Updates

This week we have utilized lesson time and our own free time to edit what clips we have already filmed for the music video. We have also made all corrections to the digipak based on peer and teacher feedback and have handed in hard copies before the deadline expires. We are filming the remainder of the clips on Saturday and all off next weeks lessons and free time will go into editing what we have filmed.

This week we have been very productive and got a lot done despite not the most posts this week!

Feedback Digipak & Poster

Digipak template feedback

Overall my feedback from my peers as well as from my teachers is expected. I made some blatant errors that will need to be recorrected before I submit my final piece. From my peers I learnt that my digipak template will need to include a CD imprint and also a lyric book.

Music poster feedback

Overall on my music poster feedback the reception was very positive but i will need to make a few changes to layout. From my peers i learnt that the image needs to be enlarged in order to kill off dead space.
These corrections will be posted shortly as this will be my final piece including all areas of my digipak completed.

BLOG NOTICE

The deadline for the draft music video is due in on the 28th of October an 3:10.

we will sadly not meet the deadline as we have been un able to produce enough clips as the actor we are using has had a problem with getting too us as we have different college half terms and have been on holiday and other problems as he lives in a different county to myself and Jack. We apologise.

We are 100% finishing the filming on Saturday and should have the video fully edited by Wednesday 5th November. The video will be posted by at latest on Wednesday!

Vampire Weekend (Contra) Feedback

Also as an idea when creating many more variations of a cover to pick from, Mr ford told me to take inspiration from Vampire Weekend's Contra as it already had some existing features which had some relevance to my draft cover. Here is what I created;

overall I prefer my original cover but this was a good area to research and did help me overall create a better digipak cover.

Corrections: Music Poster

During my feedback I was also asked to make some alterations to my music poster. I was asked to incorporate a date for release of the album also to include the album name. This lead me to move the website and also the record label logo. making good use of the upper body. Also I have changed the text at the bottom to incorporate a digital element of sale into my advertisement, removing the vinyl aspect.

Corrections: Digipak Template

After my feedback from my teacher I was told to implement a few other features in my template digipak, I have completed these. I am yet to create my lyric book but that will be posted shortly.

I have flipped the text on the spine so it is facing the right way. I have put a record label logo on the spine and also a catalogue number. Also i have made the borders on the front and back of the digipak exactly the same.

Cover Ideas: Variations

When producing a CD front cover in the Indie genre a semi popular idea is to utilise many different image styles when creating the cover. This creates a good variation in the product and makes it sort of a collectable if one is printed far less than the others. A sort of special, edition if you will. Some really good examples of this could be found within New orders album cover and Arcade fires. This works very well with new orders as inside of their digipak next to the lyric book were these interchangeable images of each band member to put as the cover of your cd. This brings a personalised element to the CD and allows the consumer to pick their favourite band member and have them on the front. This gives them a choice rather than the artwork being sort of forced upon them per say. This is a good idea for my own cover as I have taken many images that are of high standard that didn’t quite make the cut so the idea would be practical. But in my opinion this sort of idea wont be featured as I believe that it works best with a band or a product featuring more than one person. Therefore will not be using this on my digipak cover. But this was definitely considered when creating my cover.
