I have edited my poster into three different possible colours that I like, I am then going to ask my audience which one they prefer out of these four

Journal 15.11.13

Today I have been working on my second draft of my digipak. I have been editing it according to the feedback I received on Monday. So far I have changed a few of my images in the collage as they were the same as the ones inside of the digipak, which on reflection doesn't look very professional. I am also in the process of changing my 'acknowledgements' panel as I think it is too text heavy and something else may be more suited there. I might have to take a few more images for my digipak as for these panels I may just have some images from around London that connote the 'urban/dance' direction that my digipak seems to have taken.

Digipak Pitch

Journal 11.11.13

Today we presented our first drafts of our digipaks to the class. We talked about each panel and explained why we put what we did on each panel. I got mainly positive feedback from mine saying that the genre came across well, it was aesthetically pleasing etc. However, I did get some constructive criticism saying that there was perhaps too much writing on my digipak and I will take this into consideration on my second draft and perhaps revise some panels with a lot of text on them.

Digipak shoot - Weds 16th October

 These shots are the ones that Dylan will be using on his front cover, however I will be using them too for a few of my polaroid shots. This way, our digipak's will be different but they will still link to each other.

 These are a few of the Rabbit head on I might use one of these for the competition panel on my digipak

This is the shot Kate wants to use for her front cover, I think I will again use it in my collage so that there are links between the front covers.

Digipak Idea

I want to have a pile of Polaroid images as my front cover.
I will take the photos myself, then print them out with a
Polaroid style border. I will then pile them up and
take a separate image of them all piled up.

I want one of my panels to be a head shot of Scott Garcia.
Although his appearance will be shown to get the
audience to be able to recognise him, his appearance
is still not the main focus as it appears inside and not
on the cover

I want one of my sections to have a competiton to win
the rabbit head used in the Warrior's Dance music
video, it then links to the video without just putting
a screenshot from the music video.

I want the back to be in a Polaroid style too with the song
names on the bit where the writing would go. I am still
unsure what image to put in the frame though.

I am still yet to decide what other things will appear on my two other panels, however I am thinking I will use location shots that I am planning to take when I go on a shoot with Kate to take her pictures for the Digipak

Green Screen Analysis

Rihanna digipak analysis

Automatically the genre of this digipak is evident through the use of the colour. The use of flowers both on the digipak and on the actual compact disk conveys a very girly and feminine theme to the digipak. The fact that the flowers in the digipak are red roses could suggest romance and seduction.

 This is further supported by the fact that Rihanna is strewn across the flower bed with the outline of her body on show, showing her feminity. Her body, however, is not completely exposed; with the roses covering her cleavage and her legs covered by a big netted skirt (which could resemble a ballerina - dainty). Her only skin on show is her arms and neck area, which aren't sexualised parts of the body. Her clothing is white; which can suggest innocence and purity, contrasts with her red hair; which has the connotations of seduction and promiscuity could show that the artist has two sides to her personality and this may come across in her music.  The colour red is a theme that runs throughout the digipak with the actual artist's hair and lips coloured red.

The fact that the artist is not looking directly at the camera on the front cover, could suggest that she has a hidden side to her personality. Her expression is quite hard compared to the gentle soft expression she has on her face in the other image. The typography is white and very thin. It goes well with the soft feel of the digipak, however it contrasts with the name 'loud'. Throughout, the album has lots of contrasts between soft and girly to quite hard and serious. As I said before this could be a theme that runs across in her music, hence making listeners want to buy the album.

Detailed Digipak Analysis - 3 Options

Mumford and Sons

We have been given the task to make a video of us individually analysing a digipak in detail. I have chosen three options; Mumford and Sons, Madonna and Rihanna. I will then decide on my favourite one to analyse for the video next week.
