Q1 Section 2 DRAFT
The document discusses conventions used and challenged in the design of a music album. It describes:
- Using a natural, handwritten font and nature imagery to match conventions of the indie folk genre.
- Developing conventions by using beach landscape imagery rather than forests, and including performers rather than just the artist.
- Challenging conventions by including supernatural imagery and not just promoting the artist.
- Following conventions like a track list on the back, and developing conventions like applying a film look to images.
- Using the artist's name prominently in the magazine ad to catch attention, as is standard for the medium, but including performers instead of just the artist which challenges genre conventions.
Evaluation Question 1
The document discusses the conventions of music videos, digipak album covers, and magazine advertisements. It analyzes how the student's media products for an indie artist used, developed, or challenged these conventions.
The student created a narrative music video with performance elements, sticking to conventions. For the digipak, conventions like close-up shots and direct gaze were followed, while placement of text was challenged. Inspiration from other designs was taken. The magazine ad used the front cover photo per convention, while information style and platforms listed developed conventions. Overall, synergy between products and an earth tone color scheme linked the promotional package within conventions.

The document discusses how the media product follows conventions of the indie music genre. It investigates forms of existing indie music videos and applies them, including choosing a narrative structure common in indie videos. Elements like costumes, locations, editing and lack of effects emulate typical indie genre conventions. While some conventions are followed, others are challenged, like avoiding common negative youth stereotypes in the portrayal of the characters. The overall design of the album and advertisements also conform to conventions like minimalist layouts in font choice and information included.
Evaluation question 1.
The music video uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real music videos. It is based on a cover of "Toxic" by Yael Naim that portrays more emotion than the original. The video emphasizes the depressive lyrics through close-ups of the actor's expressions. It tells a story of being trapped in a toxic love through a narrative set entirely in a bedroom. The video challenges conventions by being entirely black and white to draw attention to the actor's face, and develops conventions through its editing that connects to the song. The digipak includes images of the artist as most do, with a striking front cover photo and credits. The inside contains more photos of the artist to surprise viewers. The magazine ad keeps elements
Question 1
The media product challenges conventions of real music magazines by using an edgy font inspired by Kerrang magazine for the title. Images in the magazine follow conventions of the hardcore genre by including tough poses and studio shots without props. The language uses colloquial terms to appeal to the target audience and references "us" to connect with readers. Overall, the front cover, contents page, and double page spread lay out text and images consistently with conventions of music magazines.
Evaluation plan and script- hannah constantine
Hannah used various media technologies throughout the process of creating a music video and ancillary texts. In the planning stage, she researched conventions by analyzing music videos on YouTube. She storyboarded her idea on an online tool. For filming, she used two cameras and lighting. Editing was done in Adobe Premiere Pro, including color correction and transitions. Ancillary texts were designed using Photoshop and online editors. Evaluation included a written script, recorded audio, and evaluation videos edited in Premiere and added to her blog.
Question 1 evaluation
The document discusses how the media product uses and challenges conventions of real media. It uses Goodwin's principles to evaluate if it reflects a real media product. Key elements included are:
1) Using a concept-based genre (sweets) to constantly alert the audience and create meaning.
2) Including narrative to enhance originality while still relating to the dance/alternative genre.
3) Matching visuals to music beats rather than lyrics since lyrics were obscured.
4) Using a consistent sweet container image motif to create identity and transferable elements across media products.

Evaluation 2
The combination of the main music video product and ancillary tasks (magazine poster and digipak) was effective because they created a unified representation of the music artist. All three products used similar styles, colors, locations and outfits to clearly link them together and promote the artist consistently to their target teenage girl audience. Pink was a prominent color used to represent the girly artist across all products. Facial expressions, clothing and settings were also kept consistent to connect the music video to the print materials.

[1] Technologies like Mini DV cameras, iMac computers and editing software like Final Cut Express were used to film and edit footage. [2] Online resources like Google, YouTube and Tumblr as well as MS Word and PowerPoint were used for research, planning presentations, and arranging notes. [3] Blogger, MS PowerPoint and Word were also used to evaluate the project in different formats.
Audience feedback
The document contains audience feedback on a creative project. Feedback indicates that the project may appeal to a wider audience beyond students. While the original idea is seen as clever and realistic, concerns are raised about the logistics of using lights in a woodland setting and whether the project sounds fully achievable with college equipment. Overall, most of the project is seen as realistic except for the lighting aspects in a forest location.
Evaluation question 2 (blog post)
Sam Jenkins discusses the design elements of various marketing materials for an indie musician. He chose a green color scheme and nature photography to represent the genre. Based on audience feedback, he changed the text color from blue to white and adjusted brightness levels. He used two fonts, Wizard Magic and Alice in Wonderland, to maintain coherency across products. Natural lighting was used in a music video to achieve a naturalistic feel. Magazine ads in Rolling Stone and NME were created to promote the album. Costumes for the music video matched indie fashion styles. Overall, audience feedback on the marketing materials was positive.

Overall, most of the project is seen as realistic apart from the lighting aspects in a forest location.
Pitch
The music video pitch proposes a concept about a person whose life feels dull and repetitive until they break free and find happiness embracing life in the forest. It draws inspiration from Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" about detachment, Keane's "Bedshaped" about isolation, and Coldplay's "Paradise" about longing for childhood. Key elements include being free, breaking trends, nature, uniqueness. Risks include filming in woods and electrical issues. Similar bands like Arctic Monkeys convey escaping reality. Feedback from the target audience will assess suitability and feasibility.

Evaluation question 2 (blog post)
- 1. Sam Jenkins
- 2. Colour I have tried to keep my colour scheme as green as possible through my photos this ties in well with the nature side of the Indie genre. I felt that blue text would work well with this colour scheme but I was wrong, all my audience feedback after the first post of the digi pack suggested that I should change the colour to a lighter one, so I chose white. And changed all the text to keep up coherency. I used a green, yellow and blue colour scheme to represent nature and all its natural beauty, my audience said this worked very well because they could tell this was for an indie genre
- 3. Font Type and Size I used a website known as Dafont .com to source my fonts, I couldn’t download them properly so instead I print screened them and edited the colour in Photoshop. I chose a number of different fonts for trials but in the end I settled on this one The font type I used is called Wizard Magic and is around size 110 I used this font to make my brand coherency, allowing the audience to know that a product is by George Barnett
- 4. Fonts continued... I also used a font known as Alice in wonderland for the numbers of my track list. this was because the text looks very similar and ties in with the Indie, niche theme that would appeal to my target audience. Here is a sample of the two fonts on my track list, Wizards magic for the text and Alice in wonderland for the numbers. I kept the continuation of coherency by using the same fonts on my magazine advert , and also by using a very green photo to match those in my digi pack.
- 5. Visual themes The visual theme of my products all follow the same theme that I call “getting back to nature” I achieved this by using different photos of nature with sunlight and a mix of vibrant greens and blues. This signifies the indie fans love of nature.
- 6. Posture and proxemics As we had only one actor in our video no proxemics were needed. However in terms of posture (downward facing head with a neutral facial expression and slumped shoulders)we could tell that he was depressed and looking for something but we don’t know what.
- 7. Lighting We didn’t need to use any artificial lighting to create our video partly because we wanted to follow the theme of “getting back to nature” In almost all of our shots we’ve used natural light. The audience feedback says that this is effective because it makes the video more naturalistic .
- 8. Magazine advert By creating my magazine advert I was able to promote the album and my chosen artist. Through using popular music magazines as rolling stone and NME I felt it would give my audience something to expect.
- 9. Magazine advert continued... The reason I gave the rating of four stars from each magazine was because of audience feedback. It was suggested to me that I should add another star to rolling stone’s rating for continuity and also because 3 stars are nothing to boast about.
- 10. Costume For the costume of our actor we wanted to match the Indie fashion style, this includes skinny jeans or chinos, woollen tops and unique hats and scarf's However we did want to keep things simple due to lack of budget. In order to do this our actor was dressed in dark yellow chinos, a white jumper,woolen, multi coloured scarf and a navy blue coat. Here are some examples of Indie fan clothing.
- 11. Audience thoughts Once I had posted my products onto my face book group I had a great deal of positive feedback Most people thought the colours of my pictures went well with the colour and style of text. Others said that the brightness of the pictures needed adjusting or another image was needed but on the whole my products were very high quality.
