Our response to Evaluation Question 4

Evaluation Question 3

Here is our response to Evaluation Question 3

Evaluation Question 2

Here is our response to the second evaluation question. We decided to do a time lapse of us creating a mind map to explain our points. We tried our best to capture the actual writing however it was very tricky to get the angle right whilst writing. 

Evaluation Question 1

This is our response to evaluation question one, discussing how our music video challenges and conforms to the conventions of it's genre.
We made a film with commentary, using a montage of clips from our music video and other inspirations.

Final Finished Music Video

Here is our final finished cut of our music video. We are pleased with the outcome as we have gone through great lengths to achieve this. We made sure to be as ambitious as possible to help us produce the best quality music video that we could and we have improved on the accuracy of the cuts as pointed out by our audience feedback. Though we were limited with equipment,we adjusted to it and tried to get the best out of what we had. We found it difficult to export it in high quality, and with the HD camera, this was unfortunately the best we could get it .  

Final Digipack

This is our final Digi-pack for our music video ancillary task. For this design, as in our template, the top will fold over and the disc will be placed on the tunnel image in the top centre. This will create a folding CD case without any plastic casing. As you can see we chose to stick with a black and white theme for the pack by using white backgrounds, black text and black and white images of photographs we took  whilst filming and also screen shots from our actual film, so that there is a obvious link to the video and the digipack. We also chose this theme as it links to the genre characteristics and style of Woodkid's work.

Back Cover of the Digipack

This is the final design for our back cover for our Digi-pack. Like those in our research, it is simple and bold, with typical font and holds all the typical conventions. Such as a bar code  (which we copied from the original CD cover), copy right text, record labels, a list on songs on the album, taken from the album 'The Golden Age' by Woodkid and symbols that are recognisable by fans of Woodkid. This helps the audience feel like they are integrated into the Woodkid fan base, as they will easily recognise his logo- the keys, giving the audience a pleasure of familiarity.
We also then included silhouetted images that link to our music video to help describe our theme of war and peace using specific symbols such as the castles and dog of each character that reflects their difference in personalities. Both characters are included and the soldier was placed with the silhouettes of the graves to link to his scene in the graveyard but also to symbolise the war he's been through.
These images were taken from our own photos and screenshots of our film and edited on Photoshop by rubbing out, cropping and reducing the exposure to turn them into the eye catching symbols on the back.

Front Cover of our Digipack

This is our final design for our front cover of our digipack. It is similar to the Magazine Advert so potential audiences can relate to the CD cover and become familiar with the design and recognise it swiftly as 'Woodkid' production. We included all important information such as the album title, song title, name of the artist, record labels as well as providing a clear and symbolic image that connotes as War and Peace- the overall meaning behind our music video.

After reviewing the front cover again, we realised that the back was just off-white, which didn't match our back cover, so we edited it once more to get a whiter background.

Though the difference is not very clear, it will work better on the Digipack to have the back and front cover matching colours.

Final Magazine Advert

This is our final finished product for our ancillary task of creating a Magazine Advert to advertise the release of the album.
We looked at Woodkid's existing media texts to help inspire our creative decisions in the making of this task. We believe that we have successfully made an effective piece that reflects the conventions of our genre and also apply to our own music video and the message behind it, making it symbolic and simple, like Woodkid's own adverts.
