Location Change

Unfortunately I had to change location from the school main stage to the drama department. The reasoning behind this was that i wanted to keep continuity in my video and I was unable to film on the main stage when I needed to. The drama room is free and was easy to set up in as it is easier to access. Another reason for my change is that the lighting was better in drama as I could use the spotlights in the ceiling as well as the free standing lights, which removed almost all shadow. As well as this it made the band bright whilst keeping the background dark following the conventions of my genre. Where as on the main stage, I was unable to use the lights as it was only available if used by a professional.

MAGAZINE ADVERT

Thought behind 'FUN BAND'

I wanted to portray a fun band that aren’t so serious and can have fun as well as perform. I feel that as well as the front cover following conventions of other bands, by having a 4 quadrant picture, it also makes the band look fun. This is backed up and emphasized by the panel under the CD which shows a fun picture of the band.

Evidence Behind Small Lyrics on inside of Digipack

The reasoning behind me putting the lyrics so small on the inside cover of the digipack is that it follows conventions of other bands such as the 2 examples which I have photographed, The Beasty Boys and The Avalanches. I feel this looks good and adds to the overall effect of my digipack.

Examples of Black and White CD Covers

My Cd cover follows similar conventions to the above covers as the images are black and white and  have a small element of colour for the band name/ album name!

Reasoning behind my magazine advert!

I wanted to keep the black and white theme running through my work. I feel that it works well as the digipack is predominantly black and white. As well as this I wanted to use the same text on the magazine advert as the digipack, as well as keeping the same colour palette; black white and red. I decided to use a minimalistic style and not over complicate the design of the magazine advert. The page clearly promotes both the band and its new album as well as the record company.
