Evaluation #3

Today I have shown a draft of my evaluation to the teacher to getv feedback and find out what needs to be added to each question.
I have made notes on what needs to be changed and will use them to improve my evaluation.

Evaluation #2

Today I have continued working on writing-up the evaluation and have almost finished question 4. Number 1 is taking the most tyime because is the most complex and has many elements that have to be addressed in order.

Audience Feedback (Survey-Monkey)

Evaluation #1

Today in class we started thinking about the evaluation and decided on te format we are going to present it. We have agreed that it will be most sensible for us to each make an individual evaluation using creative media software instead of recording a Directors' Comentary.
There are a number of reasons that have influenced our choice:

• We have a very different timetables and it would be difficult to find times we could write the script together
• If were to do the Directors' comentary, we would have to illustrate the voice over with moving images, stills and screen shots of different stages of production
• The voice over would have to be recorded all at once
• The final product would not feel interactive for the viewer.

I think we have made the right choice, becausethe software needed for the creative evaluation is mostly available online and can be accessed from any computer whereas, the video would have to be edited together with Final Cut Pro which is only available in the editing suit of Media Department.

Also, in my opinion the variaty of software that could be used such as Prezi, Xtra normal and vlogs will make the final presentation much more interactive and appealing.

We now have just over a week to answer the evaluation questions in essay format before starting to make the creative parts.

Survey For Audience Feedback

This is the survey we have made to gather final piece of audience feedback for the whole production package. We will use the results of this survey for our evaluation.

Constructing The CD Digipack #8

This is our front cover, we have decided to use a symbol that reates to our video the most rather than use a face of the artist, this is because, this is what the band usuay does and we wanted to make it look and fee as conventional as possible.

Constructing The CD Digipack #7

 

This is a disc design for our CD package. We have used the same colours on it as in the rest of the production.

Constructing The CD Digipack #6

 

This is the final magazine advert.

 

Since the last construction process shot In have decided that I did not like the fact that the effects that were apllied to the main photograph translated onto the pictures of print products and so I have decided to address the issue by remoring the layers that had those images and saving the advert only with the text and the image as a separate JPG and then openning it in a new document on PhotoShop and adding the images back in their places.
I have achieved my objective which was to get the images stay in their original state ad do not have any extra effects on them. 

Constructing The CD Digipack #5

This is an inside insert I made for the CD pack. I have chosen the close-up shot image because I felt that it adds a personal feel, and I made it black&white so that it follows with the house-style of the overall print package.
I have chosen to include the lyrics of the song on here because I think it adds a point of interest to the CD pack and it also serves as an extra feature that would generate interest in the album.

Second inside insert:

Constructing The CD Digipack #4

Today I have started working on the magazine advert. So far i have chosen an image from the studio shoot that I did with the artist and started adding information such as thye release date and the album contents. Below is the evidence of the progress so far:

After adding the logo on the advert I have decided to get rid of the background of the logo, therefore, I started erising it. As for the photograph: I have adjusted the brightness, contrast and general colour balance as well as making it black&white which I have done to continue the style from the video and the covers of the CD.

After adding the contents of the album I have decided that in order to keep the text black and maintain the housestyle I have to reduce the opacity of the image to make the text standout without changing the colours.

Later I( have decided that to reinforce the text as a focus point of the page I had to enhance it's appearance further, so I added two black boxes around each piece of key information in the page and reduced the opacity of them to arouind 35% to emphesise the text further.

 

I have later decided to change the layout of the page completely and so I removed all the information and then laid it out inside a black box with reduced opacity to make the layout more conventional to one of my case studies: Green day.

Also at this stage I have changed the font of the song title to the same as the rest of the text and other print products.

 

I have then placed the images of the album in order I saw them being laid out in my case study advert.
