Text colour for my albums ad for the digipak's release






In this design (my choice for the best design) I used the yellow and for the albums release date I used the blue text colour found in the church window in the background. I did this to link the colours in the poster to the font because if I had too much text colour it would give the poster a more sort of gospel feel to it and that's not the genre of music that my digipak fits into. Also I felt like I would lose some of the horror themes I wanted to display in the poster if it was too colourful.






With this I used the red for the release date as I had seen form other magazine ads that they had used red for the release date to get people to rush and feel a sense of urgency when going to buy the product, however I found that this didn't work with my project. This is because the red used got drowned out by the use of the red in the hands and was too dark to stand out. This is a problem as this is one of the most important parts of the magazine ad.




In this design I continued to keep the text in the same place as for every other digipak ad I have seen so far has had the release date at the bottom of the ad, the name of the band at the bottom down with it and the singles information above that. As for the colour of the singles information on this ad I kept it a light red to fit with the theme of red and connotations of blood and danger I have hinted out throughout the ad. However this is further drowned out the elements of the blood on the hands which is a key element of my poster.

In this, we see a dodgy city and then the camera moves over the clouds to reveal a buildi ng above the clouds called the feel good inc. This represents how in this building at the top you don't have to see the horror that is going down below the city its almost as if ignoring it makes it better/ ignorance is bliss. The light against the building represents hoe rising against everthing and the building almost makes it seem as if anything in this 'Feel Good Inc' tower is possible. Then in this shot, we get to see inside the building sh owing how dodgy it is in there too. This illustrates what y ou see on the outside (the sign that says feel good inc) is not exactly whats on the inside. The red background connotes danger and lust, linking to the sex drugs and rock and roll vibes going on inside the building. In contrast with the characters blue hair, it makes him stand out characterising and illustrating that he is the singer. Now we see more mov...

Extra final edits made to my digipak advertiment

Image
It was said that my digipak still looked quite busy and that there was too mush going on. There was too many different coloured text and font variations which made the advertisement look to cramped. So I changed all font that wasn't to do with the artist or the name of the album blue and changed it to the same font, Didcot. I then moved some of the album information above the name of the album name to make the text look less cramped between the hands. I then moved all the logos down to the bottom of the advertisement to make the advertisement look more professional. I also changed the colours by putting filters on the image so that the advertisement stood out more.

Rough cut

This is my first edit of my music video for the song 'Take me to church'. While doing this I have realised some issues with the video for instance I have used a lot of my footage in this first section and I think I need to go back and re-film at those locations. For this first section I want to focus on setting the scene (location) and implying that time has gone and that this terrible accident happen earlier on. Reflecting on this I have booked another Day I can film in the church to see if I can get any better shots. They have kindly accepted to allow me to film and I'm changing my camera in a hope that it will take better to the lighting in the church.
