Social media links are important for communicating with fans and following the band's activities.
My aim was to effectively promote an artist using a combination of media. A music video, digipak, and website were created with consistent branding through a shared color scheme, logo, and photographic style. Links between the products help them promote each other, such as the website advertising a competition that can be entered by purchasing the digipak. While these ancillary texts and the main product are effective together, QR codes could have been added to further strengthen the connections between the digipak and online content like the music video and website.

The document provides a detailed evaluation of how the student's media products for an indie artist conform to and challenge conventions of the genre. It summarizes how the music video uses typical indie settings, costumes, and a mix of narrative and performance shots in the editing. The digipak and website also follow conventions seen in other indie artists' products like album layout, merchandise, and opportunities to engage with the artist online. Some elements like effects usage and emphasis on settings over closeups challenge expectations to develop the genre's conventions.
This document is titled "Website Printscreens" and appears to be about screenshots of a website created by Brontë Vickery. It likely contains images of different pages from a website designed by Brontë Vickery to showcase her work. The document may serve as a portfolio piece to demonstrate Brontë Vickery's skills in web design and development.
This document outlines plans for an artist website for Brontë Vickery. The website will showcase Vickery's paintings and drawings, provide information about her artistic style and background. It will also allow customers to view and purchase her artwork online.
This document outlines the design for a digipak containing a booklet. It lists the front and back exterior covers, 3 interior pages, and a cut-out on the first interior page to hold a 20-page booklet with front and back covers stored inside. In total, the digipak and interior booklet contain over 30 individual page designs.
This equipment checklist includes items needed for a photo and video shoot such as a video camera, digital camera, tripod, outfits, props like dishes and books, shot plans, makeup, refreshments, and mobile phones. The digital camera can also record video as a backup if there are issues with the main video camera, though the quality will be lower. Extra clothing is included for variation in the photographs.
The logo uses a bold, clear font that is either all capitalized or with just the first letter capitalized to make it stand out. Common features include separating the band name into different lines, levels or with punctuation to sustain audience attention as they read it. Logos are usually simple, high contrast designs that can effectively translate to different colors.
The document provides an analysis of various album covers and their design elements. It discusses aspects like the placement and prominence of the artist and album names, the use of images, colors, fonts and other graphical elements. Specific covers analyzed include albums by Bombay Bicycle Club, Ben Howard, Haim, Two Door Cinema Club, Laura Marling and others. Key design techniques highlighted are the use of vintage styles, simple yet eye-catching layouts, and photos or illustrations that draw attention while representing the artist's brand.
- The majority of people surveyed enjoy watching music videos and see them as an effective promotion tool for songs.
- The most popular music genres are pop, R&B, indie, dance, and rock. Choosing a song that blends a mainstream genre like pop with a niche genre could appeal to a wide audience.
- Most people prefer seeing the artist in the music video as it helps them connect the video to the song. Up-and-coming artists should focus on becoming known through their own appearance in videos.
- Storylines, humor, dancing, and multiple locations in a video increase audience enjoyment, while overcomplicated elements or those that distract from the song should be avoided.
- While
Bicycles are permitted in some areas as shown in the location photos. However, after a certain point, bicycles are no longer allowed as indicated in the photos. The document shares photos of locations where bicycles can and cannot be ridden.
This equipment checklist contains items needed for a video shoot including a video camera, tripod, two outfits in different colors, a bike, and small props like dishes, bills, workbooks and folders. Shot plans are also included for reference during filming.
The document discusses three types of music videos: performance videos focus on the artist singing and playing instruments; illustrative videos literally depict the song lyrics on screen to clearly present their meaning; and interpretive/disjunctive videos explore the connotations of lyrics through abstract or complex cinematic narratives that allow audiences to form their own interpretations.

The document discusses how to stay focused while working remotely. It suggests limiting distractions by closing unnecessary programs and notifications, and designating a specific space just for work to separate it from other activities. Minimizing distractions helps remote workers focus on the tasks at hand and be more productive.
This document appears to be about working remotely via video conferencing software. It includes instructions for camera angles during a video call, focusing on work and using a mid-shot camera view. There is also a mention of cutting away the video feed to show the sky.
The document provides an analysis of music videos by Rihanna, Beyoncé, and Lady Gaga. It examines the technical elements of the videos including lighting, editing, costumes, camerawork, and mise-en-scene. Specific techniques are highlighted such as the use of fast cuts, close-ups, lighting effects, and unusual settings to engage audiences and reinforce the artists' images and song themes.
The document analyzes the camera work in the music video "Lines" by Lucy Rose. It discusses the various shots used, including establishing shots, extreme close-ups, close-ups, mid shots, long shots, high angle shots, low angle shots, over the shoulder shots, cut away shots, ground level shots, tracking shots, and shots with varied depth of field. These different shots are used to set the scene, draw attention to the artist, allow the audience to view details and context, add interest and variation, emphasize the artist's importance, and create a dream-like effect.
The video represents Lucy Rose in a strong, dominant manner through various camera techniques, editing, and mise-en-scène elements. She is frequently framed in close-ups at the center of shots to portray her as important and heroic. Her aggressive character is emphasized through direct address and violence portrayed in slow motion. Lucy is dressed masculinely on a large quad bike, participating in typically male activities to challenge gender norms and portray herself as down-to-earth and adventurous.
Jake Nava is an example of an auteur music video director. His videos for "Crazy in Love" and "My Prerogative" share many similarities that reflect his artistic vision. Both videos feature extreme close-ups, sexualized imagery of the artists, scenes using cars and their destruction, use of lighting for drama, dance routines, inclusion of other actors, urban settings, and editing techniques like fast cuts and slow motion. When creating his own music video, the student will need to consider theories around audience effects, gratification, and narratives to effectively convey the song's meaning.
The document summarizes the results of a survey about music videos. The survey found that most people enjoy watching music videos and think they are an effective way to promote songs. Pop music and R&B were the most popular genres among respondents. Most respondents preferred videos that featured the artist and told a story. Humor was also popular but seen as difficult to do well. Dancing was enjoyed while action scenes and overly complicated videos were less favored. Music videos were seen as promotional but not essential to enjoying the song.

heart, linking to the valentine’s theme.
