Production Plan
Bellow is the planned schedules for filming and editing before the first edit deadline on Friday 12th October 2012
Project Proposal
Bellow is a mind map showing my project proposal focusing on some of the main aspects starting the thought process
This is the track we are using
its is called "What ya got for me" and was produced by signum
Signum is the name for two European producers, Pascal Minnaard and Ronald Hagen hey are producers who create and remix mainly trance music.
Their first notable mainstream success was in 1997 with "What Ya Got 4 Me" (released on the Jinx record label), becoming a club anthem.
This song “ What ya got for me” displays all the great needs of a true trance track, it constantly keeps the beat going and has the capacity to get the whole crowd going. The track dips and builds a few times giving excellent scope in the design of the video allowing the tension to build and the drama to add for the audience.

Target Audience
The target audience for Signum are club goers and people who have a love and a passion for classic trance anthems, this audience can have a range of people in it ranging from 18 year olds to 30+ year olds as most trance/ dance music doesn’t age and can be played in clubs for decades as it all keeps to the same motif.This song “ What ya got for me” displays all the great needs of a true trance track, it constantly keeps the beat going and has the capacity to get the whole crowd going.

This
digipak is an album called flemenco which is another club album, this
digipak is a one fold design with the interior containing one side for the
plastic disk tray and the other for a graphic. the back contains the
albums track listing also information regarding copy right and the bar
code. the cd in side retains a graphic translated from other artworks in
the digipak, the whole digipak sticks with the red and white look keeping
the design minimal unlike the cafe del mar digipak which uses a lot of images.
On the front the main title grabs
your attention as it’s in a crisp white on a red strip also using a bold clear
font, other text on the rear is well colour coordinated with artist of songs
being labelled in orange keeping the same theme from the artwork

Digipak Research - Cafe del Mar
Digipak Research - Cafe del Mar
This
digipak is an cafe del mar album which is a club genre of music, it think
this is why it incorporates the se of the bright blues and different
tones, the inside covers show pictures of the inside of a traditional Spanish
camp which links back to the dj’ s stage name. On the inside is a plastic
tray for the cd and on the adjacent page is the track listings, the
designers chose a clear plastic cd holder so the art work is still
visible.
The images on the digipak are slightly distorted as if you are looking at them from a fly’s point of view with the image being bowed out in the centre. The design is very aesthetically pleasing due to the use of blues well mixed together.
This digipak is a3 fold design folding out to reveal the cd in the centre of the 3 panel's.

What is a Digi Pack
What is a Digipak
Digipaks typically consist of a book style paperboard or card outer binding with one or more plastic trays inside for holding the cd.
Digipak style packaging was often used or CD singles or special edition albums as it is cheaper to produce, Digipaks also show signs of wearing more as they don’t have a hard exterior.
Manufactures of Digipaks have now made the design more environmentally friendly by using PET plastic trays which can be recycled, or in some cases removing the need for a try and just using a paper wallet making the whole digipak recyclable.
Cd Digipaks are now especially popular in the music industry for not only special editions but cd albums or multiple cd disc sets like the ministry of sound 2012 anthems album. Digipaks provide a low cost professional and expensive look and feel especially when designed with well-produced art work and specialist print finishes such as spot varnishing, matt lamination or embossing.
Digipaks were first created by Meadwestvaco and digipak became traded marked to them, however the format became more popular and began to be used by other manufactures and so the generic digipak is now used to describe all soft cd packaging.

Magazine Advert Research - Arctic Monkeys
Magazine Advert Research - Arctic Monkeys
This Magazine advert is for the Humbug album replaced in June 2011.
This advert has a strong influence from the main image in the centre of the advert which contains outlines of all four band members faces to create one rounded shape, in the centre of this image is the band name which is in the Arctic monkeys style font. He advert does not use a wide range of colours, the background colour is a brownish yellow which is two toned on the page from top to bottom.
The fonts on the page also do not use bright colours and have been created in a barker colour than the background to emphasise them from a distance grabbing the audience’s attention, the largest text on the page is the album title firstly grabbing the users attention under this is it states "the album" as the advert does not contain any other information to suggest it’s an album.
this advert is very minimalistic and could suggest the use of the Nagus theory "a naturalistic approach to artist"
this could suggest that the Arctic monkeys are what Nagus refers to as organic artist that don't emphasise on album sales and focus more on their music, this only implied due to the minimalistic advert which lacks information compared to the arcade fire advert.

This
Magazine advert is for the Scenes from the suburbs album released in June
2011.
This advert has a strong influence from the main image in the centre of the advert which contains a mid-shot of a teenage character in a suburb location; the back ground has been pushed out of focus to change the audience’s point of focus to the teenager in the image.
The advert contains and image of the album cover to show the audience what the cover looks like making purchasing the album easy for the consumer as they will subconsusly have an image of the album in their heads.
This advert uses bright colours in the image backed on a plain grey/brown background with red and black text; this helps the bright coloured image attract the audience’s attention.
The use of the large font on the replace date allows the audience to clearly see the replace date; this helps the date stay with the customer. As its one of the largest fonts on the advert other fonts are smaller as they contain other information which is not regarded as initially important information for the customer at first glance.
At the top of the page is a q magazine review which is very obvious to the audience when first viewing the advert this gives the audience a good impression of the album before reading other details, as the magazine that quotes is a well-established and well know publisher.
Music Video Review - Foo fighters
This music video is in the alternative rock genre,
and was directed by Sam Brown, it is presented in letterbox format and heavily
uses pans, zooms and tracking shots.
From the start the music creates and intense feel with the use of orchestra also emphasised by the dark warehouse set. When the other 3 members join the lead singer the edit changes from being slow and long edits with long shots to becoming fast strait edits as soon as the drums kick in for the first time, the camera shot now have changed to being close ups of members or long sweeping shots with the camera getting closer to the members, none of the shot are no still all most every shot has a movement in it to build up the excitement along with the music till the climax of the chorus.
When the chorus kicks a dark dressed character appears form the darkness on the opposite side of the Waterhouse, there is then a series of close up shots from the dark character face to the lead singers face ad they are both facing each other, this uses the 180 rule as the camera is using 180 degrees to create the feel of the audience being placed in the centre of the two.
This section the first chorus links the song to the video as it implies the dark character is the pretender (the name of the track) this fact is reinforced when more dark figures appear which are identical to each other but not the same as the original character.
at 3:17 the track slows down before the chorus kicks again, at this point the dark characters now viable as riot police start to charge for the band this is played in slow motion as the track has slowed showing the calmness of the band before the riot police reach them, then at 3:25 the chorus hits and the red screen behind the band explodes in to a cloud of red water which is also in slow motion to emphasise the effect.
after this point all footage is blurred but you can make out the outline of band members as they stand strong as you can see all the police falling over in the rush were as the band stand strong, the track then ends with a close up of the lead as the water stops and he falls to the ground.

This video uses Steve archers 5th theory behind the
technical aspect of a video, mainly the meat point "lots of close ups of
the artists face. the video also uses his light theory "used to create
drama" which is achieved in the video as one side is white light possibly
representing good and the other is dark possibly representing bad.
Music Video Review - Muse
This video is in rock/ pop format and was directed by
joseph khan.
This Muse video partly uses the nonlinear narrative as aspects of the music’s lyrics are reflected in the video for example the lyrics at 4:05 "you and I must fight to survive" at this point the main character is stranded in the desert, the camera then zooms out from a mid-shot to reveal a skeleton being picked at by a vulture.
This music video follows Pete Frasers point on camera work "close up is prominent because it creates intensity for the viewer" this video achieves this as there are a selection of close ups in the video which change to other close up shots with short strait cuts to create tension and atmosphere.
This video uses one of Steve archers theory's which is Dis-juncture "Radical, used by arty bands, music videos often make no sense" this music video is very fragmented as the story or period is almost non-existent as the video combines a selection of eras mainly focusing on westerns with the modern futuristic twist and the use of various film genres like martial arts and action, this allows the audience to partially make up some of the narrative making the video more interesting.
This music video uses a combination of editing techniques, the main one is the strait cut to create a fast narrative but they also use fade to allow one shot to be playing then playing a secondary shot over the top this allows the narrative to take place in more than one location as the audience get a feel for both locations an example of this is at 1:35 when the main narrative is taking place in the town of crodonia were as the secondary narrative is the band playing he track in a different location.
The video uses slow motion well at 1:45 in the track to emphasise the main characters martial arts skills when defeating several attackers which is helped by the variety of shots used changing from close up to mid shot to show all of the action.
The music video has an essence of comedy as it follows the standard narrative for a western but over exaggerates the main aspects that we associate with westerns. The main points of westerns are good guy meets girl they fall out, then fall in love with each other, then as good guy has been killing the bad guy’s henchmen the bad guy captures good guy’s girl and puts good guy in the desert. After all this just as the bad guy is about to kill the good guys girl the good guy returns from no were after having an epiphany in the desert then all ends with bad guy dying and good guy with girl riding off in to the distance.
This is how this music video plays out just certain aspects have been exaggerated more than in the westerns and changed to create comedy for the audience as everyone knows in westerns are overly dramatic.
