From this I had realised that my work had a few jump cuts and did not run as smoothly near the end of the song, so when I had watched it so I had made the changes and made an edited version of my final work

final analysis of Digipack



These are my final editing sequences I had made where I added the finishing touches to my front cover by adding the name of the album the connotations behind the idea of the album name was that Indie Rock bands usually perform at night where rock really comes to life so the idea came about to me that Rock should live forever in people’s minds the general concepts show that the night life is when everything comes to life this gave it that Indie/Rock edge of that quirky feeling with the white background behind the writing looks quite a unique distinctive look which added to the effect of my artist of that stamp effect of the white background which gave my album name an edge. The change I had made to my logo was changed the title of my Digipack the reason why I had done this was it made it more effective to have it and it added an edge to the Digipack giving it that brand identity that it will be used everywhere to stick into the viewers mind that they should see the title and the distinctiveness of it will give it a identity for everyone to remember.

Problems faced along the way

Problems I had along the way

I had faced many problems throughout my project one of the reasons was due to time management because I had not balanced out the time estimated on each individual project, i had also had to balance out the timing between my different a levels which I made a plan to keep my time management in order but however there was diff project deadlines so I had to constantly edit them to fit in also another problem was that due to the drama studio never being vacant due to Christmas assemblies and drama classes I had limited time in the studio also that there was severe weather conditions due to snow where school had to be closed or for health and safety reasons we did not film.

Also I had exams during the middle of this period whilst conducting this project So I had focused on my other A levels. Also there was some technical difficulties such as my memory stick damaging whilst doing my research so I had lost valuable work which I had started again also that when setting up in the drama studio it was very time consuming and sometimes teacher had locked up where we had to go contact the caretaker to open the doors many of the time there would be assemblies of exams the following day so we had limited amount of space to work in, where some equipment such as speakers were not working properly so it had taken use time to fix it getting new equipment because they had not worked properly whilst rehearsing so we constantly reminded the band members what we wanted in the shots. Most the time the shots were out of shots so we had to go again and re film the parts which was not in shot also taking a wide variety of shots that we had missed previously.

Another problem I had faced was that because I was fairly new to using certain technology it had taken me far longer because whilst making my Digipack I had to learn the basics of using Photoshop so I had researched this on viewing tutorials on YouTube and had to learn the foundations of setting up lighting in the studio and because I had learnt the basic foundations of the Mac it helped me buy I had to still learn some techniques in order to help me so this is what was time consuming for me.

Feedback on work

This has helped me a lot getting constructive feedback on my work this will allow me to improve in other areas which I am weaker at also it lets me know what I have done well on and that I should constantly strive for this goal.

construction evidence of editing























Digipack cover









This is what my Digipack would look like if I had actually constructed it together the reason I had done this is because I wanted to position where the covers would go and what they would like, also I had changed the inside cover of the Digipack of the trademark logo I had made I will get my peers feedback of which looks better.

Analysis of Digipack 2


The way I had altered my changes were through the background picture I had used the same picture from the Cd cover which was originally taken and had put it in the background where the CD will open and the transparency of the original picture would be there this gives it a dynamic edge to it will is quite interesting and eye catching to viewers. The reason why I had changed it was because the other picture of the band member did not really fit the concept of where the band members were positioned and was to dark for the setting was not really fitting the transparency of the CD, so when I had added this new picture of the band I had tried different positioning to see where it would fit in best and had achieved the look I was going for, that cool stylish Indie/ Rock look it had given it that quirky edge which I was going for this links to my research of Kasabian album covers of that stamp effect on characters and logos this inspired me to give that edge to my band members. The third print screen shows the development in changes I had made where I had taken the roses background because I had gotten feedback of my peers and they had said that it does not fit the theme I was going for and that it did not suit the Pictures I put in, so I decided to take it out, resized my picture and see what it looked like, I had got my peers views and they had said it looked far better than before. Then I had looked on the positioning of my barcode and record label so I had looked at album covers which links to my research so I had looked at Kasabian new album velociraptor and Arctic Monkeys album Suck it and See which gave me a understanding of how digipack back covers are set out which gave my CD cover a more establishing look. I had also changed the way my pictures would be displayed from the original picture which was relatively dull so I had put a contrast to make it darker with a more black and white theme which came from my original ideas which links to my research of Kasabian album Velociraptor of that black and white theme. Also I changed my logo to the same one as my Front cover and put a darker shadow of black and red on their this gave my band a of a group identity, this was effective because it gave my band a regional identity to look more professional so when used as promotional tool it would catch the consumer eye, because relatively people go to check the back cover to see the song listing and because my band it relatively standing out it will catch consumers eyes with this balderdash look to it, So these edited effects has given my Digipack a more innotive look which most Indie/Rock covers have.

Initial planning ideas for Digipack





Analysis of Digipack









The Reason why I had changed my Digipack was because it was to plain and did not give it that Inside look of lots of band member pictures so I had changed my initial plan and decided to edit more pictures and see what they would look like, In my first picture I had changed the picture a range of times to see which one would be most suited, and I needed a picture where the band was relatively close to each other, so I had cut out a circular template of the band picture and then put the stamp effect on it to give it that innovative edge of that Indie rock look this relates back to my research of the manic street preachers album. In picture 2 I had put a picture of the band in the background where I had contrasted the colours to look darker on the body area making the mise en scene darker to stand out more it gave it that rough urban look, where I had put the CD on top contrasting the colours making the CD background slightly lighter so it blends in with the background with the dark roses on the outline. In the third picture I had uploaded a picture of the two band members where I had put a contrast on the picture putting a lighter background with a darker outline around the two band members putting a dark glow around the two characters face giving them that artistic Indie look. The fourth and Fifth picture show me cutting out part of the border with the crop tool this was to make a pouch for the cover this was my inside cover where my individual band pictures will go in that is where the last three pictures above show where I had an individual shots of the band having the role, signature and band members name on their this will establish my band the connotations used here subsequently brings out that urban rock look of three young lads playing it cool.
