Audience Feedback - Digipak

Today the whole A2 Media class gathered around to watch each others video and have a look at each others ancillary task which was the Magazine ad. and the Digipak.

For our Digipak, the feedback we had recieved are that the green scarf needs to be more brighter as it is a iconography during the music video.
and the inside right panel there was a mixture of feedback as some said that the wordle - black and white didn't really have any energy to it and didn't look like a pop digipak, however others said it looked different, unique style and it looked appealing.
However as a group idea we had discussed earlier on, we decided to put the wordle there in black and white because on the CD the design on the front would be the wordle as well... so it would merge in well with the right panel.
Since we didn't come to no decision, I have chosen my own time to go around and get audience feedback of members of the public in our college.

Lisa's Song Final Music Video

On Friday 18th February, we finally completed the music video! YAY! After much tweaking and shuffling of the clips back and forth, we have finally agreed on this to be our final product. However, in our last few precious minutes of editing we did face some major faults as there was a particular clip we needed to replace as the whole shot was out of frame, further there was another clip which was too long and after inserting a cross dissolve we aimed to rectify this mistake; however this resulted in everything moving down a few seconds which is why we couldn't leave the cross dissolve in place. 

After watching the final clip back a few times, we ourselves realised that there were particular clips where she would glance sideways, or away from the camera; which is why we had to make minute cuts here and there. 

We are extremely satisfied with the overall result and are hoping that after gaining some feedback we will be able to comply to any improvements regarding the music video or the magazine ad or digipak as soon as possible.

Digipak

CD Digipak Dimensions - 139mm x 125mm
So here is the digipak I have been working on whilst the others have been editing the music video.
This is a working process of the Digipak.
The reason why we have the scarf only in colour was to link with the Magazine advert it has almost become an iconography of the artist. This was a thumbs up :)
However what I had to change with the font of 'Jessica York' as it was in a totally different font type from the magazine advert therefore, I changed it to the one that was on magazine advert.



It now looks like this

Front Cover

Back Cover

Not finished however... you get the idea of the back

 to go inside on the left panel which will

include poster of the Artist and so on...

Audience feedback for the Digipak, on the inside left panel we shouldn't

leave it blank and should have the 'grey' block design on it as it shows the

continuity design from the front

Audience feedback - Magazine

Update

After we printed out the Magazine we found that 'P.S. Sorry' was too small, therefore I did some altering with the size and added the 'yellow' drop shadow effect to the text to enhace the font.

I also removed 'Release of...debut album' because Ms P said that it's obvious its a release of a debut album as we were designing a magazine advert for 'Debut Album'.

I also changed the colour of 'available at Asda for £5.99' from white to red, as there was too much white going on in the top and wanted it to stand out away from the information.

Also from the previous magazine advert, I brightened the whole magazine with a touch of Exposure from Photoshop to add the brightness effect.

Now I will go and put this up on the board to gain audience feedback. :)

Updates

Okay, so basically we've completed two magazine adverts, one of Jessica photoshopped onto a bench in a park and the second of a close up of her face against a green patterned background. We then stuck them up in our classroom so that everyone can view them and feedback to us which they prefer.

Secondly, our Photosop expert Tamanna has been diligently working on the digipak which is now almost completed. It is a four panelled digipak; so the front cover consists of a full body picture of Jessica in black and white while her winter scarf is green -  which is the significant link between the digipak and the magazine as she is wearing the same outfit in the magazine cover. The second panel will have a little envelope/pouch which will have a special edition poster of Jessica York on it. The third panel is where the CD will be placed against a background of the wordle we created (black background with earthy coloured lettering). Lastly, the fourth panel, the back of the CD, has a list of all the Jessica York songs on the back.

And that's all for today folks

Audience Feedback

On the 24th of January we got audience feedback from the other media class. We showed them what we had so far of our music video. We asked them questions about it in order to make realistic improvements. This is what they had to say.....
