Our Video
Here is our final video. It features a character wearing a horse mask, in which nobody knows who it under it appearing in various locations. The story is that even though they may be wearing a horse mask which makes them different they are still happy. The video is fun and uplifting and we hope it makes people laugh and feel good about themselves.
Digi- Pak
Here is our final digi-pak design.
We have chosen soft colours, to make the vibrant ones stand out. For example on the front cover the background is beige whereas the horses mane is a vibrant orange. We did this because it cleverly reinforces not only the name of the CD but also of the track. Also on the front cover is the horse looking slightly upwards. This was to reiterate the importance of the mask and being different. The name on the front cover is clear and easy to read, this was important because everybody needs to know who the artist is and what the album is called. This is one of the main connotations of a CD cover. The back cover features the main aspects of any digi-pak: the track list, which are all horse-related, the bar code and a bar code for phones. this is a good feature of the digi-pak because it shows the DJ Concord is up to date with all technology. Also within the copyright, labels of the music producer it includes our Twitter name and Facebook page, this also shows that DJ Concord is up-to-date. Moving on to the inner pages, the first one is of a picture of the mask shouting and around it is different ratings. This is because from our research we found that some artists include what magazines, radio presenters thought of their album. It shows that they are a valued artist and have a good name. It also exposes the artist even more if other people have looked at their work- they are more likely to play the tracks. We also included a message to the fans. This is a nice touch as it shows the DJ values the fans and appreciates them. This then might make them go out and buy more of the merchandise. The next section is where the CD will be. The picture is just of the character relaxing. It is a simple photo which matches the theme throughout the digi-pak's style. Finally there is a thankyou page which many artists have used, just to thank everyone who has helped them. Within our digi-pak we have ticked many of the conventions, such as a bar code. This is important as every digi-pak needs one.
Advert
After researching into different adverts, I found that many adverts were simple with limited colour- I took this in account when designing the advert. Here is my finished design:

Rough Cut
Here is our rough cut of our final video.
We received a range of feedback from our rough cut through a questionnaire. For example someone replied saying that our video did not include enough effort when dancing. To overcome this when editing I decided to use the best clips where the dancing was to a good standard of effort. If this wasn't possible I cut down the clips so it wasn't as obvious. Another comment was that they liked the colour correction and they wanted to see more of it, so I included more throughout the final version of the video.

Shot List
Here is a rough copy of what shots we took, it includes the date of the shot and the duration, I also included a brief description of what the shot was, this makes it easier for the shot to be identified when it comes to editing. A shot lists is used to help you consider shooting footage based on location and setup; not necessarily in the order of the story, this means when the editing process is started it makes it easier to see what shots you have.
