Final Ancillary Task One (51)

For the album cover I decided that I didn't want to stick to the typical conventions of an album cover for solo artists. Because I decided against having any performance elements in my music video, I felt that instead of using a picture of the artist I should instead have a piece of artwork as the album cover. The title of the album, when first looking at it made me think of an individual having pieces of their memories coming out of their head. I also got the idea of an individuals head exploding with the smoke representing their memories which are escaping.

These are some pictures which inspired my album cover. I decided against going with someone loosing just pieces of their memory and decided instead to create someone with their head exploding, like all their memories are flooding out. After doing a little research I decided that I wanted the individual on the album cover to be dressed smartly and for the explosion to be colourful. I felt that this would be very eye catching and would help to attract my target audience into buying the album. I also decided to add a collection of some of the photos featured in the music video behind the man which would help and to the illustration of memories being lost and floating around.

For the back cover I decided to go quite simplistic and again use the same collection of photographs but have them at the bottom of the CD cover. This left room for the different songs at the back and also gave a sense of continuity within the digipack between the front and back cover.

For the inside front and back cover I chose to use two different pictures and present them in the style of polaroids. I decided to do this as it kept to the theme of memories and photos while being neat and simplistic. I used two different photographs which I felt represented autumn and winter which are the seasons in which the music video is set. I chose these as it helps to show how season change, but memories stay the same. Through out all of the digipack I also used a filter to help make the covers look slightly aged. This is to give more emphasis on the fact that the two inside covers are polaroids, but also to give continuity to the digipack as a whole.

Audience Research (23)

What are you trying to find out in your research? In my research I am trying to discover many things which will help me in developing my A2 coursework. The main thing I am trying to discover is whether people still consume music videos and what the age range is of people who consume them. I am also trying to discover what other media products people consume and if they think that my idea for a music video is a good one or if i should change elements of it.  When conducting my research I went out into Wymondham town to ask people the questions as apposed to just asking people in the sixth-from. There are many strengths to doing this, the main being that it gives me more reliable data. In the sixth-form there are only students and teacher so just asking them my research questions limits the demographic response of my data to just students and teachers. By going out and conducting my research in Wymondham town it gives me a wider range of different people and thus widens my demograp

Practise task explained (1)

Me and Rosie were randomly given a question and a nursery rhyme which we could use as a stimulus to create our music video. The question we were given was Should I get a tattoo? and the nursery rhyme we were given was Jack and Jill . These were the two points that we could use to help create a music video, and we could choose to incorporate either both or one into our video. Our initial ideas for this task is to use the nursery rhyme of Jack and Jill as a stimulus for our music video as there seems to be more directions we could go with this than with the question Should I get a tattoo ?  Jack and Jill lyrics   J ack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water Jack fell down and broke his crown And Jill came tumbling after. Up got Jack, and home did trot As fast as he could caper He went to bed and bound his head With vinegar and brown paper. After looking up the complete lyrics for the nursery rhyme i decided to do some research into the meaning behind it to see

Evaluation question 2

How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary tasks? In my personal opinion I feel that the combination between my video and ancillary tasks are very effective. Within all three of the products I incorporated the same photographs so that the synergy between the products were clear. One of the main elements of my music video was the father looking back at the good memories with his daughter through photographs which were hanging up in her room. Because of how important the photos were in the video I felt that it was vital to incorporate them into the ancillary tasks as well. Typically within solo music videos the focus is on the artist and this is then incorporated onto the cover of the digipack and album release poster too. However, due to me challenging this typical convention I had to use a different theme to link all my products together to create synergy, which is where the link between the photographs came in. When first looking at the title of my alb
