Final Digi Pack


The DVD cover was all designed around the colours in the picture. We have made the background on the back cover a picture of the band walking away this is effective as it is the back of the artist is shows and implies that it is the back of the DVD cover. We added quotes to make it look good and more realistic.

Magazine Advert

We chose the colours of the advert as they blend well with the picture. We chose this picture as it was taken from our music video so it is a true representation of what our video is like. The picture also shows all of the band members.

Magazine Advert Analysis

DVD covers

Front Cover:
The Main focus of the front cover is the artist (Jennifer Lopez) so fans can easily recognise that this is a piece of her merchandise. It has the title of the DVD is small writing underneath the artists name and there is also the DVD symbol at the bottom left hand corner.

Back Cover:

On the back cover, there is the bar-code, this exists on every DVD that is made. Also it tells you the contents of the DVD and CD that are included. The credits and copy rights are located at the bottom of the back cover in very small print. The are 6 logo right at the bottom which are the record company, the DVD manufacture, the format and the DVD symbol. We do not recognise the other 2 logos.

The spine:
The colouring of the DVD case made it difficult for us to take a picture of it, so we decided to just describe in instead. The title and artist are on the centre of the spin with the record company logo on the top and the DVD symbol on the bottom.

The Inside covers:
On the inside covers there is just 2 images of the artist, This premotes her image and shows off her beauty.

The DVD and CD:
The DVD and CD have been made to look like film reals. They contain the title, the artists name, the copy right information and all of the logos.

The Booklet:
In the booklet, there are 23 images of the artist which again promote her style. All of her songs that are included in the DVD and CD are listed with the credits for each song. There is also the copy right information on the back page and again, all of the logos.

Ideas for DVD cover and Magazine Advert



These are 2 images that we are thinking to use for our DVD cover. The reason we have chosen all of these is becasue they show the whole 'band'.

Our Feedback for the Comments on our Video

When filming the music video we tried to incorporate everything that was needed to be included in this genre type music video. From the comments we can see that we have achieved our goal as all of tem are positive. We as a group also think that our music video is similar to videos made my 'Sugarbabes' and 'Atomic Kitten'. We tried to base our idea on girl groups such as these as they are in the same category as the song we were given. The costumes that we used were all borrowed from friends as we didnt own maxi dresses. The reason we chose to wear maxi dresses was because in the era the song was released, these dresses were in fashion. We tried very hard to make the lip syncing correct and it definatly showed through the commentsthat we recieved.
U2-58
lip sync was very platinum. The outfits were appropriate and fitted the genre of the song. The girls in the video were voyeurism and sell the artists because they are the focus and only ones in the video. The clothing went well with the song and the atmosphere conjoined with the theme of the song. The setting of video matched the genre of the song.

Group 59 Feedback

Voyeurism
-Lots of women in feminine dresses
Genre Characteristics
-All women singers
-Sharing lines
-Dream-like
-Natural surrounding
Visuals and Music
-Shots fit the music well
-Slow pace of cuts to match the music
Visuals and Lyrics
-Well timed lip-synching
-Hand movement matches the 'flame' lyric
Intertextuality
-Similar to Atomic Kitten and Sugababes album covers
-Similar to the Flora by Gucci advert
Need to sell the artist
-The singers are always central and on screen
-Dresses appear to be luxurious and expensive, suggesting success and wealth
-Nice surroundings complement the singers

Feedback to finished footage from aiden bethan and verity

Voyeurism - good use of close ups and varied shots and visuals.
Genre Characteristics - was typical to the genre of track used. Good use of location and costumes...
Visuals/musics - matched tempo of music. editing was good with changing scenes and shots.
Visuals/lyrics - good use of actions and linked to lyrics, lip syncing was in time and worked well.
Intertextuality - no ref to anything else, there was no need.
Need to sell the artist - close ups of group and individually, good outfits that are timeless and classic.
Conclusion
As a group we think the video worked well and looks like a proper video that could be used today. The editing worked well and showed good skills and you can see time and effort was put into it.

The video sold the artist well, as the camera was always focused on them performing without the audience having to lose focus on other aspects of the video. This also was a very conventional video for the genre of the song.

In this video they used lots of voyeurism as it was completely focused quite close up on the three girls. They were all wearing pretty dresses and boys would be attracted to them.

There actions fitted with the lyrics for example it is a slow paced ballad, so it had them walking and not doing anything too drastic or over the top actions.

As the versus change so does the location, and girl. This also sells the artist as all 3 girls get close ups on their own. The lip syncing also fitted with the music which made it look more convincing.

Final Preliminary Video


We found that our preliminary task was reasonably easy and turned out to be a success despite the fact that some of our footage was not captured due to a malfunction with the camera. It was helpful that our friend agreed to help us with such short notice as well because she filmed for us as Ben was absent that day.
We learnt that you have to make sure you get the miming perfect because otherwise the whole clip looks stupid. We also learnt that we need to capture lots of footage of the whole song in case we change our minds on how we want the clip to look.

Storyboards and Shot Lists
















In our music video we have asked our friend abi to be filmed with us as we needed a third person to sing with us. We will all be wearing maxi dresses and we will use a range of shots to vary the time between the three of us. We have chosen several locations to film in. These are all based around the outside section of college. We wanted to make it seem natural as thats the vibe we got from watching the actual video of the song. Here are some pictures of it.

We decided to take some quick pictures of some outfits that we were thinking of using. We are glad we did this because it showed us how they would look and it gave us time to decided if we wanted to use the dresses or not.
