Evaluation Question 1 - In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?


Digipak - Final draft


This is my final draft for my 4 panel digipak, I showed it around the class and to some of my friends who don't do media studies to get some audience feedback. Currently i'm adding last minute touches to it such as a barcode to make it a more believable product.

Final Final Digipak

 

Audience Feedback

Sam Chamberlain - I think it's good, I really like the flower motif you have going on and it has a real bohemian feel to it.

Josh Savage - I think it's really well made and I love the flower patterns present although there is no writing on the side of the digipak and I think that would add more realism to the product

Dylan Elwell - It's pretty abstract but it all fits together well enough so that it isn't a problem and doesn't make it look terrible

Finished Poster - Bobby Chill

Here's my finished poster for the album release, it went through three or four different versions that will be posted later.

This is one of the other versions I created, as you can see there isn't much difference between the two posters beside's the album cover's postition on the poster, however due to the feedback I got from my class I decided to change it's position  as it was blocking "Bobby Chill's" line of sight

I tried another similar version without the reviews on the poster but I personally thought this left way too big a gap in the poster and this was reflected in the feedback I recieved.
The classic. This is a frame from my music video and just stood out to me as the poster. It represents all that is "Bobby Chill"

Big (and last minute) developments in my storyboard

So i've made some big changes to my music video, I went out to film and found out that virtually all of my ideas were too ambitious and I didn't have the resources to film this so i've had to scrap the idea. I've decided to go for a safer approach of having a a main stage performance that intercuts the artist sitting on a bench where people and things will happen that relates to the lyrics. Although i'm less pleased with this idea it's a lot safer and will be possible to film. A comparison of the two storyboards will be posted later

Digipak - Rough design

This is the rough design for my Digipak, obviously it's not the best looking Digipak at the moment but it gives you a rough idea of how I want my Digipak laid out. I'm going for a red, green and yellow colour scheme, a classic reggae colour set. On the inside I want pictures of instruments but the pictures will be enhanced to be darker and next to them will be text about the artist and how his career has spanned across the years.
