Ideas for CD cover

In this blog i am going to put ideas on how i would like my CD cover to be for when i promote my music video the images i am going to put put is album covers from other musical artists


1) I chose this image mainly because of the idea of the spilt screen, with the spilt screen as the front cover, this idea would be consistent with my music video. With this album cover I also like the the text of 'Usher Vs Raymond', this is obviously showing competition and rivalry between the two people.

Also, with this image of the same person on either side on the cover I also want to incorporate into my album cover, but in my album cover I want two different images of the same person to be more obvious than compared to the image on the left, this would hopefully added to create dramatics to the separate personalities. This would be done in different clothing, positions of posing.

With the special effects in the background of this image, which is the smoke effect, well that's the one i want to focus on, the added smoke adds more depth to the total look.

2) I chose this cover because i love the emotion which is presented. This is the type of emotion and dramatics which well represent the music video as well

The presentation why still filming

We had to present to our media class where we have filmed up to, in our music video which we showed was combined with actual shots and the animatics. This was because we hadn't finished filming and we didn't want the audience to feel lost and also to show them what we still had to do. Here is the feedback below:

Positive Feedback

• Frstly they like the use of shots, they said that they were steady and

Negative Feedback

• When we were filming Jermaine and Fatimata during when they having a picinic. Our shadow when filming them close was there, as a result we were planning to use a different shot.

Feedback- first edited draft

In class I had present my first draft of my music video to my fellow classmates and say what they liked and disliked about my music video

Negatives:

• Most of the shots used in the music video were longer in comparison with the beat of the music, so to improve this, making a scene with her singing the music in a different setting could be used within the longer shots
• Some of the shot the actors come out of the shot slightly, and it was said that it loses impact on the action thought the shots
• Also, during the arguing shots, the use of close ups would be better, because its shows more emotion and action in the music video.
• We should make the part where we first used the spilt screen shot and use it for a longer period of time

Positives:

• They like the black and white scenes, they said that it was humorous and really effective to show that what was filmed was a very long time ago, almost a life time away.
• Also, they really enjoyed the editing techniques used in the frame, it was very dramatic and creative
• Another point was that they like the stop motion used at the end, it was really effective in showing the uneasiness and the addiction in her.
• Also, they liked the shot in the bathroom where she is singing, the part that they enjoyed the most was the use of the mirror to show her reflection
