Digipak Feedback session

Our class all got together after creating a few designs for our Digipaks and presented them to the class to get feedback on our ideas, and to help groups decide which ideas would get a general better reaction as we voted for specific ideas from what each group had shown.

From our session we showed our two ideas and explained them to the class

The first idea depicting the main singer and the guitarist lying/sitting in a field, the guitarist playing, The title of the album "Daisies of the Universe" and also the Explicit Parental Advisory label for the front cover, the back cover being a Daisy covering the entire back cover with the track list in the middle of the daisy.

The second idea done by James is more centred around the name of the actual album and shows a Daisy literally floating through space for the front cover, although the Centre of the daisy is Earth, with "Daisies of the Universe" written around the petals of the daisy, and the Explicit Parental Advisory label in the corner as well. The back cover showing the continuation of the space image used on the front cover, but this time showing an actual daisy with fallen petals flowing around the image and the track list overlaying.

From this feedback was given and a vote was taken to see which elements would be best used for the cover of the album, After general discussion it was decided that the Cover and Back cover that James did will be used for the outside and the Daisy image that was originally for a back cover from My design will be used for the inside cover where the leaflet or the CD holder image will go.

Digipak Brief

We have now started working on our Digipaks, our aim is to create a CD cover for the music video's release as well as a magazine advert to go along with the CD cover

filming feedback

Here are the images that were taken while we were having a feedback conversation of our video while it was still in the editing progress, we got both positive and negative feedback on the video as it stood, this included:

- Adding some effects on parts of the video, maybe a colour tint etc

- editing the length of some of the clips (for example there was one clip of James Hunter playing the guitar that carried on for a few seconds too long)

All of the comments were taken into account as the rest of the editing was completed.

Once our videos were finished, they were shown to a class of year 9's who, in groups, wrote their feedback on the video and we received similar feedback both positive and negative.

"We liked the characters changed to kids then back" - Referring to the scene with Jared and James

"Better things: Better outside props" - Referring to the props used in the outside scenes with Lewis (the clown)

"Interesting, good camera use and tricks"

"Could be better: Understanding of it"

"Good - effects, clown and good camera angles"

"Improvements - Can't hear what the person on the start says, a bit boring and didn't really make any sense"

"Good - Blending the pictures"

"Improvements - Did not make sense"

Through these, we can see that the video didn't make much sense to the kids, which is why the target audience is aimed at a more older audience that will be able to listen to the lyrics and to link the video to the meanings in the lyrics.
