Rough Cut

This is a sample of some of my video. It is not edited or transformed, just simply the footage of my main parts of the song. In this rough cut there is the chorus and the bridge of the song which will be repeated throughout but edited and cut differently each time to make it effective. The footage of the three girls with the cards will hopefully be cut so there is a different girl for alternative lines of the chorus and the bridge of the song will be edited using the close ups of the girls as well as the two shot clip.

Video Update...

Today im recording the main part of my video and hopefully will be able to edit and put together my video as soon as possible.

Above is a video I recorded at a Lily Allen Concert in Nottingham on 10.12.2009. It is not the best of videos as I recorded it using my own digital camera however I think I may be able to use a short clip out of it in my own video if edited slightly. It is not the song I am using but another song off her old album but that will not be apparent in my music video. The video also does not look as pixelated when using other players.

Results from Survey

I asked an audience of 20 people which product they would find more effective and found that people liked the second drafts of both the CD case and Poster. 14 people chose the second draft where as the remaining 6 thought the first draft was better. The second draft of both the products will now be the two copies I use for my final choice. I agree that these will be effective as they have more in them and the fonts and colours fit in with items in my video as well.

What Happens Next....

I am now going to ask my target audience which drafts they would find more effective. I will then choose a final copy and use them along with my video for my product.

Poster Draft Two

Above is a copy of the second draft of the poster. It is effective because of the images and how they are edited and also because of the unconventional font and colours which are used which relate to the other products. Also included are logos for places that the single would be available which is sometimes shown on advertisements for singles.

Poster Draft One Evaluation

Again like the CD cover I believe that the poster would look better with a black solid background and should include more. I am going to re-do my poster with this in mind and use the images I used on the second draft of my CD cover.

CD Cover Second Draft

This is a copy of my second draft for a CD cover. I think this is more effective and lively and would be more appealing to an audience. It also includes a title of the side of the case which the first draft did not. The image of the hands "taking" is still included and two more of the artist which have been edited.

CD Cover First Draft Evaluation

I have evaluated my first draft of my CD cover and think that it could be made better by adding other images and changing certain things. I think that if the cover was just one solid colour it would be more effective as images and fonts would be able to stand out more. Although this is not unconventional like the style and genre I was originally going for, it still has the colours and manipulated images that stand out. Images of Lily Allen herself are used on the cover and back of the cover which are images I photographed myself recently. They have been edited using the programme Macromedia Fireworks and I think this looks more effective and has more to it than the original idea.

The original Lily Allen Images can be seen below and the second draft of my CD cover will follow.

Poster First Draft

Above are all copies of the development of my poster for the Lily Allen single I am making a music video too. The image I have used is a photo I took myself whilst recently at a Lily Allen concert in Nottingham. I have again maniplated the image using the programme Macromedia Fireworks and used the fonts and colours used throughout my project. It is quite simple and could be more effective and I am going to try and improve this however I believe, like the CD cover, that the colours and print fits in with the genre of the song and artist.

CD Cover First Draft

I am in the process of creating my first draft of my CD cover. I used images which I photographed myself and manipulated it to make it effective. I have used this on my cover along with features of the programme Macromedia Fireworks. It is a pretty simple cover but has been edited a lot and fits the genre of my song and artist. Lily Allen is known to be unconventional in the way she dresses and acts, she is different but popular because of this.
The use of many different colours gives the impression of a bubbly person and the song I have used also fits with this. Also I have used different colours in my chorus on the cards and again it all fits in along with the font used. The pattern on the CD cover will fit with that of the poster and so will the font and colours.

Planning: Video Scenes

Above are pictures of a few shots I shall be using and filming at. More may be added.
