Digi Pack research

After we have finished our music video we will be creating a digi pack for the songs cd itself. We will be making it look as professional as it should and also add creative ideas influenced by technology. I decided after looking at pictures of digi packs to look up some reseaurch online here is what i found:

"Digipaks typically consist of a gatefold (book-style) paperboard or card stock outer binding, with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a CD or DVD attached to the inside. Since Digipaks were among the first alternatives to jewel cases to be used by major record companies, and because there is no other common name for Digipak-style packaging made by other companies, the term digipak or Digi-Pak[2] is often used generically, even when the media holder is a hub or "Soft Spot"[3] rather than a full plastic tray".

This was found from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digipak

I also found out that they are currently inventing friendly environment digi packs in order to help the environment and making use of recycled objects/material.

More Filming

Other idea .....

As a group we elaborated on an idea that we will post sticker notes on Lexys door (the ex love interest) saying "tonight i let you go" she thinks nothing of it and it like OK then..... However she then walks up stairs to find them plastered everywhere which makes her angry yet somewhat sad because as much as she is mad she is upset that things have come to an end and wants him back despite knowing he doesn't believe in relationships and that they can work. We have agreed that we will film this scene on Monday at James' house.

Random idea .....

Today I was watching a music video of the song burning up by a band called Twenty Twenty. Their music video was based on a documentary of them gigging and touring all over and had shots of them as band messing around, meeting fans and performing. I saw a clip of them coming out of their dressing room and thought that in order to add more shot into our project we could perhaps include a dressing room door with The Colours printed on paper on the door and perhaps see them come out of the room ready to "perform" to make them look more believable as performing artists maybe?. I also thought about maybe adding in fans wanting them to sign things and linking in the story line buy showing the other two band members happy to see their fans and the lead singer not bothered and down so we notice that this situation is affecting the way he acts because he is still guilty for what he has done. these are just random ideas that i thought of and may not appear in our piece.

Digi Pack

I have been thinking about my groups digi pack for our media coursework. I came across a picture from the band Paramores Brick by boring brick video. They had taken pictures of the shoot and put them into a grid style picture so there are two pictures either side. I thought that perhapps we could use this idea for our and use 4 snap shots from out music video to put on the digi pack so the audience when they see it can relate the video to the song also i think it is a very creative and different way as not manny cds use this idea on their digi packs.

Here is the picture:

Today in lesson ....

Today in our lesson we continued editing the footage we have of our music video . We also decided on what else we need to fill in the gapes in the time line as well as trying out a new scene. We had Liam writing Tonight I let you go in capitals on paper as this is a scene before he Wrights more and leaves them posted around his ex girlfriends bedroom or her front door. We had to crop the footage in order for it to look right however we are not so sure whether we should include the footage we have or retake better ones. I think we will have to redo the shots and make them better.
