongside the idea that sucker is an insult and is negative so crossed the two things.  I also used bright colours to draw peoples attention and with the use of the glittery purple on the love heart shape surrounding the title. My reasoning for this is that one of her album tracks is called 'need your love' so put it in the shape of a love heart and the use of red balloons as another track is named this. One thing that doesn't work is the background of the digipak it needs to be all in colour to draw the most attention to potential buyers. Furthermore, more original ideas that hadn't been thought of and used by other artists would have made my digipak even more effective. 

For my second design i spent more time on planning out the way in which i wanted Charli XCX to be presented to her audience. I decided that as she is a bold statement character that i would match her outfit in the glittery dress with the disco ball and the sparkly pink font on her name and album. This is the theme i wanted to create due to the album title being Sucker. This leads me onto my next choice of the lollipops and the lips. The idea i had behind this was to show a variation of colours hence the multicoloured lollipops to spread her statement. The use of the image of Charli XCX on the front was to show her target audience her natural beauty and also the choice of the simple tight dress being silk sexualises her character and would make young boys drawn to the album. What doesn't work is that there is no record label on here alongside this on the front i have only put images of Charli XCX as i believed this would sell her the most as she is popular by face more than her having a well recognised name in my opinion. Furthermore, i haven't actually put her name or album title on the front which would need to happen in order for people to be able to see who she is and the name of her album.

Question 3-What have you learned from your audience feedback?

Question 3 -  What have you learned from your audience feedback?     *  Gain feedback on your  rough cut  (music vid, digipack and magazine advert) from class, from Year 12, from friends, from parents, from teachers, from on line surveys ​   In order to see whether our rough cuts were as good as they needed to be we split up individually and went away conducting research through my family. I asked both my mum, brother and dad to review the pr oducts we had created in our group Scorpio Records. The first product I asked them to analyze was the music video. The feedback given consisted of different aspects. For instance my mum asked whether Amber and Danny were meant to be a couple within the mus ic video as she didn’t think it was clear enough that Danny was the boy Amber was going. She believed this would have further aided the narrative if this was clearer but overall the range of shots were good and enjoyed the video. My brother also gave const ructive criticism on ou

Why are we remaking a music video

Image
The music video we were sent aay to remake the video by Justin Timberlake Can't stop the feeling. We were then split up into groups where we were given sections of the video to begin remaking. Whilst doing the remake it became clear how many actual cuts their were just in one short snippet. However, as we were only making our own version of what was already there it allowed us to be able to do it quickly as we had the music and could watch the video as many times as we wanted. We completed this within school I was with Sam and Frank and we got people in and around school. Mainly from our class and of course ourselves we were able to create the remake.

Quesion 1-In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Question 1 - In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?   Refer back to your research and music video conventions – what conventions did you use that are seen in music videos? ​ The popular media conventions we used for our pop genre consisted of the way in which our artist was dressed in in trend, fashionable clothing that our target audience would relate too. As they would shop in shops such as Topshop where our outfit is purchased from. In the pop genre the artists are expressed in a very sexual and seductive manor as a method of luring the audience in. The artist was to be dressed in a provocative way in order to open up our target audience to males aswell as women. This is clear through the use of the male gaze used upon Amber within the music video and by the outfit she is wearing. Although she does follow this key convention of sexualized dress from the shiny colloutes and belly top. she also challen
