Responses from final video

hey guys, so I handed out a feedback sheet to 15 people to get an idea on how people thought about our video....


Overall, the responses were really positive. Everybody either gave us a 4 or 5 which is what we wanted to see!! We received a lot of positive comments on the cloning and that it was seamless, which is brilliant when trying to create a realistic music video!

Making the digtial download card

Hi guys, so Me and Connor have recently began printing our pack for our vinyl. We began by printing the digital download code which we made on serif draw.

We really liked the idea of it being on an iPhone wallpaper, making it more modern to today's society. We printed this on photo paper to get a glossy finish to the card.




We printed out 3 different sizes as we wasn't too sure whether to have a small card, or a larger card... We decided to go in the middle so people can still use their phones to recognise the code, but also not too big that it would take attention away from the rest of the vinyl pack...

Ill keep you all updated on the progress with out vinyl- speak soon

Vinyl- insert ideas

Hey guys, so Me and Connor have been thinking a lot about our insert for our vinyl, we wanted something simplistic but not boring, so we have decided to go for a simple design for the leaflet insert...



We really like these designs, however, we may change our mind and add or take bits away, so this is just to give you an idea. We decided the leaflet will be double sided with the credits on one side and what is in the package on the other.




We both decided we wanted to think outside the box and make our album limited addition. We came up with the idea of making 3 postcards for our vinyl package, which will feature 3 of our favourite song titles on and signed by the band members, and also feature a picture linked to the song on the front. We designed this template to give you an idea of the type of thing we are going for...



We thought this idea would work well along side a download code that will be featured within the pack too! Be sure to keep checking my blog for more updates and the decision process- talk soon :)

Reviews from first draft

Hey guys, as I mentioned previously, we wanted to gather some feedback on our first draft of our music video. I decided to put all the feedback into a chart so it's easier for you to understand what others thought about it. Overall, everyone who watched our video enjoyed it, and we received some great feedback. However, the majority said that we needed to change the lip syncing scenes as they seemed to drag on. Me and Connor have decided to alter this, I'll keep you updated...



( I used Drawio to create this chart- https://www.draw.io/)

Stream age kicks

Hey guys, so I recently read an article called Stream Age Kicks, which was about the role of music videos and albums, I found it really interesting in relation to my music video as I've learnt that essentially, no-one knows how to actually make money through music and it's all about advertising products through music. I've decided to create the slide show below and sum up the article for you all....

Target audience review- video half finished

Hey guys, so as you know we've started editing for our music video, however, we haven't finished just yet. We wanted a little bit of feedback on the work we've done so far, just to know that our target audience enjoys it- here's what two of the people we asked thought of it...

Back cover process

Hey guys, Me and Connor have completed our back cover, it was straight forward in the sense that it is exactly like our plan. However, when making the cover, we felt that two of the polaroid pictures looked like there was too much going on so we decided to stick to just the one.

Additionally, once we added our barcode in and our company logo, there wasn't enough room for another polaroid style image. We then decided to have 8 songs on our back cover, including the song that we are completing our music video too. We made sure when designing this cover that it was the correct measurements (12in by 12in) to fit the vinyl we are making.
I'll keep you updated on any other changes...

Vinyl- centre label

Hi guys, so Me and Connor have made the centre of our vinyl and managed to create the correct measurements too, we stuck this on with PVA glue and it did the job well...

 Here is the finished vinyl, we think the gold looks great in contrast with the blue label in the centre. We decided to add the foreigner icons similar to the front cover and add the album title. We are very happy with our vinyl for the album and was very achievable to create.

Filming process-4

Hey guys, so as you know, Me and Connor had to change the location of one of our scenes. This worked out rather well as we adapted some scenes, and added scenes of the characters playing snooker in order to incorporate fun aspects. Additionally, the bowling alley which we decided to film in had an arcade, so we could still add the fun in. We're really happy with how all this came out, although the change in location has meant that our video will not perfectly match our storyboard and the idea we had in mind, we were still able to keep the fun energy we wanted in our video.
