Blog update- Changes

Since the group came together we have made changes to the video, we have decided to go against having a narrative throughout the video and have now opted for a secftion of the video to have a performance scene, we have done this in the college's recording studio, this suits the conventions of alternative rock videos where we see the artist or group performing on stage or in a studio.

Blog update

We called a crisis meeting in our media lesson 30/01/2013, to discuss what we need to do in order to complete our coursework before the deadline on 13/02/2013. We discussed our lack of time management then structured how we would go about tackling the issues we had before.

Goodwin's conventions of music videos

Narrative theory

This is the video I did for narrative theory in relation to our music video.
I did this video to communicate my ideas visually instead of written on the blog.

1st draft for Ancillary product

This is our 1st draft for the ancillary product.

There is some things that need ironing out for example the join between between the two images, they need to blend in more to each other to like the bottom half of the product does.

The cartoon effect adds an extra element and looks visually inviting, it isn't exactly the same as what Gotye would have but in his other music videos he has a very creative vibe where characters are computer animated and not part of reality, the cartoon matches this.

Digi-Pak 1st draft

This is the rough draft of what our Digi-pak will look like as stated the bottom left and bottom middle covers will contain black and white images of a forest location as if the picture has been torn up. This idea of the picture being torn up relates to the broken relationship as seen in video product. We have incorporated the images of the 2 singers in our product been split up by the wooded area which features often in our music video.

Digi-Pak Template

This is the digipak template we are using, we have gone with a template that has 6 sections because it allows us to tell part of the story inside in the album cover, we will do this by using pictures from our video to link the two products together, the first idea we have is to have a picture of a male and female (the two from the video) so when the album is opened you see them facing each other then when you open it out further they part away from each other to show their separation.
