Music video draft 2 and feedback (Ben + Courtney)

This is our second draft for our music video with feedback below.

Feedback

What works well

Nice use of sepia in the explorer scenes

Varied number of shot types

Even better if

Sort the focus out on some shots - the shot is not in focus and then changes

Need more of a link between the narrative - the creatures in the wood and the explorer (add in a black and white photograph that the explorer has on his desk

Why does the explorer have a girlie hand on the reach out?

With this feedback we plan to investigate the focus on the relevant shots and work out whether we can digitally fix them or if we will have to replace/re-shoot them. We will also try adding in a shot of the explorer looking at a photo of the other performer early on in the video and see how that effects the narrative; if good we may also add in similar shots later in the video. We will also re-shoot the shot of the hands or manipulate the existing clip to perform a gender-switch.

Digipak draft 1 and feedback (Ben + Courtney)

This is our first draft for the Digipak, below is the feedback we received on it.

Feedback:

• Swap the arms up image for the explorer
• Add more track listings to the digipak
• Add links to the explorer

From this feedback we plan to switch out the image in the lower left for one of the explorer (probably studying the map or using the binoculars), which will also help link in the narrative to the digipak. We will also add the entire track listing for the album, switching from a single to an album (which is also more suitable for the 6-panel digipak).

Magazine advert draft 1 and feedback (Ben + Courtney)

This is our first draft for the Magazine advert, it includes a range of different photoshop techniques below is the feedback we received on it.

Feedback:

• Link to the explorer more
• Could be much more detailed - you have the skills - go for it more
• Well done for keeping a house style across both the digipak and magazine advert

From this feedback we plan to completely redesign the magazine advert with a more abstract concept which will link to the explorer more as well as showing our technical skills. We will also ensure that we keep the house style. We are planning on experimenting with different colours and different filters to make certain feature pop out and give the magazine advert more of a 3D feel.
