A2 course work

For my coursework at A2 I have paired with my friend Emily and between us we have chosen the following task:

A promotion package for the release of an album, to include;

- A music promo video

- A cover for its release as part of a digipak (cd/dvd package)

- A magazine advertisement for the digipak (cd/dvd package).

We chose this task due to our joint interest in art which we have both persuaded by taking as an a level; this contributes to our creative interest within the design of the of the cd cover and magazine advertisement. For this task we have combined the skills we learnt during the production of our AS coursework; Emily focused on the production and editing of film as she made a film opening (using apple software to edit), where as I worked with print and created a magazine cover, contents and double page spread (using Photoshop software to edit). In addition the main focus of this task (producing a music video) is suited to both Emily and I as we are fortunate to have friends and family members who are part of unsigned bands from which we can use their music; the genre of music these bands produce ranges from rock to indie. Our initial idea is to use music from my step brothers current band, however since listening to it we have decided that the previous band he was in 'Vatican Jet' would suit the music video better as its stronger material to work with, for instance their bass lines are more powerful and the difference between the pace and energy of the songs brings the music up to date with the current indie scene.
