Student DigiPack Analysis

                        Group 28    
                        
The theme that seems to run throughout group 28's music video is the greenery setting and her guitar. The video was shot during autumn and I know this because of the dead leaves that have fallen from the tree's surrounding the main artist. This can is also part of the theme for this video and can be used in the digi pack.
The costume and makeup stands out from the setting as she is mainly dressed in pink and white plus she has bright red lipstick on.

The group went along well with the codes and conventions. They have a lot of 'do's' and not many 'dont's'. They have used the same theme on the digi pack that they have used in the video. The greenery still remains and the same type clothing does also. 

They have used the same font type and sizes for each text apart from the artist name and this is how it should be. They have placed a close up of the artists face on the front cover to introduce her to the audience as she is a new comer to the industry. They have used two different colours, black and white for the text and I believe this goes well with the theme as well as standing out in the cover. 
They have placed a barcode on the back of the cover along with the copyright information. 

The advertisement is simple but powerful and very clear. Her name is displayed clearly along with the name of the album. They have placed a small image of the actual album cover clearly stating that it is 'OUT NOW!'. They have a few links to lead the fans on to her official pages which is quite useful.

Looking at the criteria


Once we were close to finishing our editing of our music video, I decided to look back at the criteria to see if our video was up to par with the mark scheme. A teacher went through the mark scheme with me, describing the requirements I need to meet in order to achieve the highest grade. I believe we have met all the requirements but we have mainly shown a wide range of camera shots, from close-ups, mid-shots, long-shots and a few unique camera shots.

Reshooting!



We were able to successfully reshoot some of our footage. We decided to do this due to the feedback from our rough cut and that we personally thought that the shots that we had wouldn't work. We filmed the first chorus and the first
section of the second chorus with the artist wearing
white and the second section of the second chorus
with the artist wearing all black. We also made
sure that all of our shots were filmed in day light. Having
this footage will allow us to create the meaning we
want when editing. In the  editing process
we made sure we stuck to the idea with the costume
changes and that by the end of the music
video the artist will be wearing all black.

Reshooting on Monday 1st December

On Monday the 24th of November the class analysed and assessed our rough cut. Some of the talking points were mainly the strengths of our music video and what can be improved to make our music video even better.  One of the main talking points of our music video was the good narrative, variety of shots and fine editing. One of the main talking points about our improvements was the idea that the cross cutting from light to dark was unnecessary. This cross cutting to place with Bobby and Brix at west silver town and suicide bridge archway. Was it meant to be like that? was it an initial idea?  Therefore as a group we made a decision as a group to reshoot at Suicide Bridge Archway. To shoot in the daytime. This meant we would have followed our storyboard correctly which is excellent


 On Monday the 1st of December we went to Archway to film at Suicide bridge. Fortunately it was a dry day however a bit cold. We managed to shoot in the daylight and get a rage of shots to go with it. Overall it was a successful shoot and the last shot we will be doing as the deadline is on the 5th December
