Music Video

At first the music video sounds easy to do.This is because our generation love and rely on music. The Music video sounded really fun and enjoyable. The first thing I thought of was an RnB video as I am more familiar with this kind of music. This genre of music is hard to create so I knew it would be a difficult challenge. Getting stuck in to making the video began with choosing our music. We searched online using Usigned.com where unsigned artists upload their music. My group and I came to a mutual decision about one group. Personally I thought one person would have been easier but the group thought that it would be better to do a band. Once we chose our band we began to try and download their music, we used their contact details to get a hold of them and ask for a copy of their song. Once we had contacted them we found out that they had broken up and their song was un-downloadable because they had taken it offline. SO we had to go back to the start. One of our group members remembered a band called Ruff Diamonds who she thought would be appropriate to use. We then settled on the song 'Alrite Still' and then began our next stage. We held auditions in a hall for the best girls to be in our band and we picked 3. Sharna, Brianne and Aniesha. After this we got our locations sorted out. The song was quite urban so we chose urban locations like a park, a basketball court and an alleyway but then the group we had first chosen decided they were unable to give up so much time so instead we chose our own group member Shamilla and another auditioned Regina to be in the video. This made it much easier as they were willing to give up time. Sharna remained loyal. We then started filming after creating a filming schedule which made it easier for us to communicate. After a bit more of filming we began to upload and edit. We got so far in doing this and I was pleased with the development of my editing skills and the completed production. But then, our work was deleted over the Christmas break due to un-avoidable faults so we lost a lot of our work and had to use what we had of our video as our final product. I thought our project went well. The only constraint was the deleted footage but if it wasn’t for that. The video would have been perfect. I enjoyed the creation of this the most.

Digipak

Firstly I researched digipaks and digipack covers to get the feel of the digipak and how ours should look. After doing a considerable amount of research I then began to create the digipack. I firstly took some images from the facebook profiles of the girls (because our first bit of pictures had been deleted) I then created colours around it inspired by my drawings I had done for the digipak planning. After this I used PowerPoint to put together all the images. This was an easy task as I only had to use collaborating colour schemes(collaborating with the video, e.g. white) and then use the images I had take before to create the front cover.

Advertisement

to create the advertisement I took some of the images from the video and screenshot them to add to the finished result. I then used a brick wall and a logo for the remainder of the ad space to add product unification .

Overall
I think the skills I developed whilst doing this teach me how multimedia products work together to create things we take for granted like music, video and film.
