Snapchat Video.

This is a video of Truffle thanking her fans and friends for supporting her throughout her career.

Snapchat

Throughout the duration of my media project I have used a new application called Snapchat. Snapchat involves creating videos or taking photos that can last up to a maximum to 10 seconds for your friends to view. In order to become someones friend you have to add the person either my their mobile number or their Snapchat name that they have chosen.

This was a useful social networking site because it allowed fans to see what Truffle part takes in on a daily basis. It also made me aware of the type of fan base that Truffle appeals to. I could also talk to fans via texting on snapchat which was interesting to hear their feedback of my music video.

Magazine front cover mock up

This is the front cover of the magazine "Oi". The magazine gives the reader an insight of Truffles life with an article from one of Truffles friends. The magazine also has lyrics to the song "Hot stuff" inside. This is to make the audience familiar with the latest song by Truffle and Coco.










 The back cover of the magazine is going to be blank because that space is usually reserved for advertisements.

Digipak mock up - Back cover

This is the Digipak back cover, i have chosen roses to be at 2 corners because they symbolise love. I have also chosen lips to be in the middle of the back cover because that is the body part that is shown in the music video. The butterfly resting on the lips symbolises a significant other.

Digipak mock up - Front cover

This is the Front cover of my Digipak mock up. I have chosen to use the colours red, orange and yellow because they symbolise Lust and Love. I have chosen a black background to make these colours stand out. I have chosen the image to be of a mouth because lips are one of the main parts of the body that is displayed in our music video.

Digipak mock up - Inside cover

This is the mock up version  of my Digipak. I have played around with different styles and have created the inside cover. I like the diversity of the pictures of myself, this gives the target audience an understanding of Truffles lifestyles. This would enable me to me relatable to my  fans/ target audience.

Digipak Do's and Don'ts

Things that are essential in my Digipak are:

• Clear and appropriate fonts.
• Ensure genre conventions and 70's styles are followed throughout the Digipak.
• Appropriately focused and shaped images.
• Make sure the colour scheme  in my music video and Digipak are the same

Things i should avoid in my music video are:

• Effects that are not related to my genre.
• Stretched images.
• Layer styles.
• Fonts that are hard to read or colours that contrast each other. 

Lovebox Promotional poster

This is the line up for a popular Festival that occurs in England. Truffle is on both of the days heading  lining amongst Rudimental and Snoop Dogg. I decided to create this poster in a media lesson. The colours of the poster complement the themes and conventions in Myself and Rayanne's music video. This is an event that occurs in a large park, the colours and layout help to appeal to our target audience. This is due to them being vibrant and bright that conveys the type of personality that my target audience has. The colours shows that this is a summer event which most festivals take place due to the hot weather.

Rough cut comments

I picked 6 people to assess my rough cut.I asked each person to tell me the main aspect that could be changed in order to make our music video great. These are the comments that I received.

Comment 1: On beat editing rarely takes place in your music video.

Solution to the problem: I am going to add more cuts and transitions on beat in order to grab the audiences attention in order to attract their attention.

Comment 2: The start of the music video hasn't irrelevant music playing.

Solution to the problem: I am going to extend the music or maybe add a scene that complements the lyrics of the song.

Comment 3: Some of the lip syncing isn't in sync with the song.

Solution to the problem: I plan to edit the lip syncing in order to make sure that it is in sync with the music.

Comment 4: Most of the shots are too long.

Solution to the problem:  This could result in the audience loosing interest in the music video. In order to prevent this i am going to shorten the shots. However, I'm not going to make them too short that prevents the audience from looking at them.

Comment 5: There isn't a variety of locations.

Reason why there isn't a variety of locations is because we plan to add effects and filming in different locations may hinder us from adding these effects to the music video.

Comment 6: Some of the clips are slotted in random places.

Reason: This is because we wanted to have an idea of where these shots fit into our music video.

Solution: Myself and Rayanne is going to discuss where each clip belongs when we do our final editing and fit each shot accordingly.
