Final Music Video



This is our final outcome of our music video. We are pleased that we have achieved our aims though we have altered parts from our original storyboard and animatic. The use of colour scheme, location, mise-en-scene, and editing are really effective as it allowed our music video with a good continuity and smooth pace. We presented a long shot of the location to soften the transition from the change of setting. This is vital as if we did not do this, the change would be too sudden and the continuity would be ruined. We have added more shots that wasn't in the original storyboard and animatic, and through this helped us improved the music video.

Music Video Update



We have finished our last little bits of editing today. 
Our group have now finished our music video.

Album Digipak by Group

This is the design for our Album digipak:


This is the front of the booklet (the right is the cover, the middle is the back). We chose the colour blue as our main theme as it symbolizes optimism which reflects the album. The album is about achieving the artist's personal goal thus the title is called 'Take.Over' as in taking over the aim of the artist. It includes a close up of the artist for promotion, and to gain recognition. The album digipak also includes a Production Cast list where it acknowledges the team who produced the album.




This is the back of the booklet ( the left is the opposite of the front cover). This shows a personal message from the artist acknowledging the customer as well as the production team. The album has a photo of London Eye which implies that the artist comes from England. The other photo is also used for promotion, though it is not a close up nor a face shot, it shows the clothing of the artist which could suggest that the artist is giving out a unique sense of fashion people could recognize. 

This is the back of the Album. The album artwork shows the artist wearing ordinary clothes which contrasts the silhouette. The silhouette features wearing a hat and holding a mic; its pose could imply that it is performing. The meaning of this artwork is to show the difference between the performer and the artist showing his ambition to perform, and to become well recognised. 


This is where the CD will be placed over the image. This is an extreme close up of the photo on the opposite side of the case. This help promotes the artist, and this could gain recognition.

Our magazine advertisement fonts by Emily

As a group we decided on this font for our Artists name on the magazine advertisement:




This is the font  our group chose for the artists name to be in. This font is called 'Ethnocentric' and will also feature on our CD cover. We chose this because it is bold and is quite a wide font which attracts the eye. This is quite an urban and contemporary font which fits our genre well.


This is the font we have chosen for the Album's name 'Take.Over'. The font  is called 'Walkway' and will feature on our CD Cover. This is a regular font which is softer to look at compared to the artists name font. We have added the 'dot' in between to break up the word.
