Poster.

Photography: My own.
Edited: www.picnik.com

I chose to use a simple photo that didn't look over crowded with different objects etc and edited it by cha`nging the effect and adding a faded bordered edge and added a block border, i also added simple text to the poster.

I wanted my poster to look unique and different from the ones you see in magazines etc.

My stop motion video

To make my stop motion film i took pictures of each individual word in different locations around Burton, then picked just one picture for each word and then put it into movie maker.

My Video.

I found this task fun and easy to do because you could make a video with your own ideas and getting other ideas from the internet. I liked this task because i could make my own video using my own ideas.

Equipment:

• Canon EOS 1000D
• Words
• Locations

How i did my video:

Each word I had I took pictures of that word in different places around burton, by placing the word on an object, wall, floor etc and taking about 5 or 6 pictures of each word so when I got back to class I could pick 1 picture of each word.

When I found a good picture for each word, I uploaded them onto movie maker, putting them all in order with a picture of the photographer at the end. I timed ecah one so it was going slow that at the last word it word fade onto the photographer, the music I used was a piano piece to make my video look sutle.

Stop motion

This part of the assignment I am finding hard to do, even though there's a lot of good ideas on the internet, but I don't want copy what other people have done. I have a few ideas of what i would like to do, either use old Polaroid photo's from my family album, with a song playing as the picture changes.

For a test shot i have decided to use a quote by a photographer Ansel Adams; "There are always two people in the picture, the viewer and the photographer." How I'm going to do this is have each word cut out and photo each word after its been placed onto the a blank canvas (wall), i might just use the instrumental from a song without the spoken words.

Then for my final stop motion video i will use poloroid pictures from my family album and spell out different words using the photo's, i will draw out an example of how i want my stop motion to look like to give people an idea.

My CD.

Here is my design and finished product of what i have used to design my CD.

The pictures were taken in Burton.

Comparing my final CD design with this one i have used the same sort of colors but made mine less crowded with lots of writing and just kept mine as minimul as possible, because i just wanted mine to look simple but by putting a little poster card inside so their is something else in there apart from the CD.

I found this part of the task, easy and fun to do, because you could use your own ideas to make your CD, the only part i found hard about this task was getting the research and what sort of pictures/text and the sort of CD package to use.

CD Cover research.

There are many different sorts of designs you can choose from when it comes to making a CD cover, You can get the plain plastic ones, with the booklet inside with the lyrics and photographs in and a cover on the back with the song titles on, or you can go for a fold out cover, where it folds out with little detail on, and have a booklets in a pocket in the middle, with a booklet it, with all of details on, with the song lyrics, and then the CD.

I am thinking of making my CD cover fold out, where it's just one colour, with little detail on, with the Name of the artist on the front, and on the back a picture of the Artist itself, then as you fold it out, there's, words, written by hand, of words used in the lyrics, then, in one of the pockets you would find a booklet with all the song lyrics in, then have a few photos of the artist on the odd page, then the CD would be placed in the centre pocket and the last pocket would have the list of all the songs on the CD, and websites to the Artists web page.

CD Cover task.

In this task we had to get research on different types of CD covers you can get, and see how we could make one ourselves and design the cover, the booklet and the back, to make it our own, with a CD inside.

At the moment were only a few days into this task, but I'm finding quiet enjoyable because you can design it how you want it to look, and to show other people what your ideas are instead of just writing them down.

So far I haven't designed mine just yet, because I want to get as much research into this task as I can possibly get, then start designing the CD cover.

Evaluation.

In this assignment we had to research, magazine covers, album artwork and music videos, and a band that we liked, then find a band or solo artist who would like to make a video and have a photo shoot in the studio.

The first thing we had to do was make a blogger account, so we could put all our work and research on it, then we had to research a band we liked, and say why we liked them, then research magazine covers, album artwork and say way we liked or disliked them, then research music videos and say why we liked or disliked them.

Then as a group, me, Emily, Meg and keirein went out to do a location shoot, around Burton and take as many pictured as possible to put on out blog.

I have found this blogger quiet difficult because you had to make sure everything is up to date it is easy to use, but just getting enough information in the blog so there's more information then pictures, doing a blog is a good idea because you can put information straight from the internet onto the blog.
