Digi-pack cover and Magazine Advert

Digi-pack Cover
We chose these images as they make the artist look casual but in charge. The monochrome colour scheme matches our video so that all the products related to it are recognizable to an audience. We included quotes to show our product in a good light so people are more likely to buy it. We chose images on the spine of the DVD cover of glow stars from the video, this links to the 'celebrity lifestyle' atmosphere of the video.

Magazine Advert
Our magazine cover includes an image from the back of our DVD cover.

Brainstorming: Images for the DVD cover



We could use these images in colour or in black and white



Response to Feedback

Positive feedback included the fact that our background with glowing stars matched the lyrics and that the sunglasses fitted the genre.
We feel that some of the feedback on our video was somewhat unfair as we used many conventions used music videos of a similar genre but group did not pick up on it.
In order to improve our video we could make sure a camera had enough battery to film before we left so that we could get more footage.

It wasnt very energetic for the type of genre, or colourful. However the editing was very good which could fit a typical convention of the characteristics for a grime/hip-hop music video.

As the video did not empahsis the lyrics it was good they had lip syncing, as it ment the audience could understand what he was saying, this challenged the conventions of this type of video.

The background had stars on it, which fitted with the lyrics of the song, which was good.

The voyeurism was focused on the 'models' we think it should have been focused more on the lead artist.
U2 - 57
The music video genre is hip-hop/RnB. We found the music video quite boring as noting happened other than people turning around and taking sunglasses off and putting them back on. On the other hand the lip syncing was very precise and fit perfectly.
The hip-hop/RnB genre characterisics were not really met as the action of the girls wasn't very typical of this genre.
Also more could've been done to sell the artist as there wasn't much focus on the singer during the song, and he didn't show off the rest of his body which is a typical aspect of this genre.
The backdrop fitted the music and lyrics, but apart from that nothing else in the video fitted the music or lyrics.
We could improve the video by showing off more of the singer and selling the artisc in more locations.

U2-56
Voyeurism - Close ups of the main singer and other girls.
Genre Characteristics - Matched the real video, like the effects where it fades in and out. you expect to see the main singer who is usually a man. They used sunglasses which is a characteristic of rnb music.
Visuals/Music - The music matched the beat and tempo
Visuals/Lyrics - The song mentions stars in the lyrics, and in the background they have stars put up on the wall.
intertextuality - there is no intertextualiy.
Need to sell the artist - ......
u2-58
Lip syncing was good and the lighting was appropriate to the genre. The stars were linked to the lyrics which worked well. Which is one of Goodwins points.
We thought it was a bit short though.
Wasn't any voyeurism, and the video was repetitive.
They sold the artist by using flashy glasses. Which stood out in the dark lighting.
This video is similar to the original video, which means he is able to sell himself because he is recognised in his videos, which is intertextuality.
The video could appeal to a male audience because it is just females in the video.

Storyboards and Shot List

Shot list:



Research of videos in the same genre as 'Pass Out'



In this video the pace is really fast, the lighting is dark and there are lots of effects. This makes it similar to our music video because ours has the same conventions. Both Pendulum and Tinie Tempah's music both have a certain element of 'Drum and Bass' which makes the songs more fast paced.



The reason we looked at this music video is because it had the star effect and in ours we were planning to use stars for the line 'We bring the stars out' this video helped us with inspiration for the line as a visual feature.
