The first cd cover

This is my C.D cover but as you can see it is not yet done and there are a few mistakes on it, there is a picture of another band on there and i have put Mystery jets on there and not Fudge. This is just the first copy of it.

A decision...simplicity is Key!!!!

We have to decided not to put our music video on Final Cut Pro as we wanted a simplier feel to it and Final Cut wasn't needed for that. This means that we will have it done much sooner as we wont have to spend time uploading it on there and then playing around with it as the people in our 1st crit lesson thought it was much better and more effective making simplistic. I think it conveys the code and conventions of the Indie genre being simple.

1st Crit lesson..

After showing our music video in a crit lesson, everyone said they loved the simplicity of it and that if we put split screens in it would ruin the style of it. When we done this there were still some gaps that needed filling so it was interesting to see what they thought we should put there. Some people also said that what made it so effective is the fact that it confides to all of the code and conventions of an indie music video. They also liked the narrative of it as they never thought thats what we would have done. We got comments on the actors and how it seemed so relaxed which made it lookmore realistic.



We came away from that crit lesson happy with the feedback we had recieved and had more ideas of what we could put in the gaps we had left over. we was glad that our audience got it and felt that they could relate to it more.

The Digi Pack...

For my digi pack I have gone for the look of old.
With the song being about young love, i decided to make the whole album about looking into the past so all the songs about it and the front cover is a vinyl. It is the bare minimal because i wanted to go with simple as that was the theme of the music video and i believe it would be the theme for all there music videos.

I am having trouble with my digi packs, it wont let me save it on photoshop so everything i am doing for that now has to be hand done until it is fixed. I have alot of ideas of what i want to do it's just getting it on paper or on photoshop. I have been looking at Mystery Jets C.D covers and i have notcied that they are simple but effective so thats what i want to do with mine.
