Alterations to Digi Pack

After reading my thank you note on the inside sleeve I think it lacks character and does not portray the persona of my artist at all. In order to gain inspiration before creating a new one I will watch interviews and read blog/website posts from the artists Lana Del Rey and Marina and the Diamonds, to discover how there personality comes across through their writing.






I watched this interview from Lana Del Rey. As she speaks about her music and fans it is apparent just how much passion and love she has for both. She speaks of her inspiration, and how she wanted to be a singer at a young age. Comparing my original thank you letter I definitely feel that it lacks character, and needs to have more personal views.

Original thank you note: 

I would like to express my gratitude for everyone that made this album become more than just a dream. The support from relatives and friends definitely gave me the confidence to both write and produce this album. I would also like to thank my fans from the bottom of my heart. I will never be able to express in words just how much you all mean to me.

New thank you note: 

I would like to express my gratitude for everyone who has made this dream a
reality. Writing was always my ultimate passion from an early age and I still find it unbeiliveable just how heartwarming the responses I get are. I will never be able to express in words just how grateful I am to each and every one of you, but I would just like to say thank you.

Digi pack so far

After thinking I was pleased with the outcome of my digi pack I decided to alter the font style and rearrange the text on my poster. Rather than using a cursive font which I had downloaded, 'Great Vibes' I have chosen to now use 'Hatteshweiler'. I believe that this font is more eye catching, which will attract the attention of potential buyers. My next step is to ask my lecturer for her feedback so slightly alterations can be made.

Inspirational video

Lana Del Rey - Carmen
This video is one of my main inspirations. I love how there is an array of diverse clips collaborated together to tell a story, an idea I am definitely adopting in my own video. I also love the different styles of editing used, thus I have decided that I will also use different effects as I believe that it will make my video more captivating.

Introductions used at the beginning of videos: 

I have decided to also include an introductory slide of my artists name. However, I am yet to decided on a certain font but I do know that I will contiue to use a feminim, cursive style to continue with my artists image.Rather than putting this slide when 'Teen Idle' is playing I am going to use a diverse sound. I am currently debating whether or not to use the sound of traffic, the woods(birds tweeting, leaves rustling', or to find a melody

Ideas for music video

Final shot list

Progress

I have now completed creating my digipack, however I wish to spend this lesson evaluating my work in order to see if slight alterations can be made. The next step I wish to take is to create a clear idea for what I want to shoot regarding my music video. I believe that the most effective step to take next will be to make a presentation of my ideas, so I can put the different clips into a organised storyboard.

Plan for December

The purple lines signify my two weeks holiday for Christmas. I will spend this time making sure everything on my blog is up to date and also filming/editing. I am going to London on the 30th where I will film two significant scenes for my video: being in the middle of the city and the fireworks.
