Final Digipack

Making of Digipack

this is experimental work that we did with this photo to make it how we wanted it for our inlay. it shows the processes that we went through on photoshop to adjust the settings of the photograph to make it appropriate.

Making of Digipack

The front cover.

this is the photograph that was added onto the front page, it has had its background erased and has been cropped in photoshop.
this is the process of the editing in photoshop.

this is the photograph once it had been edited.

i really like this, it shows how she is miserable on more than one occasion, the wall with graffiti on is perfect to fit in to the theme, we have brightened the wall and made the colour of the graffiti stand out more.

we still need to add the band name and song name to the front cover and i think that we will do this on the wall on top of the graffiti.

These are fonts that we have found and have been experimenting with them and trying to decide which to use for our front cover.

Making of Digipack

These are the original images for our digipack.

this photo is the one that we used to edit into the back ground of our front cover. it was taken in my grandmothers back garden on a old fashioned swing.

this was taken in a little alley way under a brigde. it is dark and gloomy which sets the scene. it will be used for the back cover of our digipack.

This was also taken under the bridge, it is going to be used to make the CD.

this is going to make the first page on the inlay of the digipack, it also was taken under the brigde.
Yet again, taken under the bridge, we wanted to have all our photos in the same place because after doing research we realised this was quite common, also we feel that if they are all simular it will be more memorable for the viewer to think about the CD case. this will be used as our CD front cover.

Evaluation Question 4

How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

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

WE have done much reearch into other music videos and have tried to make it realistic, we have used camera techniques that are used in real media products and we have used professional programmes which allow us to make a final product that resembles ones in the media market today.

our prodcust was made in 4 amin stages, these include, planning, research, construction and evalutaion.

The reseach stage was conducted mainly by the interent, we used websites to find music videos and we evaluated them. One major part of this stage was using Youtube., this website has become enormosly popular over the past few years and allows peoplt to share videos worldwide. We have been experiecing techolicial diffuculties and therefore have not yet been able to upload our video, however this was ou intention as it is a brilliant way of getting feedback.

The Planning stage was also made up of some research so that we could be inspired by previous videos, we felt it was very important to watch the orirgional video of 'when the sun goes down' so that we could relate to the storyline and understand how the director felt about this song, we also researched into the meaning of the song so that not only could we interpret it in our own way, we could also interpret it in other peoples views. The planning is essential for the success of the video so that we can plan the storyline according to the song and also fit the vidoe to the lyrics. To us it was essential that we planned the locations of our filming because we were looking for specific areas that were 'run down' and gloomy.

Contsruction is obviously the most important part of the project. It was a long progess and we experienced many technological difficulites along the way which we manages to overcome. we were fortunate enough to have the use of Adobe Elements 3.0 and so our consrtiction was a success.

Evaluation is essential for the success of a video as is feedback, it was very important that throughout the construction we took on board critism so that we were able to improve nay parts that views did not like or did not understand. Not only for the construction but also for our experience it was important to evaulate our product so that next time we are able to make an even more successful video that will appeal even more so to viewers.
