Finished Digipak
These are the Final designs for the panels of our digipak. From left to right, top to bottom front cover, back cover, inside panels.
To create these panels was quite simple. I made them all black and white and altered the opacity so the dark grey background would make the whole image a bit darker. Then for the front and back covers i added the band logo and the text. For the first inside panel i took the image and just added a filter so it became dark and all you could see was the outline and then finally for the second inside panel i took a still of the clouds from the video and also made them black and white and then changed the opacity of both the band image and the clouds so it resembled our video.

Finished Advert
For the advert I took a still of the clouds from our video then layered on a picture of the band. I erased the outside of the band so the clouds came through. Then i smoothed the edges so it didn't look as sharp. I then put on the image of the front cover and the text and turn it all black and white. We need to increase the brightness of the front cover so it was visible. I then decided that it needed colour so I looked back at the video and decided to change the colour of the clouds to red and also the date because it needed to stand out. I put an outer and inner glow of the image of the band so it increased the smoothness and faded better with the clouds and finally gave the front cover a shadow so it stood out more from the image of the band.

Audience Feedback on Digipak and Advert
We gave people our questionnaire which asked them questions on our music video and digipak, it featured links to both so could find them and answer the questions on it.
These were the results we obtained.
The video below shows a basic summary of the answers given for the video and ancillary task.

Band Name and Logo
For our band name we have decided on Raw Rebellion. This struck us as a name that would work for our band.
This our band logo. The black and white represents the band as a rock band, it lets people, who dont know much about the band, know what to expect before they even listen to the music. We have represented the bands name in the centre of our shield.
The lions in this logo represent a wild side to our band and the combination of the lion and the shield is used to represent dominance. The font we chose for the RR in the middle of our shield was chosen to represent a rock look about our bands logo, we have wildness and dominance and we had to round them together to have a rock feel to it all.

Equipment and Technology used
Making our music Video
To collect all our footage we will need to use video cameras that college will provide.
When we have all of our footage we will have to use Final Cut Express to edit the footage and piece our final product together. This program allows us to put all our scenes and footage into an order that we want, this is also were we add the sound to the video as well.
Ancillary tasks
When we are doing our ancillary tasks i will need a still camera to get my shots of the band in the adverts and the digipack.
The camera we will use is a Nikon D300 10.2 mp camera.
When we have taken these pictures we will have to use more programs on the computers to make the images exactly how we want them.
To get the actual image we want we will use 2 programs.
Photoshop will be used first to get the image exactly how we want it. If we need to crop, cut or change the lighting of the image.
Once we have finished getting our image,getting it exactly how we want it in terms of lighting and any other editing we need to do we will move onto InDesign. This will allow us to put different backgrounds on if we need to, and add the text that we will need to finalize our digipack and our album advert.

Music and Lyrics
I've been here before a few times
And I'm quite aware we're dying
And your hands they shake with goodbyes
And I'll take you back if you'd have me
So here I am I'm trying
So here I am are you ready
Come on let me hold you touch you feel you
Always
Kiss you taste you all night
Always
And I'll miss your laugh your smile
I'll admit I'm wrong if you'd tell me
I'm so sick of fights I hate them
Lets start this again for real
So here I am I'm trying
So here I am are you ready
So here I am I'm trying
So here I am are you ready
Come on let me hold you touch you feel you
Always
Kiss you taste you all night
Always
Come on let me hold you touch you feel you
Always
Kiss you taste you all night
Always
I've been here before a few times
And I'm quite aware we're dying
Come on let me hold you touch you feel you
Always
Kiss you taste you all night
Always
Come on let me hold you touch you feel you
Always
Kiss you taste you all night
Always
Always
Always

Synopsis
For our video we want to shoot a performance and also a narrative then merge the two together. We think by having both it makes the video more interesting and the audience are less likely to get bored if it was all performance or narrative. We will have a three man band just like Blink 182 then we will also have a couple for the narrative. The band will obviously be playing the song and the characters in the narrative will be acting. We hope to film the performance from a variety of angles and heights so we have a vast array to choose from. For the narrative we were thinking about a couple that fall out because thats what the song is based on plus we hope to create flashbacks of the arguing in the past. We also have some ideas for editing such as slow motion, someone receives a text and violently throws their phone but it flys in slow motion.

Introduction to Planning
We have now completed our research into our genre and videos we will now move on to the planning of our own video. By planning what we hope to do now we will be organised when it comes to the filming, we will know what we want to shoot and what we don't but in the editing some things may change, like the order of shots for example. But by planning we want leave everything until the last minute and we will be prepared for recording.
Due to the company wanting us to pay we decided to change the song to Always by Blink 182.

Institution
Our music would be owned by a major label because it is mainstream and it has already been done. it would be owned by a major label like the Universal Music Group. The Universal Music Group cover a lot of different music genres so there isn't a need to add any features to make it stand out as a Universal Music Group product.

Reflection on branding
Through looking into the branding of an artist in my chosen genre which is rock i have learnt that it is very important how a band gets themselves represented by the public. When i looked into kasabian I found that they are very popular because they are very spontaneous, which means that when we come to portray our artist we cant make eveything predictale, something that catches peoples eyes, or simply makes them thnik twice about will have to be included in my music video and the print projects.
When thinking about branding i have found that it is very important to let the audience know what genre you are, this is so the audience know what to expect from the artist. It is also important to keep certain things the same. Kasabians album covers and music style changed constantly but the Logo is clear on every album cover, this is because it is simply the name Kasabian but in there own special font that has now become linked with the band.

Kasabians album covers and music style changed constantly but the Logo is clear on every album cover, this is because it is simply the name Kasabian but in there own special font that has now become linked with the band.
As you can see from both these album covers, the logo appears across both of the images, this font for the logo is closelyt linked with the band so whenever you see it used you know who it is.
For my artist i would have to keep something the same all the way through so it becomes easy to recognise the artist through this small or large feature that is recurring where ever you see the band.
Branding is very importand for a band because it creates a sense of undserstanding with the audience. Kasabian are branded as a gereally honest band who do it because they love music and what they do for a living. Because of this they never sell out and fans respect them for this, they also give the audience a good idea of what is going to be oin the album from a simple picture.
