Font Ideas

We used Dafont to download new fonts that suit the style of the band. We then chose which one looked most effective.

We chose Sketchblock:

This font looks good and we thought it would appeal to the target audience's age group. It is also very clear and easy to read so the song names will stand out well.

After adding this font to the back pane of the digi-pack we then realised that the font did not go well with the front page tattoo font. We are still using Sketchblock on an inside panel.

We are now using Selfish from dafont on the front:

Evaluation Ideas

Question 1: How does your media product use, develop and challenge the conventions of real media products?

• Voice over our music video at points of different conventions.
  

Question 2: How effective is the combination of your main product and ancilary text?

• Blog post

Question 3: What have you learnt from your audience feedback?

• Video or audio interviews with other media students, students interested in the punk rock genre of music and others to get a wide view of different opinions.

Question 4: Have you used new media technologies?

• Blog post

Changing the Narrative

We felt that the shots we filmed were not effective when cut to fit the storyboard because each shot was shown too long. Music videos, especially of the punk rock genre, have to have quick cut shots to math the pace of the music. By sticking to the storyboard the attention of the audience would be lost.

Because the editing differs from the storyboard it meant that the narrative sequence we had in mind was too long winded for the rest of the video, we needed a quick pace idea.

We did some extra research into narratives in punk rock music videos and found "Dirty Little Secrets" By The All-American Rejects. We liked the idea of using placards to show the story. This also means that we can use quick cuts of different words to keep the pace.

Filming Settings

Two weeks ago we filmed footage for our music video for "Love or Lust" by Kids From The Summer. We chose Worle Community school as our setting because it has a large stage which could fit all the band members and their instruments. We took two cameras with us and set them up in different positions to establish a variety of angles. We filmed extra footage then we actually planned to so we had more to play with in the editing stage.
