Coursework Analysis

This is a Prezi I created analysing my coursework in terms of key concepts and different theories, which helped me understand how it is and can be more successful.

Photoshoot

Here are some examples of the kinds of images I took in my recent photoshoot for my digipak and magzine advert. I tried to be as creative as possible when smashing up the camera, taking images at various stages and placing them in interesting positions. I played around with the film I found inside th camera, and also reassembled the camera after smashing it, which I felt looked very visually interesting.

DigiPak/Magazine Advert Ideas

Another idea for these products is to buy an old broken camera that is beyond repair and take various shots of it, perhaps breaking it up more as I go. This will continue with the theme of seeing and looking, it could also look quite dramatic and be very conceptual if I did it well. I may begin with an image of simply a broken lens then carry on until I am pulling the different parts out of the camera. I could also then put text onto the tape/wires, for example the track listings.

Possible Magazine Advert Idea

This is the cover art used in Surfer Blood's album Astro Coast. It appears to be two images merged together but with the cubes it appears to be like pixels. I may use this idea in my magazine advert as it is fairly simple but still effective and somewhat thought provoking in the audience as they will try to figure out what the image is, and depending on my chosen images it can be somewhat conceptual.

They seem to keep this use of two images as a theme through their products, as their second CD release uses similar methods. I am considering using this in both my digipack cover and my magazine article, as it is original and eyecatching thus will immediately indicate to my audience that these products are both from the same artist.

Intro Ideas

I have decided to add an intro to my music video as the song is very short and this will make my work of a higher standard and allow me to use different skills. I am considering continuing with the theme of looking, seeing and photographs as seen in my digipaks and parts of my video. One of my ideas is to do something similar to what is used in the video 'Down' by Summer Camp. I have never seen such an effect in a music video before and I think it is very effective and original, however it may be hard to do myself.
