Music Video Final

This is my final music video for my A2 coursework. This is the final version with all the changes made that I wanted to make in the drafting stages. This included the colour correction, slowing some of the clips down and changing some of the clips.

Digipak

Below is my Digipak which I have created for my artist. The Digipak is made up of a front page, two pages inside and a back page which includes the track details and the production details. I kept the front cover looking simple with the image of the artist and the title of the album making it easy to the audience to see what it is. I believe the simple front cover of the album with an image and the name of the album is able to quickly draw people in. it is appealing to the audience and would attract them to buy the album. Inside you can see a note from the artist making it look personal to the reader once again making them likely to buy the album. On the back of the Digipak I have displayed the track names next to the image of Beth where it looks like she is looking up at the track names. This once again would draw in the attention of viewers and would make them interested in the album.

I used studio photography to convey my artist and kept the images looking similar to stick to the house style and clearly link to the advert and the music video. My model is wearing a white sparkly dress which is featured in the music video, and includes both hair styles which are up and down. I believe that the white dress against the black background works well and makes the artist stand out being the main focus to the readers. In addition to this I kept the fonts linking to the colour scheme where I used white fonts and the main title a silver colour. This keeps it looking professional and too a firm house style. 

Album Advert

This is my final magazine ad which I completed today. I have decided to have the advert portrait as it looks a lot more professional and realistic compared to other magazine album adverts. I wanted to keep all three of my products looking similar through sticking to a house style throughout. to do this I wanted my artist in the same outfit in both the advert and Digipak, and wanted the colours to be exactly the same. The ratings are at the top of the page and are both 5 stars highlighting to the audience how good the album is. All of the text on the page sticks to white and grey colours which stand out well against the background colour. I decided to use this colour as it works well with the black background but also keeps to a house style through the colour of the dress.
I decided to use this image where she is giving direct eye contact to the audience as she looks like a real down to Earth artist, and the audience would not take her too seriously. In addition to this I believe that the image clearly highlights the genre of pop through the girly makeup and hair. I also like the positioning of the silvery grey text on top of the white dress and thought that this will draw readers into reading the information and therefore wanting to buy the album.
As well as the standard promotional method of the album advert being a poster I have also shown another method of how the advert will promote the album. The advert would be displayed on a bus stop where there would be lots of people everyday looking at it. This therefore would make people aware of the album and therefore would increase the sales. I decided to locate the advert on the bus stop as many teenagers often use public transport and therefore would be around bus stops. this suggests how the bus stop is the most suitable location to display the advert, as it would be shown to the target audience as well as a large number of other people.
