Latest problem

After spending alot of time to try and make my digipack perfect, i realised that other members of a2 media were doing different to me, i forgot to put disk desgin on the pack, and just placed the background, and when i went to create this it wouldnt let me.

Another problem is i didnt use my common sense and realise that rough trade and Song bgm are two completely different record labels, so i need to go back and change that.

Also i missed out the terms and conditions (what i call it) so i need to change that.

ideas for promotion

-

Internet-

 Everyone uses the internet in this decade, because it has every answer to any question and can help us gain all the oppertunities. This means only one thing, that it could possibly be the best way to promote our band, and new release, as they can buy it through itunes and other sites.

The ways inwhich we could promote through the interent, is to put banners up on sites that audiences visit, we could also input interviews on youtube, to make the band look as exclusive as possible.



Facebook/social networks- this is always a good way to promote singles and realeses as people tend to be living on social networks expesially our target audience.

posters- posters to be pasted up almost everywhere, catching everyones eye.

tv- adverts, interviews and previews. TV is seen by all eyes.

location

Because we had to change our plan, we needed to change our location...

location 1- is the same as our original plan, which was to film in a white room, and put balloons in it. This is what we will label the 'studio'.

location 2- in the park, this is a scene where the lads will be having fun, hopefully giving an unstagged effect.

location 3- in a house- this is where the scene will be where nik has a night mare

Example poster

This is a example poster, something that i hope will be similar to my poster, in the respect 

poster

this is the poster that advertises our single being out on the 21st february, the idea was to make is graphical and bright to attract our audiences eyes. 

This is my digipack that i made for the single Baggy Trousers, its fun, its loud, its happy and bright.. which is the definition of the band..

front cover- the front cover is the repeat of the advertisement poster, keeping to the pattern. It has four images on it, that have shadows behind, signifying their background as characters in the band, each shot of each of the boys in the band reflects on their personality. And the significance of the color usage exaggerate who they are, they each have bows, and each of these bows are different colors, that represent the personalities of the character. For example that top left hand corner is Jamie, who is posing to the camera, his bow is pink that is exactly him, not i the homosexual way but in the 'i'm a ladies man way'. the right hand top corner is Nick, introduced as the main character of the band, he is orange, the representations of orange are bright and cheerful, with a little bit of mystery.

The bottom left hand corner is Luke, his is a yellow background reflecting on his cheerful and social personality, the fact that he is laughing in the photo shows that he is approachable. The last image on the right hand corner, is of tommy, which is green, i feel the green represents happiness and kindness.

The font on the front cover is a purply blue color, a rather light color, that shows their uniqueness and boldness. The effect of the 'z' falling of shows that they are unique and have a bit of an edge to them.

above this image is the inside image, so that when you open it up you see the images of all four of them, but in a graphic way, each of the photos are tinted the colors that their bows are, this image reflects on an 70-80's styled film.

The enlarged image beside this is of the boys together on a bench, this is a good image because it shows the friendship between the for boys. i decided to make it so big because then when the audience open the cd it reveals a light hearted image... which can be rather effective.

The orange image bellow this is of two of the band members looking up at the character, this could be classed as humorous and a sign of the friendship, i feel this image works in the digi pack because it is so corny, and i feel this is a good thing because you might say that the band takes the mickey out of corny groups.

the back cover is of Jamie in his mums outfit. As i feel this is possibly the best image idea of the music video, so it is quite sweet to have this as a backcover, as it finished of the music video, it can finish of the cd cover.

making of my digipak

This is a screen shot for my digi-pack.. as you can see i have made them two look similar, keeping a consistent pattern.
