They suggested adding selective color, such as to the eyes, and adjusting the text to be in line with the hair. The designer plans to make these improvements and get additional feedback on the updated design.
I collected feedback from 5 random students at my college's canteen on a video I produced by having them write down what they liked and areas for improvement. Based on the feedback, most people liked the character Lauren's scenes but felt the character Joanna's scenes needed slower pacing and more movement between shots. I will address this by adding more movement to Joanna's scenes through walking shots with different costumes and by increasing the pace of edits with no shot longer than 2 seconds on average.
The document discusses the improvements and successes of a recent photo shoot compared to the previous shoot. A better high angle was achieved and the outdoor location provided more varied shots. All required photos and shots were completed successfully due to improved angles and a professional approach. The only downside noted was that the lighting was a bit bright for filming purposes.
A is alone in a woodland surrounded by dead trees, leaves, and a decaying wall. She plays with a crumpled leaf, tearing it up and expressing that she feels scattered in life. Looking at the wall, A says she will say goodbye if this is what life is. Gazing at the sky, she says someone has gone like an angel. With hope lost, A turns to the ground and asks to burn her wings that night. The camera then pans up to the sky as the sun transitions to the next scene.
The cover features a crying woman with tape over her mouth, conveying sadness and victimization common in metal genres. It is in black and white to set an atmospheric and edgy tone. Photos on the bottom show the band and crowd to demonstrate popularity. The fonts give impressions of darkness, higher class, and importance to different elements. Overall the design captures a melancholy tone through its images and use of black and white.
The Doctor and Ace arrive at a naval base during World War II where an ancient evil named Fenric has been awakened. Fenric unleashes monstrous servants called Haemovores that attack the base and drain the blood of victims. The Doctor learns Fenric's ultimate plan is to poison the oceans and destroy all life on Earth. He engages in a chess game with Fenric to determine the planet's fate in an climactic finale involving the Haemovores and Fenric's possession of different characters.
The pilot episode of "How I Met Your Mother" follows Ted as he goes on a date with Robin, where he mistakes signals and professes his love for her too soon. Key shots include a close-up of Ted and Robin engaging in romance before Ted ruins it. The editing flows as a narrative and uses jump cuts between time periods. Mise-en-scene like the apartment setting and realistic costumes help set the sitcom atmosphere.
The document summarizes and analyzes three music videos based on their creative choices, media language, editing, and overall successfulness. For the first video, "A-Ha" by Imogen Heap, it notes the use of a music box, bright lighting, and slowed down overlay that help create atmosphere and hold audience attention. The second video, "Seventeen Candles" by The Pink Spiders, is critiqued for its slow pacing, lack of close-ups, and out-of-sync lip syncing that detract from its professionalism. The third video, "Just Like Tiger" by Steel Panther, effectively uses a tiger costume, golf setting, and metal conventions like moshing
The music video for Michael Jackson's "Beat It" features both a narrative storyline and performance elements. The narrative shows a gang war breaking out in a diner that is prevented by Jackson's singing and dancing. Through its dark lighting, costumes, and use of long shots, the video draws on elements of the rock genre, but also includes singing, dancing, and a problem-solving narrative common to pop videos. The visuals correspond to but do not directly depict the lyrics, and the editing matches the increasing pace of the music.

The document analyzes the music video for "Another Way to Die" by Alicia Keys and Jack White. It was created to promote the James Bond film Quantum of Solace. The video features performances by Keys and White in a desert and CGI landscape, with no narrative. It uses various shot types but lacks voyeurism. There are numerous references to Bond films through the artists' costumes, locations, and a cameo by Daniel Craig that help tie the video to the movie series.
The music video for "Another Way to Die" features Alicia Keys and Jack White performing the James Bond theme song in two locations - a desert and a CGI landscape. While the video lacks a narrative, it incorporates many references to Bond films through the artists' costumes, locations, and a cameo from Daniel Craig as James Bond. However, the visuals do not relate to the lyrics of the song and the pacing of the video does not match the fast-paced music.
The music video is a narrative that tells the story of Busta Rhymes and Kelis, portrayed as secret agents, who engage in a series of fights but ultimately reconcile their relationship. It draws inspiration from the film Mr. and Mrs. Smith through similar plot elements and references the title characters. Visuals like costumes and lighting conform to rap music video conventions while the story unfolds through cuts matched to the song's changing beats. Medium shots are used during fight scenes to emphasize the violence and emotion.
2. Digipack Design after Audience Feedback:
Background Black to blue and red gradient back ground.
Not too black, costumes should still stand
out.
Photo Style Colour with very low, cold saturation, with
some colour bleeding through, but very cold
looking to create atmosphere.
Font- Group Name Century Gothic. Further experimentation
required if font doesn’t work. Colour should
be white or light grey.
Font- Album Title Courier, further experimentation required if
font doesn’t work. Colour should be white or
light grey.
Font- Song Title Century Gothic. Further experimentation
required if font doesn’t work. Colour should
be white.
