Research into digi-paks

My next step after my magazine advert is to begin to create our digi-paks. As i am working in a group, we are individually going to create our own digi-paks and then choose which one will be the best. I decided to film my two cousins of what type of music they listen to and what type of album covers they would buy and why. Below are my videos:



In this video, Keeley talks about The Wanted's album and why she prefers it to Justin Biebers. She says that The Wanted album offers more to her as it contains more images, more information and has posters inside it. The Wanted album is a digi-pak which tells me that this comes to more of an interest to the audience as they are getting better value for their money as they have more to look at and read. I think that it is a very good idea that The Wanted have included extra posters inside their album as it means that their fans can keep these seperate from the album and could put them on their walls, this may make people want to buy this type of album rather than others. Below are some images of The Wanted digipak;







Here i have interviewed Kelsey who is a younger age of Keeley to ask her what she thinks of Dig-Paks. Kelsey states in this video that she does not really like Digi-paks as she thinks that their is too much contained into one thing. For example, some artists decide to do more than one CD in some of their digi-paks but kelsey said that she does not think that this is a good idea as the more CD's their are the more boring she finds them. I asked Kelsey what she would like to see in my digi-pak and she said more images than writing and bright colours as this would interest her more.

lip syncing

Before we started doing our music video, we had to make sure that we could all lip sync in time. Below is a video where we was practicing;

Photo shoot for digipak & magazine adverts

Tuesday 17th January 2012
Today, we went to our studio to do our photo shoot for our digipak and magazine advert. Below are some of the images which we took and will begin to edit in photoshop. We had to take a number of different images as we are a group so will all be using different images and to also make it look more interesting to our audience. Individually we will be making our own magazine adverts and then put them together to decide which one is the best one to use. We have got images from different angles, still images and moving images to add more of an affect.

Asking permission to film

As we are using actors in our music video which do not come to this school, we have to get permission to make sure that they are allowed on to our school premises.
Here is evidence that we emailed our media teacher to ask her if this would be okay and if she would be there for health & safety reasons.

Here is the email which i sent.












Here my teacher replied "ThaTs fine lauren, I will be here. J" This shows that we have been given the okay to get outside students into our school to be able to use them to film.

Meeting

Today, our group came together to discuss our important dates and schedule which we need to work towards. We have realised that we are working within a tight schedule so we all gave our thoughts in which we can do to make sure we meet our deadlines.

In our meeting, we went to book out our studio with our technician where we will be filming our performative scenes this wednesday. We told the technician what props & equipment we will be needing;

- Table
- Camera
- Tri-pod
- Microphone Stands
- Chair

On Wednesday we will be filming the performative scene which means that in the studio we should hopefully have our chorous scenes completed.
As the deadlines are tight, we realised we still needed to find 4 boys to be in our video.
Kerry found a friend of hers who said he will be happy to take part, to find the other boys, me and Chloe posted a status on facebook as this is where we could target our age range. We got responses from a friend called Anthony who said he will take part and also said he will ask his friends.

The next meeting, we will all begin filming but will be discussing what we need to do before we actually begin our shoot.
