IntroductionIntroductionFor my A2 coursework I have chosen to a music video. I chose this For my A2 coursework I have chosen to a music video. I chose this because I believe that a music video would be a lot easier than a film because I believe that a music video would be a lot easier than a film trailer. This is because I would not have to come up with a name. I did trailer. This is because I would not have to come up with a name. I did have to do a storyline for my video but it was easier than coming up have to do a storyline for my video but it was easier than coming up with a plot for a trailer. I also thought that it would be easier to do a with a plot for a trailer. I also thought that it would be easier to do a music video because I wouldn’t have had to use as many actors. Even music video because I wouldn’t have had to use as many actors. Even though my initial idea was to use more than one actor, I decided it though my initial idea was to use more than one actor, I decided it would be more effective to use one actor. Then, I would be able to focus would be more effective to use one actor. Then, I would be able to focus on that actor instead of lots of actors. on that actor instead of lots of actors.

When I was researching various media products I was researching various media products I was interested on what types of techniques was interested on what types of techniques the videos use to attract their specific the videos use to attract their specific audience. Once I had decided on the artist audience. Once I had decided on the artist and genre, then I looked into the different and genre, then I looked into the different techniques that are used in the media techniques that are used in the media products. For the silhouette technique, I products. For the silhouette technique, I have tried to make my actor as dark as have tried to make my actor as dark as possible so I made him wear black. Even possible so I made him wear black.

Moving on ‘In My Head’ by Jason Derulo. Moving on from the silhouette technique, I believe that from the silhouette technique, I believe that I have made my video as conventional as I I have made my video as conventional as I can. Similar to Usher’s music video ‘OMG’, I can.

There are a few shots where there is a close up on my shots where there is a close up on my actor’s face.actor’s face.

I am also pleased with the amount of cuts I am also pleased with the amount of cuts that I used because they are frequent and that I used because they are frequent and some of them even cut within the beat of some of them even cut within the beat of the music.

To improve my video, I was told that adding more effects would make it look To improve my video, I was told that adding more effects would make it look a lot more professional. So that is what I did. Using Pinnacle Studios, I added a lot more professional. So that is what I did. Using Pinnacle Studios, I added effects such as ‘Earthquake’ and ‘Negative’ and I have to say that I am very effects such as ‘Earthquake’ and ‘Negative’ and I have to say that I am very pleased with what was produced.pleased with what was produced.

Continued…Continued…These are my other media products. I believe that they all do These are my other media products. I believe that they all do use conventions of existing media products. They may not look use conventions of existing media products. They may not look as realistic as professional media products but I did my best with as realistic as professional media products but I did my best with the technology that I had. As you can see, I have used the same the technology that I had. As you can see, I have used the same techniques as the professional album covers and more or less techniques as the professional album covers and more or less the same idea. Like the professional media products, I have the same idea. Like the professional media products, I have used bright colours and bold text. Even though the title on the used bright colours and bold text. Even though the title on the professional media product is more plain than mine, I wanted it professional media product is more plain than mine, I wanted it to look ‘wacky’ and eye catching. I did have one person tell me to look ‘wacky’ and eye catching. I did have one person tell me that they couldn’t read it, so I changed it ever so slightly so that that they couldn’t read it, so I changed it ever so slightly so that the person can read it. When I was thinking of what background the person can read it. When I was thinking of what background to use, I had a look at what ‘Big Ali’ had used on his album to use, I had a look at what ‘Big Ali’ had used on his album cover. I noticed that he used an image of himself. I thought of cover. I noticed that he used an image of himself. I thought of using this technique before I saw his album cover and I had using this technique before I saw his album cover and I had already taken photos to use on my album cover. I couldn’t already taken photos to use on my album cover. I couldn’t decide which image to use. After finding so many (which are my decide which image to use. After finding so many (which are my first designs), I found the one that I finally used. I thought it was first designs), I found the one that I finally used. I thought it was perfect because it is bright, colourful and fits in with the title of perfect because it is bright, colourful and fits in with the title of the album ‘Neon Lights’. However, I couldn’t decide which the album ‘Neon Lights’. However, I couldn’t decide which image to use of my actor, but then my actor came up with an image to use of my actor, but then my actor came up with an idea of doing a one-handed handstand for me to use. Once I had idea of doing a one-handed handstand for me to use. Once I had picked my background image, I experimented with the image of picked my background image, I experimented with the image of my actor and couldn’t decide where to place him on the cover. I my actor and couldn’t decide where to place him on the cover. I had edited the image of actor using Macromedia Fireworks and had edited the image of actor using Macromedia Fireworks and took the background out so that it was just an image of him. took the background out so that it was just an image of him. After looking at my background image again, I noticed that After looking at my background image again, I noticed that there is a small part of the ‘city’ that there is a smaller building there is a small part of the ‘city’ that there is a smaller building than the others and that would be the perfect place to put my than the others and that would be the perfect place to put my image. It looks as if he is actually doing a handstand on top of image. It looks as if he is actually doing a handstand on top of the building. I also like how the actor looks like he is balancing the building. I also like how the actor looks like he is balancing the title on his feet. On the professional album cover, the actor the title on his feet. On the professional album cover, the actor has been sharpened tohas been sharpened to stand out more. That is what I did with stand out more. That is what I did with my actor’s image. I also sharpened the background image as my actor’s image. I also sharpened the background image as well. As for the album back, I didn’t want to use exactly the well. As for the album back, I didn’t want to use exactly the same background image so I found a similar image on Google same background image so I found a similar image on Google and decided to use that. It is more colourful and (with an image and decided to use that. It is more colourful and (with an image of my actor) looks very professional. For the text, I wanted it to of my actor) looks very professional. For the text, I wanted it to stand out, but not so much that you couldn’t read it. At first, I stand out, but not so much that you couldn’t read it. At first, I tried the colour white but I thought it looked too plain, so I tried the colour white but I thought it looked too plain, so I playedplayed

around with the different colours and decided to keep it around with the different colours and decided to keep it red. I also didn’t want the font to be plain so I kept it red. I also didn’t want the font to be plain so I kept it simple but I believe it looks very effective because it simple but I believe it looks very effective because it really catches your eye. I wanted it to be exactly the really catches your eye. I wanted it to be exactly the same on the front and back of the cover. As for the same on the front and back of the cover. As for the image on the back, I wanted to use a different image to image on the back, I wanted to use a different image to what was on the front and I had taken lots of photos, so what was on the front and I had taken lots of photos, so I had lots to choose from. I actually edited the image in I had lots to choose from. I actually edited the image in Fireworks and used the ‘Negative’ effect. I also added Fireworks and used the ‘Negative’ effect. I also added an image of a barcode because it makes it look more an image of a barcode because it makes it look more like an album and not just an image.like an album and not just an image.

The image below I didn’t actually have to do but I decided to keep inside the CD case. The image below I didn’t actually have to do but I decided to keep it anyway. I believe that the inside slip could be slightly more professional. However, I it anyway. I believe that the inside slip could be slightly more professional. However, I think that how it looks now is better than I thought it would be. Firstly, I wanted the think that how it looks now is better than I thought it would be. Firstly, I wanted the background image to be similar to the backgrounds on the cover and back. Instead of background image to be similar to the backgrounds on the cover and back. Instead of finding a similar image, I just decided to use the same image that was on the album finding a similar image, I just decided to use the same image that was on the album back. Like before, I only edited a little bit. All I did, was sharpen the image in back. Like before, I only edited a little bit. All I did, was sharpen the image in Macromedia Fireworks so that it stood out. As for the main image, I decided to use a Macromedia Fireworks so that it stood out. As for the main image, I decided to use a completely different image instead of having everything the same. I wanted to show completely different image instead of having everything the same. I wanted to show that I had taken a range photos and this particular image I like because it is in black that I had taken a range photos and this particular image I like because it is in black and white. I wanted contrast between the background image and the main image. and white. I wanted contrast between the background image and the main image. The background image is very bright and active, where as the main image is calm. The background image is very bright and active, where as the main image is calm. The next thing I thought about was the text and the font. I wanted to keep the font The next thing I thought about was the text and the font. I wanted to keep the font exactly the same as the cover and back text because it would have looked out of exactly the same as the cover and back text because it would have looked out of place to have a different font. However, I wanted to have different colour text on the place to have a different font. However, I wanted to have different colour text on the inside slip. I wasn’t sure what to put on the inside slip so I researched some on the inside slip.

I internet and eventually found a few that would help me decide what to put on mine. I found a professional inside slip that had a technique on it that I thought was very found a professional inside slip that had a technique on it that I thought was very effective. It had a small quote from the lyrics of the main song. I thought that this was effective. It had a small quote from the lyrics of the main song. I thought that this was a good idea so I decided to do that with mine, so I took out a few lyrics from the song a good idea so I decided to do that with mine, so I took out a few lyrics from the song and added them to the top of my inside slip. I also wanted it to be a different colour and added them to the top of my inside slip. I also wanted it to be a different colour so that it would stand out. When I researched the inside slips, I found that all of them so that it would stand out. When I researched the inside slips, I found that all of them had details of the album on them such as who produced it, when it was released etc. I had details of the album on them such as who produced it, when it was released etc. I thought that I had to put that on mine otherwise it wouldn’t look professional.thought that I had to put that on mine otherwise it wouldn’t look professional.

The only reason that I have done a CD design is because when I was making my The only reason that I have done a CD design is because when I was making my poster, I wanted to put it on there. I didn’t end up using the CD design on my poster, I poster, I wanted to put it on there. I didn’t end up using the CD design on my poster, I just wanted to see what it would look like.

I started simply with a ‘doughnut’ shape in Macromedia Fireworks. I edited it it. I started simply with a ‘doughnut’ shape in Macromedia Fireworks. I edited it slightly so that it looked more like a CD outline and then thought about what I wanted slightly so that it looked more like a CD outline and then thought about what I wanted to put on it.

The song I chose was a ‘feel good’ tune so I had to have something on screen that wasn’t dull or The song I chose was a ‘feel good’ tune so I had to have something on screen that wasn’t dull or boring. There are certain parts of the song that the lyrics are telling us to do something such as boring. There are certain parts of the song that the lyrics are telling us to do something such as ‘let me see your hands up, everybody put your hands up’. I decided to actually have my actor ‘let me see your hands up, everybody put your hands up’. I decided to actually have my actor do that on screen. I had him perform a dance move that had his hands up in the air and because do that on screen. I had him perform a dance move that had his hands up in the air and because the song is an up beat song, I made sure that the dancer moves around and makes the the song is an up beat song, I made sure that the dancer moves around and makes the audience feel as if they are dancing as well. Some parts of the song slow down a little bit so I audience feel as if they are dancing as well. Some parts of the song slow down a little bit so I had to make my actor dance as though the song has only become quieter. So he suggested had to make my actor dance as though the song has only become quieter. So he suggested doing the ‘robot’. It is still up beat and happy, but he has only slowed his dancing down by a doing the ‘robot’. It is still up beat and happy, but he has only slowed his dancing down by a small amount. Even though there isn’t an obvious story line, I still believe that my music video small amount. Even though there isn’t an obvious story line, I still believe that my music video has all of the conventions that a professional, dance music video would have. In professional, has all of the conventions that a professional, dance music video would have. In professional, dance music videos, if the song gets faster, then the dancers usually pick up their pace and dance music videos, if the song gets faster, then the dancers usually pick up their pace and perform amazing dance moves. I think I have done exactly the same. When the song gets faster perform amazing dance moves. I think I have done exactly the same. When the song gets faster at the beginning, I added faster cuts and the dancer starts to dance a bit faster. I even added a at the beginning, I added faster cuts and the dancer starts to dance a bit faster. I even added a ‘club light’ effect when the artist shouts through the song. This is because the audience can ‘club light’ effect when the artist shouts through the song. This is because the audience can imagine themselves in a club dancing to the song. There isn’t a moment during the music video imagine themselves in a club dancing to the song. There isn’t a moment during the music video where the visuals are contradicting the lyrics.where the visuals are contradicting the lyrics.

Throughout my music video, there is a relationship between the music and the visuals because Throughout my music video, there is a relationship between the music and the visuals because as the beat of the music gets faster, so does the dancer. This is very conventional in a dance as the beat of the music gets faster, so does the dancer. This is very conventional in a dance music video. As well as getting faster, when the beat of the music gets slower, then so does the music video.

I wanted to tell the audience to pursue your and I wanted my dancer to portray that on screen. I wanted to tell the audience to pursue your talents because everyone hides their talents. My dancer in the video doesn’t care who is talents because everyone hides their talents. My dancer in the video doesn’t care who is watching or what people think, he is just enjoying himself. Another thing I have done is when the watching or what people think, he is just enjoying himself.

As you can see, behind the main artist are neon lights. I couldn’t have behind the main artist are neon lights. I couldn’t have any lights like that because they are very expensive any lights like that because they are very expensive but I tried to match this idea by putting ‘neon’ effects but I tried to match this idea by putting ‘neon’ effects onto the video.

In my music video, I wanted to keep the idea In my music video, I wanted to keep the idea of bright colours and a happy mood, that’s of bright colours and a happy mood, that’s why most of the video was filmed outside in why most of the video was filmed outside in the sun or the snow. Before I started my the sun or the snow. Before I started my album cover and back, I searched on the album cover and back, I searched on the internet for images that have neon lights on internet for images that have neon lights on them. This is because I wanted the them. This is because I wanted the background of the album cover to be eye background of the album cover to be eye catching and bright. I wanted it to match the catching and bright. I wanted it to match the theme of the music video. However, I didn’t theme of the music video. However, I didn’t want to use exactly the same background want to use exactly the same background image on the poster as the one on the album image on the poster as the one on the album cover and back.

What have you learned from your What have you learned from your audience feedback?audience feedback?

I have asked four people on what they think of my products and I overall, they liked them. Firstly, they have I have asked four people on what they think of my products and I overall, they liked them. Firstly, they have said that they liked the main colour scheme and the ‘neon’ effect and how it matches the name of the song and said that they liked the main colour scheme and the ‘neon’ effect and how it matches the name of the song and album. They also think that they look professional and how it looks like an actual album and poster. Below are album. They also think that they look professional and how it looks like an actual album and poster. Below are the stages I went through from one of my first attempts, through to my final product. I did do more drafts than the stages I went through from one of my first attempts, through to my final product. I did do more drafts than below but they are very similar. These are the ones with the most changes. When I asked for feedback the very below but they are very similar. These are the ones with the most changes. When I asked for feedback the very first time, they suggested keeping the title and the main image but changing the background and getting rid of first time, they suggested keeping the title and the main image but changing the background and getting rid of the lights at the bottom. So I took the advice and did another draft. I changed the background as suggested and the lights at the bottom. So I took the advice and did another draft. I changed the background as suggested and kept the title and image. I actually changed the background image because it was a different colour but I didn’t kept the title and image. I actually changed the background image because it was a different colour but I didn’t like the original colour. When I asked for feedback after the new design, they said that they liked it but I could like the original colour. When I asked for feedback after the new design, they said that they liked it but I could have changed the main image because it was boring compared to the other images I had taken. So I changed have changed the main image because it was boring compared to the other images I had taken. So I changed the main image with a more interesting image I had taken and I personally think that changing it was a good the main image with a more interesting image I had taken and I personally think that changing it was a good idea. You can see the image more clearly because the other image looked too dark. I also like how I have idea. You can see the image more clearly because the other image looked too dark. I also like how I have placed the image because it looks like he is holding the title in his hand and it looks lots more brighter. Once I placed the image because it looks like he is holding the title in his hand and it looks lots more brighter. Once I decided to keep the main image, I tried some other designs to see what they would look like. The next image decided to keep the main image, I tried some other designs to see what they would look like. The next image below is the first image that I used a city background. It is not very clear but I just wanted to see what it would below is the first image that I used a city background. It is not very clear but I just wanted to see what it would look like.
