7- flat plan for digipak

Task 6 - Inverstigation on CD sales

Task 5 - creating an already existing digipak

I copied on photoshop the Gotye - Making mirrors Digipak, Here is the original one

and here is the copie version I made on photoshop

I had to change some of the pictures due to being unable to find the actual ones but I would say they looked very similar.

Here is my final A2 Music video - Wake Me Up

Here is my A2 Music Video - 1st draft

Task 1- How musicians promote themselves

Tim Betglin or better known as avicii promotes him self in many different ways, This next picture is the promotional picture for my song wake me up:

  This is a very simple cover the main colour being brown and the writing very simple, i really like this promotional picture just because of the simplistic aspects of it and the avicii symbol being placed on the bottom very subtly, you know this is a avicii album within the very first glance.

 This is another poster picture and as you can see a trend appearing within his covers Tim Betglin being the main and only person in this cover he does this to promote himself and avicii, Also the covers are usually based on 1 colour this being black and white and the previous one being brown. The same as the previous one the avicii symbol has subtly been put on the bottom. The font and the writing is very effective due to the size and the font matching the artist genre.  

Task 4 - Star Image

General Star Image:

• If the artist is just showing himself and being the sole focus, this means they will be trying to advertise themselves more significantly
• The name needs to be easily recognizable and if very important for the audience to spot that this is their band so a font that is continuously being used in every album, poster, digipak etc. 
• The cover needs to be bright and if its a happy song a happy cover with many different bright colours if its a more inspirational song then more neutral colours should be used however this all depends of the theme and genre of the song.
• The digipak should flow it should all fit together, so a theme that can be found throughout the whole digpak, the same font and color is very important to make the whole digipak look professional.  
• To continue the profesional look all pictures and art need to look of high quality to give it the high quality look

My digipak:

• The theme needs to reflect the colours of the powder paint in my video, however at the same time the grey skies and the cold feeling of the beach 
• The 2 sisters on the front cover 
• The text needs to be bold and flashy 

Task 3 - the difference between digipaks and CD cases?

Task 2 - Font test

As you can see Avicii uses a very robotic style of font in their posters and this would be the same in the digipack. I have done a couple of testers:

My choice is the bottom right because I feel it is bold, stand out and still has the robotic feel that matches with the genre of the song.

Font: Braggadocio
size: 32

Filming

Over the past weeks I have been filming and editing. This process is harder and taking a lot longer than I had expected.
I realized that getting my cast together at the right time when there was perfect lighting was very hard and due to travels Alan and Elita were unable to be in my video so I have had to replace these characters with Katelyn and Fabian.

Fabian: Is an a level drama student and has a lot of experience of being in large drama production like Grease. He is perfect for this part as he has a strong dancing connection with Alice and has the style what I was looking for

   

Katelyn: Is perfect for this part with her blond hair. her role is to be Alice Dymovas little sister and she portrays this perfectly. She is a very good dance and she might not be taking GCSE drama but she fits the role and is very good at the part she plays.

 For the rest the other parts have been going fine, sometimes as I go along I change the planned shot angles due to lighting. I will be uploading my first draft soon.
