Front Cover

For this photo of Amelia Waterson as Audrianna Cole, which was edited by Amelia Quinn, we had to take into consideration what type of font we should use by going onto a website called DaFont. At first I thought this particular font seemed to not work as it looked larger than it is now, however, with a bit of editing, we agreed that it worked in the end!

Digipack!

The following posts are of the features of our digipack so far.

Editing Days

The last two days, Wednesday and Thursday, have been Media Editing Days, so these consisted of editing our footage. We have most of our footage and we got some editing done but we still have a long way to go. Looking at the four other groups in our Media Studies class, we need to have more varying angles, however Sean is in the process of doing this.

Track Listing

In the end our group decided that instead we should do actual titles for Audrianna Cole's songs and create a few others. Most of the titles Sean and Amelia created had 2 words.

Track Listing Planning

For our Audrianna Cole digipack, I am considering what we could call her other tracks so we can make a back cover for the digipack with a track listing. I have looked at other artists' song names as they appear on their albums. The albums I have looked at include:

Coldplay - Parachutes (2000); songs such as "Shiver", "Yellow" and "Trouble" may have short, one word titles but has a larger effect than a song title with, for instance, six words, such as "I can't have it my way". 6 of the 10 songs on the album are actually one word titles, and most of them seem effective.

Adele - 21 (2011); songs like "Don't You Remember" and "He Won't Go" have longer titles than some of Coldplay's songs but they are still as effective as them.

Despite Coldplay and Adele having a slightly different feel to our Audrianna Cole song, this research is still useful as I wanted to have a base for the song titles for our digipack and I feel that these songs have effective titles.

Audience Feedback

I asked members of the public what they thought of our music video to see if it was conventional of the genre or whether it was not a typical music video.

Jenny: I thought it was excellent, the locations were good, the timing was spot on and the acting was not bad. However, even though I enjoyed the camerawork it could look more professional but I did enjoy the Alice in Wonderland theme, I thought that was quite clever. Not being an Indie fan myself, this music video would definitely make me change my mind about the genre!

Jack: I am a massive Indie fan but I felt this was not typical of the genre. I could see particular references that were excellent but generally I didn't get the feel that you get with other Indie videos and some of the camera angles were a bit repetitive. On the other hand, it was still a good piece of work.

Overall, I think there is a positive reaction, however I can see where we need to improve.

Yesterday's filming

Yesterday, our group filmed some more of the music video. I couldn't make it again but this is what happened:
Amelia and Sean filmed the opening scene by a large tree to create a similar feel to Alice in Wonderland and the rabbit hole.

They took different angles of Amelia W to make the scene more interesting to our audience and the viewer.
