Music Video Storyboard

In the first scene I will have someone enter the room and clear away some boxes. The next scene shot I will have a close up of the robot toy, which leads to the third shot will be of the leaving the room with some boxes. Then we will see a few toys come to life and escape from one of the packed, but not taped down boxes. Then in the fifth, sixth and seventh scenes, we will see the robot toy come to life and come out from where he has been and try to play with the others toys, but he is outcasted. The other toys continue to party as the robot goes back to his hiding place. The final scenes are of someone coming back into the room and taking more boxes.

Music Video Test Footage

This is some test footage that I did for A2 Media Studies. I did this as preparation for my music video project.

Magazine Advert

 

This is my magazine advert for the launch of my Digipak. My central image will also act as my logo for the band, as it represents my chosen song for the music video and also represents the band's music genre of pop/electronica clearly. I included reviews of the Digipak from prestigious music magazines to make my advert appear like a real magazine advert. Also I included the logos of popular social networking sites and a smart code, this is to make it appear realistic and to let the reader know that they can access this information using those sites and codes. 

Booklet Design And Digipak Layout

This is my design for the booklet in my Digipak. I am going to include the lyrics of the songs on the album and I will also be including images of the band as well. 

The first image for my Digipak will be my front cover, which will have the logo and an image of the band. 

 

The second image is of the inside of my Digipak, once you have opened up the front cover. On the left-hand side is where there the album and an background image will be placed. And on the right-hand side is where the DVD booklet and an background image will be.

This image of the the inside of the Digipak once it has been fully opened. This shows the album on the left, the DVD in the centre and an image of the band to the right.  







This final image is of the back of my Digipak. This will contain a small blurb, quotes and reviews from music magazines rating the album.

Magazine Advert Design

This is my design for my magazine advert. I am going to try to include many typical conventions of magazine adverts from what I have researched. These include the album cover or artwork associated with the band or artist, the album title, quotes and reviews for the album and links to further information, such as, a web address or social network links. 

Magazine Advert Research

 

 

Each of these magazine adverts represents the artist and their chosen genre of music clearly. Most of the adverts include the release date of the CD and a few of their hit singles or some featuring artists. Also some have reviews from very popular and well known music magazines.

Digipak Ideas And Sketches

For my Digipak I want to connect the style of it to the music video, which is why I am including the robot that will be in my music video on my Digipak cover. It is important that there is a clear link between the music video and the design of the Digipak, as it will help promote my Digipak and link the two products together.

I want the style of the Digipak to have a arty feel, but to also have a hipster feel to it to and I want to have photography of the band on the inside. Also I want to keep the colour scheme of the Digipak bright, as the robot and other characters in my music video will be in bright coloured clothing.

This is my sketch for what I want my Digipak to look like. I want a picture of someone holding the robot toy close to the camera. I then want pictures of instruments and quotes on the back of the Digipak. Inside it I wanted a picture of a boy on the left who is shining a light to the right, and a girl on the right who is shining a light to the left, and in the middle a picture of them both with light shining on them from either side.

Digipak Research

Some of the key ideas for the Digipak are:

• Booklet - containing sketches, photos etc.
• The cover artwork and photography - free poster/art book
• Blurb - containing reviews and comments from the band
• Barcode
• Age restrictions (12, 15, 18)
• Special features- behind the scenes, "making of" video, live performances etc.
•  Biographical information on the band
• Bonus songs or remixes
• The band's logo
• Link to their website

These are some examples of Digipaks that I liked:

All of these Digipaks keep the theme going throughout the whole Digipak. And the fact that it is connected throughout makes it not only visually strong, but clearly inkeeping with the particular band/artists style and genre.

Copyright Track Research

The genre of my copyright free track, Sad Robot- Pornophonique, is in the 8-bit electronic music genre. Pornophonique released their debut their album in 2007; it had only 8 tracks and it was called 8-bit Lagerfeuer. 

They have performed more than 100 concerts in four different countries (Austria, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland), although they don’t have any upcoming gigs at the moment. Unfortunately, the band doesn’t have any music videos, but they do have videos of their live performances on YouTube.

Pornophonique is a German electronic duo from Darmstadt, Germany and was formed by Kai Richter and Felix Heuser. They use a C64 and a Gameboy to produce their trademark 8-bit electronica sound. While guitarist and singer Richter also handles the C64, Heuser is responsible for the Gameboy sounds. Both decided that since they weren’t hadn’t heard anything from any record companies, they uploaded it for free onto the internet.

Youth Culture And Music Video Moodboard

This is my moodboard for my A2 music video project. I am doing a stop motion video to a copyright free track. The images you see are some of the characters, objects and settings that I will be using for the video. At the start of my video I will have someone leave a room to do something, when they do the toys in the room come to life. I will dress the person at the start of the video in a hipster style fashion, because I researched into hipsters and especially hipster fashion, and my track is an electronic pop sound which appeals to them.
