Question 1

Goodwin theory states there 3 main types of music videos:
1.Amplification, where the video adds new meaning to the lyrics.
2. Illustration, where the video illustrates the direct meaning of the video.
3 Disjuncture, where the video has nothing to do with the lyrics.

I feel our video follows the amplification rule as although it follows the lyrics themes of overcoming hardship, it shows this in a new light through a relationship scenario which may not be identified through reading the lyrics alone. Therefore it adds new meaning to the lyrics without deterring from the original thereof the song.

Digipak Inside cover

Front cover

Inside cover

I have now completed both the inside and front cover for my digipak.
As you can see I have carried out my black and white them throughout the digipak and website to create links and synergy.

Celina Website

I have now completed the website for my artist.

Digipak front cover

I have used photoshop to complete my digipak, I have used black and white filters and applied text to my album cover.
I also applied a barcode and various copyright labels to fit the conventions of a digipak.
I chose black and white as it imitated my inspiration digipaks. I chose this font as I feel it is feminine yet bold and fits well with the image of the artist. I have chosen these images of the artist to represent the artist and the brand and make sure the sole focus is the artist.

Editing using photoshop

I have edited this image for my website, as you can see I have added  warming filter to add more orangey tones to the image. I feel this is effective as  a majority of the ancillary follows a black and white theme so the main image having colour, draws more attention to it and makes the artist the main focus.

Production of ancillary products 2

I have also began producing my website for my artists. I have looked at various websites of similar artists and used conventions from these which I like in my own website.
For example I liked the set up of Justin Bieber's website and how bold titles are used to introduce each section, I have imitated this on my own website.
I also liked the simplicity of the white background and the photo album layout which I have also replicated in my website.

Making of ancillary products 1

I have worked on the production of my digipak cover. This included editing some shots we took using photoshop and adding text and typical conventions of a digipak.
Some of these conventions include a barcode, the production logo and the website.
Using photoshop I used different filters and cropped various photos so to fit on to my digipak.

Potential photos for digipak

These are a few photos I am considering using for my digipak, I would like to apply a black and white filter to follow the conventions of my favourite digipak covers.
I chose these photos as they are very simplistic and also follow the conventions of the digipaks which have inspired me.

Digipaks-function and importance

Audience's response after watching our music video

Reflection on filming

In total we filmed in 5 locations: Notting Hill, The Skygardens, The open space, The forest and in front of the white screen.
Upon reflection of our Notting Hill shots we decided against using these shots as the looked staged and unnatural and we felt it did not fit with the flow of our music video.
We liked our sky garden shots as they ranged from establishing shots to over the shoulder shots and we really liked the mise en scene and scenery.
We also liked the lighting and range of camera shots used in our open space scene, it also had lots of potential to add post production effects such as slow motion and colour adjustments.
The forest scene shots were okay, however some of the shots were repetitive and I feel we could have done with a wider range of shots however as it got dark quite quickly it was hard to film in the dark which reduced our filming time.
Finally the white screen shots were also nice looking however with these shots we also lacked a range of shots and were limited to mid and shoulder shots.
