WEBSITE FOR TRASH

And this is my digipak (CD Cover and Album Art)

This is my back cover. It features a list of songs that are included on the album as this is a common convention of album covers. with the spine to the right of the picture it will fit on the layout of the disc case.
The picture is a montage that I illustrated on Photoshop where i had to remove segments of some pictures and combine them with other pictures to make a cool looking image that fits their style.

Thanks and song lyrics are also conventions of Booklets, However, I put behind them a photo that I took when I was filming them at Outlines and their practice room that creates a cool aesthetic that fits the entire housestyle of the package.

This is the disc. Featuring the band, title of band and the album name. Simple and effective with the white hues clshing with the contrasted darks. This piece of the digipak doesnt require complex montage of images and therefore I believe a simple shot of the band was sufficient.

This is another 2 pages to the booklet that adheres to the somber colour scheme of the entire house style. However, the content of these 2 pages are more informative of legal requirements, social media links and information about the band.

This is the front cover of my album that is a similar image on the rest of my album. I really liked the effect I put onto the combined images of the banned and enjoyed the pale colour scheme with a yellow hue in the center, much like on the poster behind them. The photos are inundated with musical instruments and genuine mise-en-scene of the music industry and live performance. such as: amplifiers, guitars, mics. All of this enhances the authenticity of it.

Evaluation Question 3

I have used Microsoft Powerpoint to answer this question about audience feedback. I then uploaded it to Slideshare, an online medium where people share slide shows for educational purposes, primarily.

Evaluation Question 2

I have written question 2 up on Evernote

HERE IT IS

Evaluation Question 1

For this question I have used Voki. An animation website that lets animations speak. I made them have a debate to what theories my media product adheres or doesnt adhere to many different media theories.

My first voki

Second voki

Third voki

Final voki

Unfortunately, after using this I realised that Voki actually cuts out after a duration of about 20/30 seconds on each one.I have used Pixton to create a comic strip featuring a conversation with me and some key media theorists.

Music Video: UPDATE

I have began editing my music video but am struggling with editing the music and video at precisely the same time. Without this synchronisation it will look extremely unprofessional but it is the toughest part of editing music videos that I didn't even think would be an issue.


EDIT: I have watched multiple YouTube videos on tips of editing music videos and after a long time, I've managed to do it.

Shooting: Skate Central, Sheffield.

We decided that shooting at Skegness, despite it's desirable features, was not the most ideal place to shoot. So, I asked them if there was a gig they was playing at soon and they invited me to Outlines Festival, in Sheffield where they was to play on a roller rink. This was ideal, a bit quirky, and perfect for my video.

I shot them from start to finish and got a lot of good footage, authentic footage of them gigging and enjoying themselves. I believe when I come to edit this their genuinity will show through.

Overall a change in location was probably a good thing. I am more than happy with the footage I gathered.

Digipak: Website

Attached below is my Website that I have designed for TRASH. It features with Menu, Video, Blog, Merch, Advertisements, Paypal, Social Media links and information about them.

First Shooting - Tom's House

On the 23rd of January I went to the bassist's house (where they practice) and filmed them play Brochures 3 times through focussing on different band members. I also photographed them in their practice room and on a blank background for their social media profile.


I got a lot of footage and will make a full timeline of this shoot, this will allow me to iteratively edit the footage as I still need to shoot the rest of my music video.

Issues with Shooting

It has become apparent that due to band practice and other unforeseen situations I have been unable to successfully organise a shooting schedule with the band this week. As we have to account for 5 people not doing anything it is an issue. 




EDIT: I have come up with the genius plan to shoot them at practice, with a live performance based video. I need them playing the song I am doing but this would be the ideal place to shoot.

Developing my Working Relationship with TRASH

I recently held a Skype Call with their lead guitarist, Evan Martin.

We discussed the music video in depth (pre-production, production and post-production).
