Lyric Analysis

“When I look into your eyes   - This first lyric is creating a picture for the audience as they may of

                                                   of not seen the girl yet.
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise”
There's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

“I won't give up on us”          -   This lyric displays how the artist isnt going to give up                                                      on his love displaying a positive representation 
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up

“I don't wanna be someone -The lyric highlighted in red conveys the artists intentions and   

                                                 personality building a stronger relationship with the audience.

who walks away so easily”
I'm here to stay and make

the difference that I can make

Our differences they do a lot to teach us,

how to use the tools and gifts we got Yeah,

 we got a lot at stake
And in the end you're still my friend,

at least we did intend for us to work
We didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not
And who I am.

I won't give up on us

Even if the skies get rough

I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
Still looking up...

Storyboards

i created a storyboard so when we went out filming we knew what costunmes should be worn in the shot and what different characters was going to be in the shot. It is also stated the location like the busy city of london which conveys the conventions of our artist as this is also shown across a range of different alternative   pop music videos from Ed Sheeran and jason Mraz.

Group Digipak analysis

Olivia Smiths Ancillary Product-Digipak

Above is olivias ancillary product. I think that the layout of each digipak works well as it looks professional and consists of a constant theme throughout the digipak. the typography is very unique which then relates back to how our chosen music genre is unique and different from mainstream trends. I also think that Olivias extensive use of different photoshop tools like glow, Magnetic lasso and colour tints works well as it makes the digipak look more professional.

I also think how she has used a series of different photos of the artist for the digipak. i also like how the vast use of white is used to convey how this music genre is different from mainstream artists. I also like how olivia has used the glow effect to make the text stand out more and be more apparent to the audience.

Harry Chicks Ancillary Product-Digipak

 Harry Chicks Ancillary Product-Digipak
Above is Harrys digipaks. there are a series of different things i like about harrys digipaks. I think that the constant use of the guitar worked well as it helps describe the type of artist to the audience and also conforms to the alternative pop genre. I think that the use of photoshop techniques worked well as it looks very proffessional displaying good skills with digital technology. I also think that the typography works as it looks proffessional and conveys the type of artist as the white text conveys the originality of the artist.

I also think that how parts of the digipak follow a consistent theme whereas the front cover is compleltly different not using the same background images and colours. This is good as it helps to convey the idea of how this music genre always tends to stray away from mainstream music and fashion trends.

Adam Taylor's Ancillary Product-Digipak

Above are the 6 parts to Adams Ancillary products. On his digipak he uses a consistent colour scheme which relates to the artists favorite music instrument. The Digipak is conventional to the music genre as it conveys the different style that alternative follows whereas mainstream will have more more colors and show their wealth and success.

The bottom picture is a double slide with one photo on. These are used to convey the artists interests or usually to show the artist however in this one the artist isn't present and only a famous landmark from the city london is present. I think that the whole digipak in a whole is conventional to the music genre as the whole digipak isn't only about the artist has he is only present in one slide. I think that the CD cover. 

The final digipak that i had to chse to submit was four slides from Harrys digipak and one from Alans digipak which is the double slide. I chose to submit this one as it best displays the proffesional use of photoshop and would look real if on the shelves at HMV a music retailer popular with the public. Also the colour brown conveys warmth which is an idea that i tryed to portray through the music video. Also is conventional as it has the use of an accoustic guitar which is popular with the alternative pop sub genre. 

Group Digipak Final

Front Cover

Double Slide

Back Slide

Disk

This is our chosen digipak. We used 4 slides from Harry's digipaks and adams double slide as the other two parts if the digipak. I chose this one as it best conveys the conventions of an alternative pop artist by displaying the common instrument used by this genres artists. This digipaks also best displays professional use with digital technologies. As each slide has different photoshop techniques on like fade and desaturate. We also decided to use adams double side as it displays a key landmark in london which follows the narrative of our music video.  

Digipak Reflection

This is the CD for my Digipak. I think that the CD is not a key part of the digipak as it will either be in the case or in a CD player. I used the light purple colour as the whole CD cover as i want it to just be a simple CD. The plain white text saying the artists name Justin Oakley is to again convey the same idea of being original and different from the common trends of the mainstream artists. 

On this part of the Digipak i had to add in personal slides with just photos of the artist. This is too give the audience a better look at the artist if they haven't seen him on television or one of his music videos. The artist is standing front of an all natural background of a tree. This picture slide looks good and professional as i have used a blur tool to blur the whole tree in the background. The artist is also dressed smartly in the photo. This gives the artist a positive representation as he looks smart and respectable.

Track list

For our media production i had to create ancillary products. One of these ancillary products consisted of digipaks. A digipak are the few sides to the booklet found in the case of an CD you will buy. The first part of my digipak was the track list. On the track list is all the songs found in that album. I think that the typography of the track list best conveys the artists music genre as the genre always strays away from mainstream trends as thats what's the genre is about, being original and different from the rest.

Digipak Cover

 This is the cover to my digipak. this will be at the front of the CD digipak and will be what the audience will see first. To create this i used photoshop. Using Photoshop i was able to add my own photos taken from the photo shoot and add different typography around it. I think that the picture works well as using the black and white effect conforms to the conventions of alternative pop artist as they stray away from mainstream trends. Mainstream trends will use much more colorful texts and images. I think that the typography works as it looks professional and would be appealing to the audience.

Thank you slide

 

Another part of the digipak was the thank you slide. In this slide is a short message from the artist himself saying thank you to all the people of his choice. As all i wanted to be clear was the message from the artist to all of his fans, family and production crew. I used an all plain back ground and white text to then convey the same ideas of how his genre has a strong contrast from mainstream music and trends.
