Comments On Our Music Video

As well as our questionnaire we had a few comments on the video itself. I shall insert a screenshot below. The comments were very positive and allowed us to feel that we produced the music video to a great standard to achieve the positive comments.

Questionnaire Results

Here are the results to our questionnaire that was primarily given to our target audience. They were those of the ages ranging between 15-18 and maybe a little older.

Our Questionnaire

This is the questionnaire that we will be giving to a group of people after they have watched out music video.

 

My Band Poster

The next task I had to do was to create a band poster that could be inserted into a magazine. I created this using the Adobe Photoshop Software. This is the part that I have enjoyed most as I was able to be creative and test out my skills within the software. I chose to do a tour poster over a album release poster as I felt this would allow me to be most creative. Below are some images of the different stages in the poster making process:

Firstly, I reminded myself of the kind of posters in the indie genre:

I then researched the real tour dates and venues for The Neighbourhood so that I could mirror their band as close as possible so that I was sure it was an accurate representation of the indie genre:

These were previous recent gigs:

This is an official band tour poster:

And finally, the final band poster piece ...

 

 

How The Digipak Turned Out

The digipak making process went very well and the final product came out as I had planned. I was able to follow the type of theme we had with the music video. We were also able to make the digipak fairly cheap as we used shots from the music video or photos we took along the way. The only cost used from this process was for petrol. This is great as it reflects the way a real indie band would produce their digipaks and CD cases.

At the beginning of our music video we used the circles placed over the guitar, we continued this onto the digipak and made it a feature of The California Strippers video. Other than that I kept the digipak in black and white which again was a feature of the music video and a theme throughout the indie genre.

The rest of the digipak is mainly focused on images of the band. This would help in the real world with the association and star image of the band as they would be a new band starting out and the audience wouldn't be aware of who the band are in the beginning.

Plan for Digipak

The digipak will have to reflect both the style we have used throughout our music video and the themes we have identified through other indie digipaks. Indie digipaks are often kept quite simple due to the bands not having a lot of spare money for the production of a professional digipak.




This is my plan for my digipak
