Ancillary task - Poster



This is the final poster advert for my artist to advertise the release of the album. I kept the editing roughly the same to my digipak to show continuity and the look of this was achieved by cropping my image and increasing the saturation to 70% more than it the original image.

The bright colours of this poster reflect the song in my music video and it's somewhat cheerful tone about not wanting to grow or have your views dismissed or silenced.

Ancillary task - digipak


This is the Front Cover of my digipak and the effect of it was achieved by increasing the saturation of the photograph to my personal taste and what I thought I would buy if I saw it in a music shop.
 These are the two inside covers of my digipak and for the pair of them I decided to stray from the normal colour scheme of the front and back covers to something a tad strange and creative to reflect the image of my artist that I was aiming to achieve.
 The back cover of my digipak was achieved very similarly to the front in that I increased the saturation on photoshop to achieve a more crisp and bright looking photograph in which the colour of the leaves really contrasted that of the acoustic guitar.

Technical Elements of Storyboards

A storyboard is a frame by frame visual representation of the action which will happen on screen, this will include shot type, location/setting, actors, props/vehicles and the angle of the shot on the specific frame.
They must also include if actors or vehicles need to move in a frame and the direction which they need to move, if the camera moves in the frame to add motion and the direction. The description should include the time of day/lighting that will be used for different shots and if there are any special effects e.g gunfire, explosions and CGI that will need to be noted

Pitch Feedback







From the feedback I have recieved it seems changing my initial idea of an instrumental track is the best route for my music video and will make it overall an easier product to film and edit together.
