Evaluation questions filmed.

For my evaluation questions I have answered all four of the questions by recording myself talking about them. I have answered the following, In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products, How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary task, what have you learn't from your auidence feedback and How did you use media technologies in the contruction and research, planning and evaluation stages. 

Evaluation question one. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? 

Evaluation question two. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary task? 

Evaluation question three. What have you learn't from your audience feedback? 

Evaluation question four. How did you use media technologies in construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

Disk Label.

Disk label was the soft ware which aloud me to create my digi pak using there templates. Although I didn't pay for this version it wouldn't let me export the final product so had to print scree this. I will talk through some of the tool on here which you can use. 

These are different designes that the software have created themseleves and you can use some of these, but then putting different information on them to make them personal. 

This tool allowed you to chose if you wanted your font in a particular way. 

This was the tools tool box, which included the mouse, roation mouse, drawing lines, shapes such as circles and sqaures, adding text vertically or horozontally, or round in a circle, as you can see there wasn't much to chose from, but if you wanted something simple like I did it was easy to use. 

This tool lets you do random, background image, background effect, text colour, font and font format, being random the software would pick this for you. 

This was how I cropped my pictures, it sometimes took a few attempts to crop it perfectly but it turned out okay in the end.

Here are the choice of font you can use and this is where I created my brand image using Letter Gothic. 

These are the different effect the software allows you to use, so there's things like grey scale, sepia things like that, but I used photoshop to do my editing on there. 

These are the templates you can use for the digi pak, so there is a disk label, CD case, DVD case, there are alot to choose from. 

Final Advertisement.

After looking at a few band advertisement I noticed most of them include the same picture on there album although it is a different layout and usually has 'Out now' on it to advertise the band or maybe a date when the album is released. I did this advertisement on disk label and used the dvd case template and used one side of it. I have used all the same font to so the audience can recognise this element. The 'Out now' I have chosen to present in red to stand out from the black. I have then put  small comment and including who the band featuring, and also some quotes, so when the audience look at my advertisement they see that well establish companies are promoting which must mean they are good. 

Final Disk Label.

This is my final disk label, likewise to my back cover this is another shot of the boys in slow motion jumping. I like how I've caught the main singer in focus and the other band memebers out of focus, and also Reece is jumping higher, so he looks like the dominant one. 

I edited this photo using photoshop, which again i used a misty filter to give it an almost older vintage effect. I have used the same font again so my audience notice the brand image and can realte this to my band. 

Final Lyric's Booklet.

Here you can see I have taken a picture of all four of the band members in the same position. This is what I would use as the lyric booklet as it shows a picture and has a clear part where the lyric's could go and stand out on the page.

I have again, edited these photo's using Photoshop, and i've highers the exposer to put film effect onto the picture, I think Reece's picture is'nt as clear, which I could of worked on but the battery of my camera was running out which lead to the camera loosing it's focus, also the edit isn't as contrasting as the others and the others have darker tones to them. 

Final Insert.

I have'nt dont much for this, as you can see, but I wanted to keep it plain and simple so there isn't too much going off when you open the cd, for there to be an expolsition of different pictures, I wanted this to look professional, so keeping the insert plain, helped do this. 

Final CD Cover.

I finally decided to go to the drama room as it was all black and do a photoshoot there for the digi pak. I started out by taking a picture of all of the band members in the same place with a simple expression on there face, I did this as I wanted them all to look as simular as possible. I was going to do this image in black and white, but I thought the different colours shown the band members work well and signifies it's someone different. 

As you can see I have put the name of the band first, but it is smaller than the album name of Vanish, I have purposly done this to advertise the album. I have kept the same font as the brand image so the audience can relate this to my brand image. I have kept the brand image front white to contrast the black behind it to stand out, I have done something simular with the album name although it's a grey/white colour. I have kept the background plain black so the focus is on the band members. 

The back over I have done a picture in slow shutter speed to present the motion of the band, and I have done the band jumping to they are together and having a good time. Again I have used the same font on the back as the brand image, I have also used the grey colour, and then for the credits I have used red to again stand out against the black. I have also put a bar code on the back cover to make it look realistic. 

To edit these photo's I used photoshop, this allowed me to do more things, and it came out alot better then my last attempt on a my cd covers. 

Lyric Booklet and Insert Idea One.

These were the first idea formy lyric booklet nd my insert. I had just taken these photo's from the music video and edited them again using Iphoto, some of the quality of these photo's I wasn't that happy with but some of the edit's looked quite good. I was going to use the first one as my insert and the band are all together with the main singer in the middle and the other band members at the side with there intruments. The other photo's I would use in the lyric booklet, although some might be hard are there is alot distraction in the photo, so the lyric's may not stand out as much. 

CD Cover Idea one.

This was my first attempts for my CD front cover. As you can see I have attempted to do something simular to the kings of leon a CD front cover. 

Here I began to do the picture in quaters like the kings of leon CD. These photo's I took out from the music video and edited on Iphoto. I then took a small screen shot of the tree from the top right and then placed it there with my title name. As you can tell, I have edited these photo's by cropping half of there faces to create one face. 

Moreover, with this time, I have used thirds instead of quaters, I quite like how this acually made one whole face, I still put my title in the bottom left coner but the end of the text goes on the image and it's harder to see. 

After compleating this two idea's, I asked the class which one everybody prefered, so the quater one or the thrid one. From one vote more, CD cover one won the vote, so I decided to do something more with this in mind. 

I think the focus of these photo's are not the best and I wanted to use my photography and editing skills to make this look the best I could, so I need to decied where I am going to do this in order of it to look as effective as possible.
