Digipak Plan

This is our plan for our Digipak. We have gone for a fun theme for it so that it matches our video.

Front- Is a picture of our main actor, Matt Jones. We have created the picture so that half of it is cartoon and the other half normal. To show reality and imagination. 

Back - The list of songs spread all over the back of it. The picture in the background would be the back of the picture on the front. Therefore, it would be a picture of the back of Matt's head. 

Centre- A picture of Matt facing the camera. He will be wearing the head-dress. 

Extra Flap - This will be a band shot, with all the bands names above their heads. 

Left Side - A picture of Darwin pointing towards the middle picture of Matt. 

Right Side - A picture of Jack pointing towards the middle picture of Matt. 

Audience Feedback

We interviewed some of our potential audience to see what their views were of our video so far. This is what they had to say;

What We Used Whilst Filming

Camera

To film our music video we used two cameras, the Canon 7D and Canon 550D. We used these cameras because they give a high quality film which would make our video look better and give it  professional look. Also, by using two cameras it would allow us to get twice as many shots and film. The cameras were placed on tripods in-between our lights that we had set up. We used tripods so that our footage was steady and so that certain footage was in the same place, due to using split screen.

550D

Lighting

We used two pairs of lights whilst filming our video. We put them equally both sides of the tripods so that the lighting wasn't drastically different. 

We used lights similar to these ones. We used four lights, two pairs, in total. 

We also used this lighting meter to change how bright or dark the lights were. 

Analysis Of A Party Scene Video

We are going to be shooting our new footage on Saturday 16th November. For this we will need to analyse videos and draw out the storyboards for the shoot.

I am going to analyse 'The Vamps' 'Can We Dance' video as it has party scenes included in it. I will be analysing those scenes.

When the party scenes are on there are a variety of shots used in this video. For example, there are;

• Band Shots 
• Close Up Shots 
• Mid Shots 

The lighting is very important here, so that it doesn't just look like a group of people in a room. We will be using the same lights as before and also some disco lights to make it look like a proper party scene. 

The costumes are quite simple in this video as it is casual/party outfits, which will be easy to organise. 

First Day Of Shooting

On our first day of shooting we filmed through out the day, using different lights and cameras.

However, after looking at our footage the next day on the school mac we didn't have enough footage to cover the whole song. After looking into how we could change our idea without it being drastic we came up with this idea;

To shoot a party scene that we could fit into the middle of the song.

 

What we learnt from our failed attempt:

• To check our footage thoroughly so that we spot any mistakes that we may have made. 
• Make sure lighting is perfect and equal. (If needed). 

This is our second storyboard for the rest of our filming. We have chosen simple, but effective shots so our video looks of a high quality. 

 

Storyboard

These images are our storyboard for our video that we are filming on Thursday. We will follow this so that we know that we haven't left anything out. 

Stardom

Stars as constructions

Even though stars in the media are said to be 'normal people' their whole image is created to make them different to other people out there. It is done by what they wear, what they say and how they act. It is easier for stars of the music industry to create a USP for themselves rather than film stars who have to change for different roles.

For example Lady Gaga, she wear weird clothes and that's why people remember her, because she is weird.

All these outfits that she is wearing in these pictures are worn to shock people. I remember when she wore the meat dress and people were all talking about it the next day. It is used as a promotional method.

 

 

 

 

 

Ideology and culture

Stars use their position to influence people to spread their beliefs. They mainly do this through social networking and expect their fans to help them spread the word of their beliefs. For example,Simon Cowell posts a lot of tweets/pictures of his love for animals and tries to get his fans to help him stop cruelty etc.

 

 



Industry and audience

The main use of stars is to make money for the industry from their fans, the audience. The stars are made so that the audience will like them so that their companies can make money out of them. The industry does this by constantly making fresh faces come into the industry from all different types of genres so that all types of people can like it, from teenagers to the older generation.

For example, 'The Vamps' are a young boy band who typically try to aim for the same target audience as 'One Direction'. They do this by;

Wearing fashionable clothes
Being attractive

 

 

Character And Personality

Due to magazines and paparazzi, many people always compare themselves to the celebrites that they see featured on the front page of magzines. However, many stars (especially film stars) are seen through the characters that they play and people believe them to be like that.

However, music stars are based upon a few pieces of text which is always reread. Therefore a lot of music stars get 'Second Album Syndrome' which is when they fail to keep up their persona for a long amount of time and don't need to release a second album due to the first one being a success.
