Media evaluation!!
The document provides an evaluation by Darryl Wardle of his group's music video project for their coursework. Some key points:
- Their music video for the Arctic Monkeys song "When the Sun Goes Down" took a narrative approach rather than just being a performance, challenging the conventions of typical Kings of Leon music videos.
- Feedback on their video was mostly positive, praising the lip syncing but suggesting reducing unnecessary scenes.
- Their black and white album cover design received praise for emphasizing the actor's loneliness but also some criticism for not matching Kings of Leon's style.
- Various technologies like YouTube, Facebook, smartphones, and Photoshop were used at different stages of
Ancillary tasks
The document describes the process of designing an album cover and print advertisement for a fictional Beyoncé album. Key details include:
- Researching Beyoncé's existing album covers for inspiration, noticing her use of close-up front covers and longer shots on the back.
- Creating a first draft album cover design that was deemed too busy, then redesigning with softer colors based on feedback.
- Designing three print advertisement concepts and getting feedback from a target audience, who selected the first design as their favorite.
- Drawing inspiration from Rihanna and Adele ads, such as using the album front cover and a faded red block on the selected print ad design.
Evaluation 2
The combination of the music video, digipak, and advert poster effectively promote the artist and his music. The music video tells the story of Peter Pan through references to the artist's song lyrics. The digipak cover features the same sky and Peter Pan silhouette image as the video to visually connect the products. Images of nature on the digipak also relate to the folk genre and video. The advert poster incorporates the digipak cover image along with information on downloading music and the song title from the video. Together, the consistent themes and design across the products represent the artist and appeal to fans.

Evaluation 1
The document discusses three media products created for a music artist: a digipack, music advert, and music video.
For the digipack, conventions like centering the artist image and including contact information were followed, while the font and colors were made unique. Inspiration was drawn from Drake, J. Cole, and Paigey Cakey. The music advert centered the artist and included reviews, pre-order options, and social media links. Rihanna's ads provided inspiration. The music video incorporated performance and narrative elements like Rihanna and Drake's videos using available props and costumes. Shots and editing styles from other artists were adapted to keep engagement.
Production diary 19
The production diary discusses plans for creating an intro sequence for a music video. Shots of the artist walking along the beach will be used from unused footage. A simple background shot of the beach and sea will be included. A piano karaoke version of the original song will introduce the remixed song in the style of Lady Gaga's "Telephone" music video, using location shots and typography to introduce the production company, artist, and song name. Feedback on an early draft posted to a new Facebook page for the artist was mostly positive, with one comment suggesting adding more filters.
Print products
This document analyzes the conventions used in designing a digipak for a pop song. Some conventions discussed include using consistent colors, themes and images of the artist throughout the digipak. While the front cover and lyric booklet typically feature the artist, only including the artist on the front cover subverts this convention. Real pop digipaks are also analyzed for conventions like bold colors and images that make statements. While conventions like listing songs and including copyright info are followed, some elements are subverted, like not using close-up shots of the female artist that conform to male gazes.
Evaluation digipak and poster
The document discusses how the media producer's music video, digipak, and poster for the artist "Pandaman" used, developed, and challenged conventions of real music products. The producer researched conventions for music videos, posters, and digipaks to incorporate standard elements. For the poster and digipak, conventions like the artist's name and album title were used. Genre conventions of bright colors for house music were developed further for the poster but challenged with a darker style for the digipak. Throughout, a panda was featured to promote the artist known as "Pandaman".
Evaluation question 3 (Pt1)
Winnie gathered feedback from her target audience of young girls aged 13-19 through a questionnaire to learn they enjoy pop music and social media. She narrowed her song choice to 3 options and had members of her target audience choose Alexis Jordan's "How you like me now". Winnie developed 4 concept ideas and had her target audience provide feedback, choosing the house location idea as it fit the song lyrics well and they could visualize it.
Digipack final
This document discusses the design choices for the front and back covers, inside cover, and CD for an indie pop album. Photos were taken in Abney Park and edited with purple filters in Photoshop to create a cohesive aesthetic. The front cover features a mid-shot of the actress to show her trendy clothes. Fonts and positioning of text were chosen so the artist's name is the most prominent. The inside cover has a symbolic heart image reflecting the album's theme of love. Photos on the CD and back cover continue the purple-filtered theme across all aspects of the packaging.
Analysis of a range of album release posters
The poster depicts Eminem sitting on a chair on a dark stage behind curtains, looking pensive with a spotlight on a microphone in front of him. This creates intrigue about what is on his mind and why he is not performing as expected, generating questions that can only be answered by listening to the album. Produced by Dr. Dre, it includes the popular single "Without Me", appealing to fans of both artists and those wanting the single. The large font, imagery, and production credit by Dr. Dre aim to build hype and draw the audience into Eminem's world to learn what he is thinking through his new album.
Question 1
The music video challenges some conventions of the hip hop and soul genres through its themes of drugs, pills, and suicide attempts. The artist is the main character, acting out the lyrics of the song and connecting with the audience, as is typical in hip hop videos. However, the location of a bedroom is less expected than a club, street, or car. Iconography of medication and a bible are used to further the narrative in unconventional ways for an R&B video. Cinematography, editing, lighting, color, and close-ups are employed to match the song and elicit emotion from the audience, drawing from theories about music videos and artists' public images.
Digipak – used, developed and challenged conventions
The document discusses how the digipak design used, developed, and challenged conventions. It used an eye-level shot of the artist to draw the audience in. It challenged the concept of a close-up face shot by using a mid-shot action pose. It developed the idea of different font sizes for the artist and album names from Ellie Goulding's design. It also challenged conventions by designing the CD to look like a vinyl record fitting its art pop theme.
Music video evaluation 1
The music video aims to challenge conventions of the UK rap genre by incorporating a narrative element not commonly seen. Scenes progress the artist's story from the streets to the studio to a concert. While including typical performance shots, unconventional narrative shots are used to widen the audience by resembling videos from other genres like pop. The video balances adhering to genre conventions with pushing boundaries to make UK rap more mainstream.
Q2 of evaluation media a2
The combination of the artist's main products and ancillary texts was ultimately effective in creating brand consistency and identity. A color and font motif was established to link all the products, including the digipak, website, and music video. The color red was chosen as the motif to represent passion and individuality. The font "Lobster" was selected for the website to suit the artist's persona. While initial plans for the music video differed, condensing the artist's scenes clarified the message. Overall, the binding elements of color and font across all products enabled audience recognition of the artist and appeal to the target demographic.
Style sheet
This document outlines the style sheet for a magazine front cover focused on the R&B music genre. It discusses using a grey scale color scheme to match the sophisticated and seductive feeling of black, grey, and white images commonly found representing R&B singers. Choosing these colors in grey scale for the images, text, and background along with a black masthead is meant to reflect the mood of the R&B music while appealing to the target 16+ demographic.
Our made record label
Our record label is called Double Up Records. The name is meant to be controversial like hip-hop and R&B music. We will appeal to a narrow age range of 13-22 year olds, mainly targeting one gender. Our artist is not yet well known. As a niche label, we will use guerrilla promotional strategies like posters, free concerts, taxi and billboard ads, and web/radio advertisements to promote our starting artist.

Analysis of Previous Student Work
This student analyzed previous work by other students, including a digipak and website for a musician named Haze.
The digipak followed conventions by featuring the artist's image and name prominently. It used consistent fonts and a pink color scheme. The website also used standard elements like menus, images, videos and social media links. It replicated the fonts and color scheme from the digipak. Both pieces featured graphics that were likely used in Haze's music videos for synergistic promotion.
Evaluation Question 2
The student created a music video, website, and CD cover to promote the band Noah and the Whale. The website used similar colors and fonts as the video to create branding consistency. The CD cover also featured these colors but with modified logo placement. Feedback showed the video successfully captured the indie style. Overall, the ancillary texts complemented the video and helped promote the band across multiple platforms through an integrated marketing strategy.
Presentation2
The student created a music magazine that they felt was more professional than their previous college magazine. They analyzed other hip hop magazines more thoroughly, taking time to research and plan effectively. They learned that little details like font, image placement, and color tones can significantly impact the overall quality. Their music magazine had a more professionally edited front cover, better structured contents page, and clearly laid out double page spread compared to the college magazine.
Double Spread Page
The document discusses the design choices made for a music magazine project. It was inspired by magazines like VIBE in terms of layout, fonts, and photos focusing on a single model. Photos were taken against plain backgrounds and edited to look more professional. Costumes and props were used to portray wealth as seen in other music magazines. The genre of R&B is represented through formal language, seductive photos, and fashion elements. The layout follows magazine conventions while making adaptations to make it unique.
Re-Construction of my Magazine
The document summarizes changes made to improve the design of a new R&B music magazine. The cover was changed from too colorful to primarily red to reflect the genre. The magazine name was changed from "Lemz" to "Flame" to better capture the R&B vibe. Fonts and layouts were standardized across pages for consistency. Photographs were adjusted for quality and to better represent the targeted audience and R&B style. Colors, fonts, and elements were limited for cleaner designs that remain appealing yet consistent throughout the magazine.
Contents amended
This document contains a plan for a photoshoot with various models. It lists the models, types of shots, lighting details, editing notes, and intended connotations for each shot. It also includes selections for images on the contents page of a magazine with notes on why each photo was chosen. Further sections include details on font and color scheme choices, editing done to the photos, and how the contents page was designed on Photoshop. Feedback is provided and notes on changes made in response.
Convetions evaluation 1
This document discusses conventions in media products and how the author's media product challenges conventions of the British hip hop genre.
Some key conventions of British hip hop include lip syncing to convey emotion, using natural lighting and locations like graffiti walls. The author's product conforms to these conventions to clearly communicate the genre.
However, the author also challenges conventions by avoiding displays of wealth, using varied camera angles beyond low shots, and prioritizing realistic and humble portrayals over performances emphasizing power or control. This challenges superficial conventions while maintaining the message-driven nature of the genre.
Q7
The document reflects on improvements made from a preliminary magazine layout task to a final music magazine layout. Key improvements included using more colors, additional images, a masthead, varied image poses, and better positioning of text and images informed by research of other magazines. Photoshop skills to edit images were also improved. Feedback helped reduce overcrowding of text and images. Overall, the music magazine layout demonstrated more professional conventions and composition compared to the preliminary task.
How did you attract an audience?
The document discusses how imagery, text, and color were used to attract the intended audience for an electronic music magazine. For imagery, photos were taken at concerts and of DJ equipment to engage readers interested in genres like drum and bass. Photos were edited with techniques like depth of field and composite backgrounds. Fonts like Bauhaus 93 and Eris Bold ITC were used for text to look modern. Color schemes of purple, black, white and yellow were chosen to represent the electronic music genre and emulate club/festival lighting styles. Together these visual elements aimed to attract younger audiences by accurately representing the electronic music scene.
Final piece2
Michal Cuninka is designing a poster and CD cover for an upcoming grime artist called The Unknown. They are exploring concepts like urban areas and graffiti walls. Key influences are graphic designers Roberto Blake, Tess Hulme, Rowan Pervis, and Nick Purser who inspire Michal's experimentations with light effects, typography, and collage techniques. Their final piece combines a futuristic pixilated title with urban elements to advertise the album release.
Music Magazine Audience Feedback And Evaluation2
The document summarizes a music magazine aimed at 16-30 year olds, mostly male audiences interested in dance music. The magazine uses a black and white color scheme with bright accents to be eye-catching. Photographs feature musicians within the target demographic and articles focus solely on music content. Feedback was mostly positive though some noted the front cover could be more dynamic. Throughout the project, the creator learned Photoshop techniques and feels they created a magazine that kept a simple, consistent style while following industry conventions.
Textual analysis website 1
This website uses minimalist design with a crimson and magnolia color scheme. The homepage features the album cover and options to listen or learn more about the artist. Navigation links allow access to music videos, tour dates, merchandise, and news. Images and videos throughout make the site engaging. A cursive font reflects the handwritten album title and personal nature of the record.
Features page pitch to an audience
The document describes the layout and design choices for a features page in a music magazine. It focuses on featuring a new acoustic artist through a Q&A interview style piece. Key design elements include using the magazine's house colors of red and blue, with more blue to match the male artist. Text is laid out in two columns and short paragraphs to encourage reading. A mixture of serif and sans serif fonts add visual interest while appealing to both male and female readers. Photos include casual, posed shots to give a behind-the-scenes feel alongside more polished images.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

Student Work Analysis
- 1. Analysis of Student Website and Advert By Jhean Capitan
- 2. Website
- 3. ause I thought it was a good example for what to include in my own website. It also includes the c Streaming Options Artist Name in bold Recent Projects Social Media links Tour dates
- 4. Images • The use of images within this website is vast as the website also includes a photo gallery that has numerous photos within it. As well as this, the photos within the photo gallery go hand in hand with the website as they follow similar colour schemes. • However, the photos used on the ‘About’ page seem to break the colour scheme of the website.
- 5. Colour • The use of colour in the website is very consistent, sticking to purple, pink and blue which works very well as the first image presented on the website is an image of an album that follows the same colour scheme. The colour suggests that the artist the website is for is a very colourful artist and makes playful pop music as the colours have very playful connotations.
