Still Images

These are still shots that I have taken from my edited footage in order to create my digipak. Instead of recreating the diegesis, I decided to take still images from my footage therefore I feel I am strongly maintaining the continuity throughout my three tasks.

Digital Mock Up

This is my first digital mock up for my digipak. I have focused on images from Jack White as he is the main inspiration when creating my music video and my digipak/magazine advertisement. I have kept in the guidelines of my colour scheme in order to give me a clearer idea as to what my digipak will look like when I have finished it. I am aware that the top left and the middle left images are not supposed to be round however, I initially thought I was to create a CD image.

I created my digital mock up using Adobe Photoshop and I will use the same software when creating my real digipak. I have created a digital mock up so I can gather a rough idea of what my real digipak will look like. 

I used specific tools when creating my digipak in order to help me create the highest product possible. I have worked with Photoshop before however I still feel a little unfamiliar therefore by creating a digital mock up, this was a great way for my to practice my Photoshop skills before creating my final digipak.

These are some of the tools and techniques I used to create my first digital mock up.

Font Questionnaire Feedback

By looking at the overall questionnaires, it is clear that the audience prefer the first font that is on the questionnaire. Reasons why they have chosen this font is due to it being a unique and different font that requires it's own attitude. The audience thought this font sustained the ideologies of the genre: 'Alternative rock and punk' and also maintained the ideologies of the band. The audience thought the font also promoted the band name 'Victims of the Euphoric'.

Font Questionnaire

This is my font questionnaire; this will help me establish which font I should use when creating my poster and my digipak. I will hand this out on the 5th March to a range of different people.

Fonts

Bad Coma -

I like this font because it connotes ideas and feelings of unease and uncertainty. It is a scary font that will make the audience feel uncomfortable and unsettled therefore will connote similar ideas of which the music video and lyrics will also connote.

An Unfortunate Event -

This font is very similar to Evanescence's font however I feel that this font is scary and also connotes ideas of unease which is what I want to achieve.

Something in the Way -

I like this font because it is a distorted kind of font that portrays feelings on unease and uncertainty to the audience. This font is unique and different in comparison to Evanescence's own font.

Old Dog - 

This font works extremely well with the genre of the band and the song. This text sends messages of isolation and loneliness to the audience therefore they gain feelings of unease and uncertainty before even listening to this song.

Pulse Sans -

I like this font as it is extremely different and unique that also portrays the ideas of loneliness, isolation, unease and uncertainty. It holds a distorted style to it that also enhances these feelings for the audience.

Dreaming -

I love the style of this font, it connotes an almost religious effect for the audience. This style of text is scary and connotes feelings on unease and uncertainty for the audience before even having listened to the song itself.

I have researched different font websites in order to finalize the different options I have available to me, I feel that Dafont will benefit me the most as this is where I received the options above. 

Band/Song Name

I have decided to chance my song name back to the original name of  'Bring Me To Life' however, I am going to call the album 'Retention of Fate'. The reason behind the change is that I did not have a current name for the album produced by my band.
