Question 1 Initial Ideas

Video

Use
- Use of earthy Locations
- Mise en scene (costume - dress/props - guitar)
- Editing on the beat of the song
- Frequently cross-cutting between the performance and narrative
- Using a wide range of camera shots and movement
- The first shot in the video is of the artist
- The first line of the chorus if of the artist performing the song

Develop
- We had a more even ratio of performance and narrative
- We included moving pictures
- We had a more varied range of different locations

Challenge
- We had a different actress for the performance and narrative sections
- There weren't many close-ups during our performance as we wanted to present the mise en scene
- Our last shot was not of the artist
- Our editing was faster paced

Digipak

Cover

Use
- The artist is presented on the cover
- We applied the rule of thirds

Develop
- Our signature style font was placed differently and on a canted angle

Challenge
- We used a long-shot of the artist
- We used the prop of the guitar
- The artist wasn't making direct eye contact with the camera

Disc

Use
- The record label was included
- We had a picture on the background not just a plain colour
- The artists name is included

Develop
- We had a link between our cover and disc through the incorporation of the prop of the guitar

Challenge
- We used a picture on the background to create a busy theme

Inside

Use
- The artist is present

Develop
- The artist is present but she is not the main focus of the page

Challenge
- We had 9 small images rather than 1 large image.

Back

Use
- We included track numbers
- We included a barcode
- We included fine print
- We included a logo
- We included a website address

Develop
- We used a wider range of fonts
- We included a similar typewriter font
- We altered the placement of the barcode

Challenge
- We used the rule of thirds and placed the writing on the left-hand side of the page
- Ours was more busy and colourful

Advert

Use
- We included a small image of the album cover in the bottom corner of the page
- We included ratings from popular magazines and newspapers
- We included the name of the artist
- We included the date when the album is due to come out
- We included the names of some of the tracks which are included on the album

Develop
- We used a painted border which we produced on Adobe Photoshop

Challenge
- Ours is darker in colour
- Our image is in focus in the foreground and out of focus in the background
- Our image is not a photograph of the artist but it is a photograph of a key to relate to the theme
