Draft 2

This is the 2nd draft of my music video. Due to my actresses going to New York for a week, we all struggled to find time to film more than what we already had. This is due to us not being as organised as we should have been. I intend to have everything filmed in the next to weeks so I have time to make sure my video is the best it can be.

Draft 2 Upload Problems

When trying to upload my music video to YouTube I've been having multiple problems with it loading. I have tried numerous times to upload the video and will continue to try throughout the week.

Every time I have tried to upload the video it either says it will take around 280 minutes and then crashing half way through of just saying 'upload pending' as shown in the screen shot below.

I will continue to try and upload my video.

Potential Colour Themes

These are potential colour themes for my digipak. I am torn between keeping the colours black and white or adding just a little bit of colour for effect. I might try both when creating my magazine advertisement and album cover and see which looks best. I may also do a survey on both to see what the audience think about the colour themes to get the most effective and accurate result. 

Mock up of magazine advertisement

  

These are draft mock ups of how my magazine advertisement might be laid out. I have some ideas about what image I want to use for my magazine advertisement and front cover. I also want a black and white colour theme as I feel it is relative to the 'rock and roll' music genre.

Conventions of a digipak

Font Ideas

To decide which font would look best on my digipak I decided to use a font generator to get some ideas. I knew I wanted the font to be more 'manly' as the voice of the person singing the song is a man. This way it would be a continuing theme throughout the whole product. I also wanted the font to portray an indie rock theme as that is the genre of the music. This is why I chose more 'rough' looking font ideas. My favourite would probably be either the 'Ed_Gein' font or the 'Bad Saubia Swing' as I feel they link well with the song.

Inspiration for album cover

 

These album covers stood out to me because I like how the names of the artists stand out on the cover, and also I like how they are all different, yet stand out in their own way by having one main feature to focus on. My favourite album cover is probably the 'UNPLUGGED' cover as I like how its an actual picture but made to look like it has been moved around. I want to incorporate something like this for my album cover. The other album cover that particularily stands out to me is the one with the guitar across the cover. I think this looks really effective as it adds depth to the image by creating lines, but also it links with the context as the genre is indie rock, so a guitar is a relavant prop to use.
