Final Music Video

Final Ancillary Texts

My Final DigiPak Draft:

My Final Magazine Advert Draft:

23. Evaluation Question 1. In what ways does your media project use, develop or challenge forms an conventions of real media products?

24. Evaluation Question 2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

25. Evaluation Question 3: What have you learned from your audience feedback?

For this evaluation question I made am only presentation  software, PowToon, due to technical difficulty I was not able to upload the presentation as an embedded file like I am able to with Prezi presentations, however, I have exported the presentation to YouTube and have embedded the video into Blogger for this post.



After getting more feedback on my evaluation I was told that I should go into more detail on how I improved my products after my feedback.

This is the first draft of the music video before the feedback that I got regarding it, I improved the video by adding more transitions, slow motion editing and footage in order to further plot and give a rough narrative 



This is the final edit of my music video after the improved editing and narrative

26. Evaluation Question 4: How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

22. DigiPak Drafts

9/03 This is the first rough draft of my Digipak using, images taken from the internet that I will reference. However, as part of the ancillary assignment I have to use all original photos which I was not aware of, however, I am going to stay still images of my music video, draw images and take new images to put on my DigiPak in order to meet the requirements of the assignment. This is not the draft that I will be submitting but, I feel this has helped with ideas of what I want to put on my album.

9/03 This is what my DigiPak looks like without any of the found images on. This is what I will now work from when forming the rest of my DigiPak using my own images.

This is my new DigiPak idea, I have taken some inspiration from the White Album by The Beatles:

The inspiration for my digipak style came from this album, I have obviously already changed the style quite a lot more as I have added a colour album title and I have also used black pages, in contrast to this album as every page is white.

This album by The Beatles challenges many conventions of Album covers; the albums track lists are located on the disks themselves, this is unconventional but also fairly impractical as one might want to choose a song but the disk would be in the CD player so the listener would be unable to see the track number of the song they want to play.

As You can see below, I have decided to change to colour scheme of my digipak, I have decided to use blue and orange, this would make the album stand out as the two colours compliment each other as they are opposites on the colour wheel.

In changing the colour scheme I had to also change the colour of one of my pictures, I have to use the magic selection tool to select the clouds and fill them in the colour that  matched my scheme. I did the same with the discs, the tracklist and the title on the front cover.

Due to feedback from my peers and teacher on how the orange was standing out a little bit too much, in order to fix this I used the fill swatches on Photoshop and I toned it down to more subtle orange colour.
