Logo analysis




       The two images above consist two logos, the first belongs to the band 'The Rolling Stones' the other belongs to 'Blink 182'. Both logos are significant to the bands image and people can distinguish the images from any other band. The logos are both fairly simple and it appeals to audiences, we know this as there is merchandise sold with these logos on. Neither logo is over-simplified nor too complex, they are both simple and are both bold and eye-catching.
       The importance of logos links in with our work importantly because when we create our digipacks we will need something significant which stands out to attract audiences to buy our digipack. We must ensure to create interesting and attractive images so that they represent our artist distinctivlu from everyone else making people buy her products.

Digipack analysis



       This digipack consists of a two disc pack from The Kooks. The two discs at the top behind a white background are both very similar. They are both black and have 'The Kooks Are Coming' located in exactly the same position. There is then writing below which appears to be the same, the reason they have done this as they may have chosen to keep the layout simple hence why they have used the default colours of black & white. 
       In the bottom left we see a picture of the band walking along the street. This may be done to connote their style, simple/casual. The image also adds to this simple/casual because the black and white effect takes away the colour and makes everything appear clean.
       The image on the front cover (bottom right) consists of the band playing their individual instruments (guitars and drum) and has a bold title of the band name. The image consists of low-key lighting which suggests that the band doesn't produce happy and joyful music and may suggest they are more mellow. 

Roles of each member in the group when filming




Dominic: The roles that I will be doing when filming our music will consist of lighting, props, costume and we will all participate in the editing. I will be doing these as I will know how to lay out the scene to fit the mood of the song. These aspects of mise-en-scene as they create the theme of the music video to reveal a story and the meaning.


Harjinder: Harjinder’s roles will consist of choosing the locations, splitting the cinematography Michael and he will take part in editing.  Harj will determine the location as he will know what places we can use to film, he will also contact people to see if we can film in a certain place.


Michael: Michael will be the leading director, split the cinematography with Harj and participate in the editing. Micheal will be the director as he is best suited for the job and will be sure to lead the pack, him and harj will work together to make the cinematography as good as possible aswell as playing a part in the editing.

Annotated lyrics for our song

This is the annoted lyrics for the song we are using for our music video. Annotating the lyrics allows us to divide our ideas for drawing the storyboard into sections. So when it comes down to drawing out our storyboards the annotated lyrics will help us put the right shots when we are drawing out the storyboard. We have to ensure that the shots used in the storyboard are timed correctly and by annotating the lyrics this will help ensure it.

Greenscreen Digipack Analysis Completed


This is the completed version of our digipack analysis. We have added the digipack image into the background, this shows that the greenscreen worked well and it also means we presented the features of the digipack properly.

Plan of the Greenscreen analysis


Here is the filming of all 3 members analysis the layout of the digipack. This will be significant to our work because soon enough we will have to create our own digipack. The images we will be using will be of our artist and pictures of the location shots. The image that will cover the greenscreen is this image of the 'Boys II Men' digipack. This will all be applied in the editing.

Here is the brief about our music video we will be creating. The brief will consist of information surrounding the music video: our artist, location, narrative/performance and the target audience. We have also applied an audience profile, this will specify the target audience which we will be aiming at.

This is my analysis on Goodwin's theory. The analysis ties in with the work me and my group are doing now, using this theory will help significantly with our work by understanding how the theory and how it is done to create large audiences for music videos. By acknowledging this understanding of music videos we will be sure to film our music video as professionally as possible.

This is the feedback given by my teacher. The feedback consists of the work which I have done on my blog, the teacher gives her opinion about the quality and quantity work I have accomplished. She talks about both the positive and negative aspects of my blog and my job is to acknowledge what she says and then make the improvements in order to make my blog as intriguing as possible.
