Third Draft Of Final Products In Terms Of Progression

These are Three of my designed inside selves for posters on the inside sleeve:














I now require audience feedback to decide which is most:
  1. Aesthetically pleasing
  2. Most appropriate for purpose.
  3. Most attractive and liked by my target audience.
  4. Uses a different shot type than that of my cover and back cover of my Digi-Pack.
  5. Which design is most authentic yet original at the same time?

Please leave comments and suggestions in terms of these target questions above as it will enable me to produce a more effective product which is direct to my target audience not my own personal preference or use the Questionnaire bellow which have more promotes.




This is my first mock up of my inside sleeve and CD spine, however I am not entirely happy with there outcome as I believe there is a missing element on both products yet desire input to improve this,so please leave your suggestions bellow.



The main criticisms were applicable to both products:-
  1. There is a lack of the presence of the unique selling point of the product , the Lego men.
  2. There isn't enough information on the inside sleeve to be sustainable for the coloured lines to compensate.
  3. The right hand corner of the inner sleeve needs something interesting eg. Lego to distract away from the empty space.

Positives

  1. Clever use of intertextuality eg. the logo, the coloured lines inspired from the logo.
  2. The typeface size is in proportion for both products and is clear.
  3. The information is useful and necessary to such products.
  4. The colours used are bright and exciting and reflect the genre of the music.

Second Draft Of Final Products To Show Progression and Use of Audience Advice.

Front Cover Changes Made :
As you can see I have made the daft punk logo more of a centre piece and used the aid of colour to do this from the inspiration from thew colour of the typeface.I then applied a tapper to certain strands of the disjointed titles and this gave a more dramatic look and which was more appealing to the audience and grabbed there attention.
Back cover Changes Made :

I again used the same use of diagonal boxes and colours to create a centre piece
Poster and Changes made :


I used the Questionnaire above to see the level of progression and my audiences opinion on the work I have made in terms of there criticism.On suggestion was that a spine and inside poster should be created so that is what I am working on at the moment an a description of the reasons for changes I have made are above.

Music Video Progress:- Demonstrated By Numerous Drafts and Evaluation

Bellow is a series of rough cuts of my composition of my music video to enable you to see the progression of my project and the different layers it comprises of . Therefore seeing the elements added and there effect upon the videos effect on my target audience.From this I desire for evaluation and constructive criticism to enable me to produce my final cut which compliments the song well and is professional in appearance in terms of life action , stop motion and story telling.

(Please document the noticeable change between each cut and the tweaks made and make a note of the elements / shots which are effective and those that hinder the project.)

Draft One - Rough Cut

Rough Cut Two

Rough Cut Three

Rough Cut Four -This cut has up to 5 minutes of complete footage, I shall use in my final project so this is the cut I desire the most feedback on a number of factors from composition,Mise-on-scene to editing and lighting to enable me to make the best final project i can.

Also take into account the variation of shots i use,there length and its effectiveness or hindrance.

The Rough cuts present above demonstrate my progression why making my music video due to technical difficulties such as blogger crashing why uploading videos and filtering.I completed my coursework correct to my 1st December 2009 deadline but wasn't able to post them until 9th December when the technical difficulties were corrected and this is reflected in my schedule.
