All done

With this being my last blogpost to date and after finishing my coursework I  just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed the experience and the challenge, I have met some rather amazingly interesting people and worked harder than i thought i would. This year making a Music video has been so much fun and i really feel like i understand how media works. Thanks for the experience.

52. Do's and Don'ts

Do's for the website:

Plan
I need to make sure that I have a general plan to follow, even if it isn't very detailed but just so I have a set plan i can refer back to when needed to help me stay on the correct path. It will also give me new and refreshing ideas so i can draw on it when i need to.

Audience
I need to research who my main target audience for the website is so I can appeal to them specifically and make them more attracted to it giving it more of a chance to boost my music video. The target audience ranges between 18-24 females. In order to appeal to them we need to relate certain features to the audience to make it appeal to them.

Platform/Vision: When it comes to making the music video I will b using a website called Weebly. For my website I want to try and keep the colors as mute as possible with the font and layout being rather soft and easy to understand for the audience

Don'ts

Copyright/Stealing: Taking things from other peoples websites is a form of copyright and in some cases counts as a form of stealing, gathering ideas and inspiration from other people is okay but taking things that are specifically identified as someone elses counts as copyright. Therefore using photoshop and asking for permission is a good way to avoid these situations.


Do's for the Digipak



Layout:
Similar to my website the layout would be rather soft and eloquent and really folk like to fit the music and the artist, the color pallet will be desaturated black and white.
Image: The images involved will show of the artist and the use of synergy in my cross media products


Formally closing off blog.

FINAL BLOG POST! 

I just want to say that I have enjoyed the experience of blogging, learned a lot of things for instance, how to use other media technology and met three amazing people who was a pleasure to make this project with. 


50. Individual Ideas for Digipak/Website

Digipak

As a group we came up with some basic ideas and plans. However its mainly an individual task so i needed to have my own seperate ideas and views to set mine apart from the rest. Here were some of my ideas:

Framing/shots: For the outer cover of my digipak i want to keep it rather basic with a wide angle image of the artists walking in the distance similar to that of the original Artist Gabrielle Aplin and her album English rain. The main piece of synergy the bowler hat will also be the main thing in sight. The background will also be filled with nature.

Color/Fonts:The font of the original album English rain is very eloquent and handwritten giving a very folk like vibe which is something i really wanted to use on my own work. It makes the album cover look more personal to the artist.

- My color scheme is gonna be very mute, pastel and calming. Like most folk type artist have very low key colors, Aplin herself chose to go for a very monotone black and white look which is something i think is really effective and is something i would like to use on my own work.
