Construction - Final Digipak


Top Left: Front Panel. Top Right/Bottom Left: Inside Panels. Bottom Right: Back Panel

When creating our Digipak, we had to make it so that there is a recurring theme so that all the panels flow nicely from one another. We agreed that one way to keep a consistent theme is to have a specific colour scheme that we'll keep throughout the panels. We chose to stick to warm colours due to the active nature of the song we chose for the music,

Rough Cut Viewer Responses


After we posted our Rough cut video on the blog, we asked a few people to watch what we had and to give their thoughts and opinions on what was good and what is needed to improve it.

Positives:

- Good lighting
- Good Mise-en-scene
- A varied amount of shots
- Good use of close-ups of Lead Singer/Instruments
- Quick Cutting

Negatives:

- Large blank sections where narrative should be.

Developing Digipak - My Panel (Rough Edits)

I have taken these screenshots to document the progress of me making the rough edit of the back panel of the Digipak. I used a pre taken image as a template.

1st Edit


Added: Image of guitar amp ripped off of Google Images. Edited in Photoshop using Render > Lighting Effects. Black Background.

2nd Edit


Added: Copyright text and other misc. album info at the bottom (4 px).

3rd Edit


Added: Song listings with length of song (12 px) White outline using "Stroke" tool.

4th Edit


Changes: Flipped Amp image so the song listings are more visible. Shrunk the bottom text to 3 px and moved web address to the centre and slightly more above the bottom text.

Postponed filming and Continuity issues.

We were going to film during the Saturday and Sunday before this post. However, because of the recent weather (Heavy Snow and Ice), we were unable to film during that weekend.

Furthermore, we now face an issue involving the continuity of the narrative section on the music video. We have yet to film all of the narrative shots and the ones we have is the middle part of the narrative. This means that if we were to film the rest of the narrative, it would go from Snowy (new scene), Cloudy (old scene) and back to Snowy (new scene).

In the end we decided to go ahead with filming and try and work around the inconsistency as much as possible, maybe re-filming if the snow melts and if we have enough time.
