PLANNING: Video Storyboard

Below is the storyboard for my video, it shows what will happen in order.

FINAL PRODUCT: Final Digipack

This is what i finally came up with for my digipack, as you can see i took all of the given feedback into consideration and used a lot of it.

Above is the final front cover and the final inside cover of the digipack, as you can see I took the idea that Jack Holmes put forward of changing the heads to that of something else, I think it was a good suggestion because it adds to the surreal image of the band. I also too Jack Perry's idea of using light colours, such as blue or creams.

As you can see I also put the alternate heads as the heads on the back cover.

I used images from the video to make the actual DVD label

PLANNING: Target Audience Feedback

So I could get an idea on whether my digipack was good for its purpose I asked some people in my target audience what they thought about it. My target audience was teenagers ages 13-18 generally male. This is the feedback I got.

Jack Perry - "The idea for the front cover is good, but you don't explain the colour scheme that you are going to use, I suggest you use light colours, blues or creams, as any colours such as black or browns would not really fit with the idea of using "The Beatles" other than that, I like the idea of using images from your video as part of the digipack, it adds consistency."

Jack Holmes - "I like the idea of the digipack, but perhaps you could change it to be a a little more surreal as this would fit better with the albums music - for example you could replace their heads with something else, for instance animal heads."

Charlotte Butcher - "I like it but I think you need to make it more colourful."

Sonny Drake - "I think that the album cover and the rest of the digipack are well thought through, and look good, but my main thought on how to improve it would be that the front cover has a lot of blank space around the top, maybe you could use something to fill it up, a picture, or some text would be good."

PLANNING: Draft Digipack

As part of the coursework i have to create a Digipack for my CD to go in, here you can see the draft for this Digipack and the reasons i have made it this way.

If these are too small to read, please save the images and open them, so they are legible.

PLANNING: Video Influences

There was one main music video that influenced the way my video has been filmed and that was Subterranian home sick blues - Bob Dylan


This video has been copied many times, most famously by Maxell tapes adverts.

I decided this would be a good way to make my video because it is easy to illustrate the words from the song.

PLANNING: Tools used

I have had to use several different tools to help me make my video and digipacks. One of the most usefull tools i have at my disposal is Adobe Photoshop CS3 this helps me cut and paste the heads, the background and all of my digipack together. Im also using Adobe Premier Pro and iMovie to create the film. For the animated section of the video im using a programme called 3DS Max.

PLANNING: Format - Text

Im using a simple text format called "Graffiti Three" I chose this font because its a little wierd and i think this fits in well with the video as well as all the other choices i have made about the band. This will be used for the bands main logo. The other font i will be using is "Franklin Gothic" im using this because it is easy to read and neat, but i will be moving it around and crowding it together so it is important that i had picked a very simple but easy to read font.

RESEARCH: Influences

The Residents: One of the people who influenced the idea for my video, specifically the animal heads, was the residents. They change the heads of the band on many covers and videos to things such as eye balls. You can read more about them here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Residents

Slipknot:This band also cover up their faces using masks at all times, they masks are usually wierd or scary, which makes it similar to us changing the heads to animal heads. You can read more about them here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slipknot_(band)

Sound Garden: Have made some very surreal music videos, such as black hole sun, and this could be attributed to my music video.

You can read more about them here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_Garden

There is also a clear influence in my video, as well as in the digipack, where there have been influences from The Beetles
