website progress

i am still in the process of putting my website together, i do most of the work from home but i keep changing the same things and i feel like ive come to a halt. however i am just leaving those things now and getting on with everything else.
Audiencei asked a few members of my audience about if the website i am in the process of making is what they would expect as my audience and after seeing the music video i created. They said that it is what they would expect too see as it's minimal and looks sharp, classy & clean. Which is also what i was aiming for.

Web Eden

I have decided to use webeden for my website as it gives me the templates that suite my artist is the most and it was quite diffcult to use at first but the more im on it the more i get used to it. Here is a picture of my progress so far.

changes

for my website i am going to organise a photoshoot with Nathalie for my website and i'll probably change my digipack.

website

now i am going to make a start on my website, i have signed up to WebEden and Moonfruit to try and start it but the computers in this school do not have the software that we can do it on. Same goes for any other sites which you can make websites on, and some of them are banned. Because the school doesn't have the software i will have to do the work at home therefore i have only my digipack to finally put together in timetabled lessons.

editing front picture

Digipack

my digipack is very nearly almost finished.

Here is the front cover

here is the back where there is a list of the songs (the clock is from google i am taking my own picture for my final one)

and here is the two potential inside covers, i will add the fact that they're is going to be a free poster and lyrics with the digipack.



Once again i will take a picture of my own clock to add to which ever i choose.

MEDIA VIDEO FINISHED

FINALLY today i got my last bit of my video filmed and edited! I was worried as the dress didn't zip up properly at the side but we filmed it so you couldnt see it. The lighting (spotlight) was perfect and it really brought out the sparkle in the dress and earrings making her look classy. It only took an hour to film and half an hour to edit.

Filming Tomorrow

Here is the email i recieved back from John saying that the hall is now booked for me to use tomorrow, i am going to get intouch with a member of Staff to see if there is a vintage microphone i could use as a prop too and also maybe some help with the lighting so its better quality. Tonight i will be preparing everything i need. I will blog later to update my progress.

The Weather

As i blogged previously - i wanted to film a scene in the snow. A few weeks ago i decided that its not worth the risk to wait for any snow as we might not get any or enough so i planned to film my video in the hall and started to plan to film on the schools stage instead, i have started storyboarding (even though i find it easier to just go with the flow) and i have selected costume and decided how i want her hair and make-up.

On friday we had heavey snow, carrying on on the Saturday evening so it is now pretty thick. Even though there is snow on the ground i have already got everything planned to do my filming in the hall. Also i believe it will fit my video style better anyway as it will look classy whereas outside in the snow could look dull, dark and trashy. This is what i think now, however here is the weather forecast for the rest of the week. If there is a day where it is sunny and snowy then i will see what to do and probably ask my audience which they would think is best too.

Trying to get last little bit filmed

Here is the email i have just sent to John asking if i can use the hall space this week to get my last bit of filming done for my video. There is not much left to do at all its only around 30 seconds therefore it shouldnt take too long to do so hopefully John will let me use it at somepoint as both me and nathalie are both free those periods so there is time to get costumes and make-up sorted before hand.



Digipack Front Cover

Here is the image i decided i would use this picture as my front cover digipack as my audience said that a picture of my artist is what they would expect my digipack to have on front cover.

I have edited the picture on picnik.com and added the text and made it look a bit more 'glam' and more music cover like.

I think this as my final front cover looks very attractive and will look appealing to my targeted audience, as the colours 'pink and black' is what they said would look best as a housestyle, so i have matched the colour of her lips. I decided to do everything black and white (apart from lips and title) because black and white gives that timeless effect, and with the housestyle of the full album being about time i thought it matched nicely and fits in well.

Research For Digipack

As i could not decide how to have my digipack, I thought I would ask my audience. To get the right feedback i decided too show my video to some year 11 students who take media studies too. I give them these questions too answer after they had finished watching. Unfortunately we didnt have enough time left for them to answer all of them so i told them to answer the ones they could.

Questions Digipack + Webpage
As part of my course I have to create a Music Video, Digipack and Webpage which should all merge together so they look professional. I need to ask you, my audience some questions about how you think they style of the Digipack(CD) and a webpage. Underneath you can see the webpage and CD for Coldplay


As you can see, they both have the same style/theme so you can tell it’s the same artist because of the way they have branded it. Same as their video ‘Every Tear Drop is a Waterfall’.


Now you have seen what I have done so far on my video I’d like your help and views so I can get more of an idea of what I should create for my Digipack and webpage…
Digipack
1. What would you expect to see on the front cover of the Digipack?

2. What colours would you think suites the Artist and Song for the Digipack throughout?

3. What do you think should be inside the Digipack on the background? Pictures of the artist? Or a colour? Or any other ideas?

4. Which name would you expect her to be called? Brielle or I-V?
     And what type of font do you think would suit it as a signature    look?

5. Can you think of any song titles that you’d expect from the album?

6. What free-bee or extra would you expect to get with this?

Webpage
1. What colour background would you expect?

2. What colour font and what type of font would you expect?

3. Would you expect the page to look busy? Classy? Modern?

4. What do you think the webpage could include so it would fit in with everything else?

I got some good feedback from my audience that has now made me decide which colours too use and what theme to have and also the best name for my artist. The audience who watched the video also give me great feedback about my video saying that they thought it was really good and it looks like a music video and they can tell who its inspired by.

Digipack and Webpage Questionnaire

Here is the Questionnaire i have created for my audience to do, i will let them watch what i have done with my video so far then take them through what i have to do as part of my course and then get them to answer the questions so i have more of a clear understanding of what they expect from this.

what i have been doing recently..

Recently i have been working my up coming exam for my media resit. I have also been looking at the pictures i have taken when i have been filming my video and have started to draw some drafts for my digi-pack. However, i don't know what will suite my audience best style-wise so need to ask my audience some quesitons. I will show them my music video so far and see what they believe and picture the digipack should be like. I think that is the best possible way i can grasp my audience.

I have now also decided that i cannot wait for the weather to suite me any longer and i need to film my last scene doing something different asap. I don't believe that we are going to get any snow which is what i pictured originally but now i want and need to get my video complete so i can focus more on the other two tasks we have to do and the evaluation.

Every lesson we have done since i have last blogged i have been playing around with different techniques on my video. I am constantly looking for what i could do to improve it and what effects i could use and if anything needs cropping out just so can try and get it too perfection. Here are some pictures i have been screenshotting of my work.

At the minute paint will not let me save my screen shot of my work which i am currently working on to show how i've progressed. I will upload a picture as soon as i can get it too work.
