Audience Feedback Improvements - Close Ups & Location Change
After listening to my audience feedback I understood that in order to grab their attention more with my music video, I would need to include some shots that involved a different location and also different types of shot such as mid to extreme close ups.
I decided to shoot some more footage of the lead singer singing the lyrics to camera in a different location, this time with a white background which would be a stark contrast to the mostly black performance element to the video.
I also decided to include some extreme close ups of the singer looking around and to camera, and then slowed these down to around 10-30% of the original speed using Photoshop. I did this to match with the slower portions of the song, and hopefully created a more interesting and immersive experience.

Work In Progress... #3
This is our video near completion. I will need to add more clips to the video and also put it into After Effects once completed in order to fine tune the colours seen and edit any other touch ups necessary.

Insert Information
By researching into the different digipaks available on the market, I noticed that a convention of digipaks is to often contain an insert which has each of the songs available on the album and eacho songs lyrics.
My partner decided to create an insert containing the songs that will feature on our album 'I AM'.
These include:
1) Doomed
2)Doomed
3) out of the black
4) BAE
5) Tear in my heart
6) Forever
7)Lion skin
8)Watcherman
9) Anatarica
10) One hundred
11) Grey Havens
12) Torn

Audience Feeback, Digipak Version 1
After looking at the feedback we received on our digipak I can see there are few things I should change in order to create the best digipak I can for our target audience. The main points for improvement raised were as follows:
1) The album title
This should be made obvious as it is lost a bit against its background
2) Hand positioning
The members hands should be placed differently to be less prominent in the photo
3) Tracklist font type
The font type should be changed on the back so that it matches the album title

Digipak Front/Back, Version 1
This was my first attempt at creating my designated pages of the digipak, using the images I had taken from our photoshoot. I used Photoshop to create both, using a range of tools.

This was my first attempt at creating a front cover for the digipak. I am not 100% pleased with the outcome however it was my first attempt and so I will look for some audience feedback in order to know where to improve it so that it is perfectly suited to my target audience's tastes.
Here I have created the back cover of my digipak. I used a photo of the lighting rig in the background so that there was some colour and contiuation of theme throughout the digipak however as the image is not too flashy or distracting, it does not draw too much attention away from the tracklisting.
I also included the record label, barcode and parental advisory logo at the bottom as this is a convention of digipaks.

Work In Progress... #2
After receiving some feedback on our first Work In Progress post, we have taken on the notes and have edited what we had of our video. Where there are still some blank spots, which will be filled in later, we took on our audiences advise for example making more fast paced cuts between each shot and looking into more interesting camera angles.

Organisation via Whatsapp
The following images are screenshots taken from a groupchat me and my partner created on Whatsapp in order to make organisation easier. We use this group chat to talk to the members of our 'band' and plan our filming/photoshoots.

Lighting Test Shots/Behind The Scenes
Here are some photos of when we were testing the different coloured lights that we had available to us and how they showed up on camera and on people. This came in useful as it meant that we knew what would work and what wouldn't before filming and taking any photographs.

Work In Progress...
This is the first minute of our music video
so far. We may make some further changes to the first minute, after speaking to our target audience and getting some feedback, however so far we are happy with the progress.

Call Sheet for Filming Day
This is the call sheet that me and my partner have created to enable us to have a clear table of where, when and who we need to meet. This will increase the ease of filming, as all information will be clear and organised in one place. We will hand them out to all those participating in our filming and photographs, so that they know exactly where to go and when. It also provides information about emergency services and contact details of all involved in case of an emergency.

Logo Ideas
Here shows a few examples of the logo ideas that my partner created/found during the planning stage for our digipak. The idea subverts from the usual aspects of the rock genre, as they often don't have logos but just a name. However, by subverting from this convention we would enable our band and product to stand out on the market and also be easily and quickly recognised - a brand identity.
