Completed Digipack

We've finished our final version of our very owndigipack. It took a bit of time but we managed to get on top of things and complete it finally. We decided to use Photoshop to create the digipack because it was the only software that allowed us to use the digipack template and the pictures we took for the digipack. We used a variety of pictures in the digipack e.g. we had group pictures and individual pictures. This is so that the digipak is realistic to an R&B album. In the actually digipak there was a lot of colourful and vibrant colours used because again it represents how bubble and fun the band (Khandi Floss) is.

Here is the template for the "KHANDI FLOSS- CRUSH ON YOU" digipack:

Starting Our Digipack

Researching the digipack gave us an idea how to start and make a digipack. Therefore we arranged a day where everyone could be available because it was important to have all 3 girls as it’s their album. We gave the girls an indication to what dress code the girls should have because organisation is key to a digipack. Looking at Destiny’s Child albums they have the same look and theme as they didn’t want to confuse the audience with disorganisation. Once we had the girls, we started by taking pictures of the girls round the school because that’s what we are using for the digipak. We used 4 different locations round the school to take the pictures.

The locations were;• LOCKERS• PLAYGROUND• DRAMA ROOM• SIXTH FORM BLOCK
In each of those locations Meghan who was our photographer took about 3 pictures from each place.

Here are 4 of my favourite pictures from the different locations:

1.LOCKER ROOM

2.SIXTH FORM BLOCK

3. PLAYGROUND

4.DRAMA ROOM

BARCODE

I created a barcode for the Digipack. I felt that if we researched and used any barcode on google images (for example) then it wouldn’t be original therefore we wanted to be creative and do our own. The barcode was created on Windows Paint. I got a small template from online and then edited it myself on windows paint. The barcode will be going on the back of the Digipack at the bottom as every single/album has one. Here is the barcode that was made:

Examples of a Digipack

One example of a digipak is Michael Jackson’s This Is It album:

That album is a digipak because it contains 2 discs and the ablum actually has gatefold (book-style), which means it closes like a book. I believe that the This Is It album is the best example because it's probably one of the most successful album ever. The album was the twelfth best selling album of 2009 in the United States and the third best selling album of 2009 based on worldwide sales.

Another example of a digipak is Kanye West album Heartless:

What is a digipack?

Digipack is an original style of compact disc or DVD packaging. Digipacks typically consist of a gatefold (book-style) paperboard or card stock outer binding, with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a CD or DVD attached to the inside. Digipack-style packaging is often used for CD singles or special editions of CD albums and the tall DVD Digipak (DVD Digipack) is used as a premium package for DVDs and DVD sets.Above is a picture of what a standard digipack looks life.

VIDEO FINISHED!!!!

WE HAVE FINALLY FINISHED OUR MUSIC VIDEO WE WILL BE ON OUR BLOGS VERY SOON UNTIL THEN STAY TUNED INTO THE BLOG!!!

Classroom Scene

We finally added the Classroom scene as it is now very good to watch here is a picture:

Rap Scene

This is a picture of the Rap Scene. We chose to do the rap scene in another classroom because this matches the school typical school environment of the music video. The rap scene looks really good. We made alot of ammendments to this bit as it does stand out amongst other significant scenes in the music video. A lot of transitions were uses aswell with split screens and disolves we wanted to portray the rapper in a certain and we believe this was the right way.

AUDIENCE THEORY

EDITING

We have managed to almost finished editing our music video , we have added many different techniques and continue to add more dissolves and other transitions that make the music video stronger. We have successfully finished filming the Opening scene, Opening scene(Side Walk), Locker room scene, Concert scene dance studio scene and we are still deciding about the classroom scene but we have some footage of itWe are hoping to finish the last few scenes of our music video, but so far everything is looking good so far Editing wise.
