Digipacs

We have just started to construct our digipac. It was all flowing well until we realised that we would require photoshop again :( So wish us luck.....

Half Term

Over the half term, I will be thinking about digipac ideas ..... as well as sleeping and chilling out and probably eating way too much.

Just in time !!

We have had a lucky escape ..... I was stupid enough to manage to rip, strain and stretch the ligaments in my right knee and now I'm on crutches for several weeks. I know this has no relevance to our media video but I think that if this had happened any earlier, we could have been in some serious trouble !!!!

The Chat Show ...

We decided to have some fun while doing our analysis so we made this short video that actually ended with me and Katie having a small argument which she said was playing ..... but ..... Im not too sure ! :D

The Advert.

This is our advert that we created. It consists of photos we took on the iMac aswell as editing we did on the photoshop application.

Just had a worring thought ........

This is the last time that I will be doing any sort of media work EVER. AND WERE FINISHED ... so now im a little upset.

Photoshop ..... DONT GET ME STARTED !!!!

Ok it is official that unless you have any idea or past experience with photoshop, then it is impossible to use. Some of the other students are clicking away like mad people and then theres me and Katie looking at the screen with a million or so icons trying to find delete !!!!! But .... there is a light at the end of the tunnel, if we stay calm, and take our time, then, with hope and luck, we might just get this advert done :) Wish me luck .....

Some Research on Adverts .... Before We Attempt Our Own

We decided to look at a few different adverts which have already been used in order to try and see what is affective and what is not. I realised that after looking at all the adverts and then watching the video or song it was advertising, i could see that colour played a massive part of the subconscious understanding of the advert. For example, the massive attack advert looks rather strange and slightly mysterious, this is reflected in the song. The Midlake advert portrays the song as being rather Gothic and heavy and without a doubt, it was what i expected. Therefore while making my own advert, I made sure that I reflected the song. i now know that i must use colour and fun ideas in order to get the viewer to understand my song without having to initially watch it.

Interview 1 - Charlie Duke

This is my friend Charlie. I interviewed him to see what he thought of my video.

Here are a few comments that we got on the social networking site Facebook after only a DAY of releasing our masterclass to the World.
