poster
I have used all the usual forms and conventions of a magazine advertisement these include a masthead of the album name and artist, a website address which usually relates to the record company or artist appropriate, a main image which is likely to link to the album which you are promoting in some way and also text which provides detail of what is included in the album and terms and conditions etc. I first started of by getting my main image, the main image that I finalised on was a an image using props such as a bottle of blossom hill red wine, a wine glass with wine spilling out, mints and paraceptamol as pills, icing sugar as cocaine and a credit card, these items where all placed on a black marble kitchen top to make the colours stand out, also the blackness of the marble also links back to the black and white edits in both my music video and digipak. I then added the album title and artist name to my main image, in bold white fonts with the font been century gothic as this is the same font that I used on my digipak. In the far left hand corner I added ‘www.jaredjaymusic.com to make the poster look more realistic as this is a basic convention from advertisement posters. I then added text in the same font of century gothic however this time not in bold but just regular explaining what the album pack includes which again is something I saw on all advertisements when reading. I have used the same fonts and also images which tie in with both my digipak and video therefore the audience will easily be able to tell that all three of these media products match each other and are promoting each other.

Digipack

This is my first edit of my music video. My video shows the troubled life of a teen girl who is used to a drug and alcohol fueled life. The girl gets time to reflect back on what she is doing with her life but does not feel like there is anyway forward for her. The video shows the girls long for freedom by using symbolic things such as bridges, cars on a motor-way, the Statue of Liberty, Birds flying and planes. The girl however feels there is no way out and heads for a different alternative with the audience left open ambiguous to the audience.
Watching this back I can see that the beginning part of my video where the character is introduced needs to be reshot as the camera work is too shaky. I have also realised that i do not like the whole video in black and white and would like to change some parts back to colour so the audience can see the difference between past and present.
