Script for Evaluation Question 2

For question 2 me and my partner decided to record ourselves talking into the camera, we will then edit the video and include example to match with what we are saying. Here is are the pictures of the script we wrote.

Evaluation Question 1

Script for Evaluation Question 1

Me and my partner wrote a script from which we then split up parts to say. Here are the screen shot of the 3 pages of script we had, each page was devoted to how we either used, developed or challenged the forms and conventions of the grunge genre.

Final Music Video

Finished Poster

After the feedback from our teacher and further research, we have redesigned our poster. I believe it represents our music video much better as we have used elements from our music video and from the rest of our digi-pack. For example, we used the sepia effects that are used in the rest of our digi-pack and through parts of our music video. We used shots from our music video to create the individual band members; we also used a shot of the trees and bushes and edited the image to make it suitable for the background. From our research we saw there was very little text on other grunge bands posters, we also learned that it was very common to see shots of the band together, normally without the instruments. We believe because our digi-pack compliments our music video there would be no need to include instruments, however for our vocalist we had the microphone because it was a great shot. We also used the sepia effect and the same font style because it meant that it would link to the rest of our promotional pack.

Finished Digi-Pack

The order starts from our front cover, lyrics page, CD back page and the back cover.

Digi-Pack Put Together

We printed images of our digi-pack and put it together in a CD case, here are the screenshots.

Finished our Corrected Digi-pack

From our feedback from our teacher we have made our new digi-pack. We have used elements from our music video to create most of our digi-pack, however we have developed the images by using special effects. We used a sepia effect and hard lights on our images to make things brighter, such as the instruments and actors, the sepia effect then made the image look more vintage. We used sepia effects in our music video, mostly in our chorus. We also used imagery from our music video, such as shots of the band together and individually, and locations from our video, such as the long muddy lane and the broken brick wall. This creates a link and clear theme for our music video and digi-pack which Mr.Canning believed we did not have. We believe our digi-pack compliments our music video and together are a good combination. By researching into other grunge band albums we got a good understanding of what styles and effects they use, as well as what our target audience would expect. We based our digi-pack around our music video and our research to allow our target audience to relate to it and to understand how the music video and digi-pack are clearly linked.

Feedback from Mr.Canning on our Digi-Pack

Our teacher gave me and my partner feedback on our digi-pack; he believed that there were a lot of improvements that needed to be done. One major problem was that there wasn’t a great relationship between our music video and the digi-pack. Although there were some aspects such as using the same characters, but we could have included things such as locations, other actors and instruments or even similar special effects. This would have made it clear to our audience that our digi-pack is based on our music video and together are a continuing media product.

Mr Canning also really liked the poster as he believed it really showed the American teenager rebellion and from my research I know this is the main type of audience for grunge music. However, our poster did not match the rest of the digi-pack and Mr Canning made it clear to us how important it is that they are similar in some way. Me and my partner have decided to completely redesign our digi-pack. We are going to use more aspects from our video, such as still shots and shots of the band. We are also going to use similar special effects, such as the red sepia effect which is used in the chorus parts to our music video.

Finished Draft Ancillary Task - Front and Rear Cover, Lyrics and CD Background

Below is the rest of the digipack, you can see how our research influenced the content and style of our digipack. For example, we used the old, washed-washed out vintage look to make it match the conventions of our genre. Our research into typical grunge digipack allowed us to get an idea of what people would expect, this is why we used images such as the bassist and the vocalist on the front cover, to represent the band. We used a bio-hazard symbol to represent the rebellious style of the grunge conventions, this is something you would expect to see with other genres such as pop or hip-hop. It is something that our audience would recognise and is content they would expect to see in our digipack and other grunge digipacks.
