Ancillary Draft Feedback

Do your C.D covers and posters match?
The main picture and the fonts on the front of the C.D cover matches the poster.

Does your work reflect your genre of music?
In my opinion my work does reflect our genre of music.

Have you produced an advert? Are all conventions apparent?
I have produced an advert and all the conventions are apparant but some things need improvements such as the production information where I need to actually write something. Also some layouts might need changing.

Have you produced a digipack?
I have produced a digipack but it just needs improving.

Ancillary Draft Feedback

A change to the original plan. All students must now submit seperate ancillary products to ensure equal input, fairness and equal assessment chances.

Do your C.D covers and posters match?
The main picture of the C.D cover and posters match, but there is an issue with the fonts matching. Also, the covers need some work to bring the lighting to a similar level.

Does your work reflect your genre of music?
My picture needs to be a bit lighter to reflect the genre better. For the picture though, I was aiming more at the title of the album, rather than focusing on the band themselves.

Have you produced an advert? Are all conventions apparent?
On my effort, all the conventions feature on the C.D cover and poster. However, there is an attention to detail that needs improving, such as the layout of the tracklist, and the content of the production information paragraph.

Have you produced a digipack?
As previously stated, all conventions have been completed, it's just lacking in the detail.

First Draft Completed Version

For the first draft, Mark and I went and created our own album poster and album cover. This is my version, where the main image is based on the heart which we made out of wood chippings. (See other posts).

On the album cover I have used the same sky background for the three panels. The text on it is easy to read and it gives a consistent look. I used the blinding sun picture because it refers to the album name, 'The Blinding Truth'.

The poster is based on my original idea for the album cover with additional information. I like it because it is a simple layout and all the text is clear and easy to read.

I like the visual impact that this will have.

We have to decide between Marks and mine for the final draft. We might ask other peoples opinions which poster and cover they think would be a better fit for our genre.

First Draft Completed Version

For the first draft, Catherine and I went our seperate ways and created our own album covers and posters. This is my version, which the main image is based around the picture of the sun on the horizon.

First Draft Evaluation

On friday last week, we handed in our first draft of our music video. We filled in the gaps in our filming with drawings of our planned shots, because we knew from earlier in the week we couldn't film. There was a major limitation in iMovie though, because when we uploaded the photos, we could only have them as one second, two seconds and three seconds (and so forth) in terms of duration, so it was hard to be accurate.

Also it became clear that we need to have a re-think on the ending sequence for our video, as we were a bit short on shots. We should be able to sort it out by just adding in more shots, rather than changing the actual narrative though.
