Process and album idea

Below is a brief over look at some of the work and ideas I had when constructing my album cover, this shows their was drafts and that there wasn't a straight away final product, i had to design over 4 different front covers because i felt they wasn't right or some verbal feedback I got wasn't that positive.

Short evaluation of first music video draft

This music video was successful in producing a video that is easy on the eye. I have found the lip syncing and editing to be good, but the music video is lacking in artistic inspiration, so i believe i need to do some more filming to improve not only the level and content of my video but the visual quality of the video. After getting a few verbal comments from teachers and students, the overall opinion is that it is good but it get very boring quickly as it is just same shots/sequence repeated throughout. In order to improve my music video as i previously suggested i need new footage in possibly a new location in order to create a new aspect to the video and also to create another dimension on which the audience can either understand or relate to in their own way, so i will not be suggesting a certain connotation, but as a part of my genre there is clear and understandable convention/ideas associated with it, so i feel with the new footage i should start to incorporate these into the video as the genre and the artists appeal will become obvious therefore grabbing my audiences attention.

Health and Safety

Throught out my shooting i had to consider different aspects of Health and safety, the major health and safety concern was when we was out filming on the balcony, and i addressed the issue early on with the email to john asking for him the be present whilst we filmed outside, therefore having assistance and having an eye looking out for us. Also the equipment in the green room had to be checked prior to the use, so we got the media technition, ray, to come and set the equipment in my desidered positions

labels and Logos

The ancillary text will require a logo for the recording label as this is a convention of CD's, and my album will require a name,  I have decided to go against this convention, as the reasearch i have found there isnt and label name nor logo on many albums produced
