I have decided to add another question to my digipack to gather data for a question of what would fit in the audiences point of view in the gap in my digipack. I also printed out another version of the digipack however this time I cropped it so I could make it larger and then I enlarged it but I did it to scale so it would look like a scale down version of the real thing. I also made it into the same shape as it would be when all the pictures would be put in the CD case which brought the digipack to life and helped the audience understand and make a better decision.


Here's an example of the new questionnaire 




 Here i made and audience feedback sheet for my digipack however I thought the questions weren't quite sufficient so I have decided to add another question. Also the first set of pictures i was using for reference was to small to get a good idea of the digipack and secondly the other picture I printed was distorted and was also not a good enough reference for my audience to look at.

I have made most of my CD cover, it is a 2 CD, 6 sided case.
Order of photos:
Middle bottom- Back cover
Right bottom- Front Cover
Top left- CD part 2
Middle top- CD part 1
Top right- Middle cover

I have tried to keep continuity from my music video to my CD cover by making all the photos set in an urban scene, i have kept the colour scheme neither very dark or bright vibrant colours. The mise-en-scene is quite conventional for Indie, Pop/Rock.


I have uploaded my second filming to YouTube to make sharing it easier and hopefully improve the video quality slightly.
For my music video I thought it would be valuable to film the artist lip syncing and playing the guitar to the music so I could add a performance element and make my music video more realistic and interesting to watch. I filmed my artist in a park with a slight downward camera angle which connotes his vulnerability, I kept the mise-en-scene similar to the original filming to keep continuity and make sure there was no inconsistencies. However due to issues I could not use the same camera for filming so this video is lower quality than the original filming so I will add it into my music video and see if it works and in the case that it doesn't I will have to take it out.

My first draft for my music video of 'the man who can't be moved'

I have a basic narrative structure with an open ended subjective moral. The video is not finished and still needs a further 1 min 30 sec's added on. I like the basic narrative arc however looking at conventions I have noticed I am missing one of the key features of a music video, being, the performance element, so i am going to do more filming so i can add it in. This will insure that it is more recognisable as a music video rather than looking like a short film due to it's narrative structure.

This was one of my first drafts to my front cover I have chosen the names and the picture but not edited them to look convincing.

After the first draft I chose a new font and edited it to look like it was a city landscape emerging from the bottom I also added a color theme and a parental advisory logo to add to the professional look and make it believable, I also tried to make the album cover look urban/indie to add continuity with the song.
