Comparitive Research

I put together a Prezi talking through styles of products depending the genre of the band.

I put together a table going into further detail comparing the different bands on different aspects and conventions of music videos and the industry. 

Chosen Brief

I am choosing to do brief 1, 

1. A promotion package for the release of an album, to include a music promo video, together with two of the following three options:

·         a website homepage for the band;

·         a cover for its release as part of a digipak (CD/DVD package);

·         a magazine advertisement for the digipak (CD/DVD package). 

      In terms of ancillary products, I have considered all the three options but have chosen to do the first two ancillary products, the website homepage, and cover for its release. By doing these two, products it will allow me to push the skills I have already but it is also the two areas that I am the most interested in and I feel will allow me to be most creative. I feel I will be able to use my graphics skills and background to assist and enhance the CD Cover. 

      I will create a simple band music video, filming them play, with possible cuts between them playing to parts of a story line but keep it very dark, dramatic and fast. Much like the videos for bands like Asking Alexandria, in terms of filming; 

Presentation two initial ideas from morrighanh

When uploading presentations to Slideshare to add to Blogger, you can't include videos or sound to the presentation. As you will notice from the 4th slide, the video has just appeared as a black box. So below is the embedded video I am referring too.

     Upon reconsideration, the colour scheme I choice isn't the best option. I will keep the black and the red, however I feel the scheme is more appropriate I keep in mainly black and red, with some bits of white included. Blue, Red and Black is also the colour scheme of Pepsi, so most of the audience will quickly and unintentionally associate my scheme with Pepsi if I choose that.
