Title Ideas

As part of my research I have discovered 5 different songs which may suit the idea of Mine and Megan's music idea- as shown in this prezi below.


Parts of the videos we may want to use…
Lyrics: "Fluffy" By Wolf Alice.

Editing: "Not on Drugs" Tove Lo
 

These are ideas of ways to edit the video, however the acting will not be in a studio the way this is.
Character filming:
Props.... Halsey, New Americana




Ideas for a promotional package for the release of an album.

OCR: brief... 








The final three ideas myself and Megan have chosen are shown on a different blog post linked here- http://ferndisneyg324media.blogspot.co.uk/2016/09/best-three-ideas.html

Digipak examples...

When researching ideas of digipaks, this happened to be one of my favorite ones because even though it is simple, I like the vibe that is given off, I like the mixed colours within the X. This has given be a few ideas on our digipak of our idea- when we come to finally choosing the song. Personally, I believe the dull surroundings then being joined by the colourful middle is really interesting.








This is another example of a simple yet bold digipak which I really like because of the different fonts of the song titles and then the colourful "paint-like" splats on the front covered with the title of "The Plastic Dots" which is plain in contrast with the background- something I really like.

"Foo Fighters" Digipak is another one which really caught my eye because of the bright colours. I believe the bright colours on half and dull on the other is really important and ties in very well with our ideas on teen behavior.





My Rough cut example of a front cover....

A Magazine advertisement for the digipak...

This is an example of a magazine advertisement for an albums Digipak. I really like how bold and eye drawing this image is and how "basic" and plain the advertisement. This is very important because I wouldn't want too much writing taking away the focus of the main thing- the album of the music and of course the release dates and so forth. As shown by my choice of digipaks, I like plain surrounding with a colourful item within- I'm not sure yet whether I will have the object dead in the middle of off center, this would be an important factor when thinking about the magazine ad. because I wouldn't want it to be lost from focus and I want it to be eye drawing.

Music video Research

Narrative music viedos-
Singer Troye Sivan has three music videos which the story all interlink and carry on with each other.
He has called it the "Blue Neighbourhood Trilogy". This way of narration within music videos is a very clear idea because it makes it even more possible for the audience to form an emotional bond with the characters as they see them progress in life.

The story starts with two boys are a very close friends, we watch them grow up together and become closer and closer. We then see they become boyfriends, which one of the fathers didn't like and tried so hard to split them up. The emotional aspect of this is very high as we feel connected to these boys. The boys then stop speaking and one of the boys tries so hard to fake his life to please his father- by dating a girl. We then see how this affects the other.

The logo shown in the film trailer of "The secret life of Walter Mitty"- 20th Century Fox

Plot Summary: A man doesn't really have anything to show for his life as he doesn't believe anything he does is worth being shared, then at work a negative goes missing and then he begins his travels to try and help piece the history together, alongside this there is a travel of the main character trying to communicate "properly" with someone in which he appears to like/ want to be with her.

Showing the star of Ben Stiller.
Music such as Queen's Bohemian rhapsody- A very popular and world know song.
Target Audience- It would be a maturer audience, for example from around age 25 plus.
