CD and Advert Pitch

We have done our pitch presentations on the 11th December and got some feedback and recommendations from our class that we might find quite useful during the creation of the print products.

- fonts represent genre and style of music video
- the third one and last one would look good as it is simple and not too childish
- don't use pink light, stick with ordinary lights and add in any other effects after
- white backdrop would be good



CD package and magazine ad case studies improvement

I have improved the case studies for the print products.

Pitch Presentation (Prezi)

We presented our pitch of our ideas of the CD package and advert in today's lesson.

Case studies (finished presentation)

Today, I have finished my case studies presentation of my analysis of the album cover and adverts of Lady Gaga's Joanne, Halsey's Badlands and Sia's 1000 Forms of Fear albums. I think looking at these three artist was really helpful in terms of coming up with ideas of what to put on the CD package and the magazine advert I am going to be making, and I realised that synergy is present in all of the products of these artist, both in house style and images. 

Finding case studies

In today's Media lesson, I have tried to find CD package case study examples, and looked at a few from artists similar to Melanie Martinez and her style.
I've started making a prezi about the case studies.





The album that I will be looking at in terms of CD package and magazine advert are going to be:

Lady Gaga -  Joanne

Sia - 1000 Forms of Fear

Halsey - Badlands

I have chosen these 3 artists as they are similar to Melanie Martinez's aesthetic and style, and Halsey is similar to her in terms of music style too.

Finished Music Video

This is our final and finished version of our music video, and overall, we are all very pleased with it, however, if I was to make a music video again, I would definitely do things such as scheduling filming better and have more organisation in terms of what we do when we do plan to film. Though I like how it looks and the way it had turned out. 

Focus group feedback

We have done a focus group for our music video and we got rather great feedback that will help us during the editing of the video.

- good concept
- a narrative would make it better
- good use of different locations and similar lighting, worked well with the music video
- used both location's shots constantly from beginning until the end
- good use of cuts, especially where the balloon cuts and table falls, matches well with the beat
- narrative/timeline is confusing at bits
- the shot at the end isn't very good but could be improved by a shot where the character "hits" the camera and it falls down
- taking the wig off doesn't really relate to the rest of the music video and lyrics
