Evaluation Question 1

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
Forms and Conventions

Comparison To Other Media Products
To see how our digipak fitted in in today's market, I put it next to 4 other current albums in shops now. As you can see, I think that our digipak blends in nicely with the current titles on the market, but different enough to stand out on a shelf and leap out at potential buyers.

4 Panels of the Digipak





As it stands, this is our final digipak. However I may still do some final tweaks to it at some point soon.

The Editing Process

As Claire and Jack have been doing the editing whilst myself and Charlotte are designing and creating the ancillary tasks, we have had almost no technical input to the final video, only inputting into creative ideas and the actual filming of the video.
So to illustrate all the hard work that they have been putting in, here are a few links to their work on editing!

Video Editing Update

Whilst myself and Charlotte have been working on the ancillary tasks of the digipak and magazine advert, Claire and Jack have been busily editing our video. I am no genius at using Final Cut Express but here are a few examples of their editing!







I know that one of the main things that our group as a whole wants is to work out how to get just one part of a clip in colour: in our case we want that to be the red rose.
Through watching exemplar work from last year we knew that this was possible and we also knew that we had to use the chroma keyer tools. However, although we followed instructions from our classmates and various instructions from the internet, nothing was happening to our clip. Eventually, Claire came across this helpful tutorial from YouTube, and we finally were able to create the effect on our own video!

Final Magazine Advert



I may still tweak with some elements of this advert, but as it stands, this is our final magazine advert!
