Digipack Process


Poster First and Second Cut



This is the first cut of our poster for our print artefacts. After creating this and researching into other print artefacts we had realised that there was more that needed adding to our poster. We were missing the basic essential elements that are required for an advertisement poster. However, we were satisfied with the base of the poster, this being the image, the title, and the images in the bottom right hand corner. We decided to create a second cut to add the things we were missing.





 This is the second cut of our advertisement poster. After researching what essential parts we were missing and realising that there were also some gaps to fill we decided to add some text. Down the right hand side we added some reviews from well known music based companies. We also decided to add a star rating system to indicate the popularity and quality of the album. Also, we realised that a price was essential so we added this.

Print Artefacts (Poster)

This is our poster which is part of our print artefacts. Both the CD cover and the poster have the same theme. We used green for the title itself as it fitted in with the army type theme. It says 'Little Mix' in a cloud effect with the suggestion that it has been created by the planes next to it, representing the Red Arrows which also links in with the army theme. We have several sets of text on the poster that is crucial for the advertisement of the product. One part of the text says 'OUT NOW', this is to simply show when the product is being released. We have also said that it includes other favourites, refereeing to their songs, to show the audience what else the artist has created. Another piece of text that we added is a few reviews from some companies that are well known in the music industry. This is to give the illusion of what a company might say about the album. We have also added the price to the poster as that is essential when advertising an album as the target audience need to know how much they are going to have to pay for their artist latest album. In the bottom right hand corner we have some stars which represent the rating of the album and also the logos of some apps or places that you can buy or download the album.





Print Artefacts (CD)

For out music video it was essential that we had several different print artefacts such as an advertisement poster and a CD case and cover.





This is the final edit of our CD case. It uses the theme of our music video through out it, showing this through the colours that we used. We used green for the title itself as it fitted in with the army type theme. It says 'Little Mix' in a cloud effect with the suggestion that it has been created by the planes next to it, representing the Red Arrows which also links in with the army theme. In the top left hand corner we had placed the Little Mix logo which is present on all of their CDs.







Creative Journey (Close Ups)


Creative Journey


In the salute music video there is a small speech like part where someone says a message that is very relevant to the one we are showing. We took this to our advantaged and used a close up shot of an actor reading out the short message. This was very effective as it showed some diversity in the music video of the skills and shots in which we can use.




Creative Journey (Filming the job roles scene)





For our music video of 'Salute', one of the scenes we filmed was of a women in a working environment that was stereotypical to a mans working role. We wanted to recreate this showing a woman doing it as it portrayed our message of the video well. The message being women empowerment, we had the woman fighting back against the male boss showing that she can do whatever she does to the same ability if not better.

It did not take too long to set up this scene. To create the image of a office we used the Sixth Forms green screen room. In there, there was several blue boards which we placed together to create the mirage of a office block. We then used an exam table and chair, adding other props to this such as a laptop and paper.
